Ellen Von Unwerth photograph Kate Beckinsale and Zooey Deschanel for Absolut

Ellen Von Unwerth has photographed actresses Kate Beckinsale and Zooey Deschanel as specific Vodka drinks for Absolut. We have Mary in the mirror, a Barbarella retake for Cosmo, a twisted pop art image for "twist", and finally Beckinsale as the 50-foot woman in "Crush".

With the tagline, ‘Every Drink is an Exceptional Experience,’ the new ads are a tribute to those drinks that changed the playing field within the cocktail community and continue to have relevance among today’s vodka connoisseurs.  The initiative underlines that every cocktail starts with a story – from the legendary lore of the Bloody Mary’s creation at Harry’s Bar in Paris to the legions of female fans of the otherworldly Cosmopolitan. “As the next iteration in the campaign, ‘Drinks’ is a witty interpretation of classic cocktails that pay homage to ABSOLUT VODKA’s legacy as a truly iconic spirits brand and the key ingredient in making these drinks an exceptional experience for consumers and bartenders,” says Tim Murphy, ABSOLUT Vice President of Marketing.  “No other vodka has as much longevity within both the cocktail and creative worlds, and “Drinks” is the culmination of our 30 years of bringing collaborations to life, while showcasing the drinks that made the brand a back bar staple.”
