Ryan Reynolds Introduces Miracle On Ice Aviation Cocktail To Celebrate 1980 Winter Olympics

To celebrate the Winter Olympics, Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds took to social media to share a new cocktail based on the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team. Called the “Miracle on Ice,” the drink features Aviation Gin (in which Reynolds has an ownership stake, making him the perfect pitchman) along with cold brew coffee, ice, and oat milk. The ad, which you can see below, features the hockey team’s captain, Mike Eruzione, and talks about triumph over adversity and sending a message to the world. Of course, it’s hard to ignore that in 1980, the U.S. beat the U.S.S.R. in the “miracle” game (which set the stage for a win against Finland for the Olympic gold), and right now, tensions are ratcheting up between the U.S. and Russia.

I make mine with actual rink-ice. Celebrate the #MiracleOnIce, a drink 42 years in the making. @AviationGin pic.twitter.com/6EcueVazRx
