When was the last time you saw a soft drink ad with alcohol in it?

Sprite with vodka speaks for itself.

Sprite. The soft drink with a message: tingling tartness.

Not anything you’ve heard before.
Or tasted.
Get a carton of Sprite and hear how it turns vodka on.
Then taste!

If a soft drink answers don’t hang up.
