Ryan Reynolds honors the hospitality industry in a new Super Bowl commercial unveiled on Friday.
Reynolds, owner of Aviation Gin, teamed up with Diddy, who owns Deleon Tequila and David Beckham, who owns Haig Club Whisky, to create a new cocktail, before realizing they are terrible mixologists.
In the funny clip, Reynolds says they added some ‘botanicals and natural ingredients from Tampa bay and Kansas City’ to mix up ‘something special’ for Sunday’s big game.

Unsurprisingly, the mix of gin, tequila and whisky is not a winning combination and Diddy declares it tastes like ‘a** feet’ as he promptly spits it out.
‘For the last 10 months, Diddy, David and me, Ryan Reynolds have been hard at work on an industry first.’ Reynolds narrates in the clip.
‘A daring combination of Deleon Tequila, Haig Club Whisky, Aviation American Gin, and natural flavors found in both Tampa Bay and Kansas City, made to be the one cocktail, everyone can enjoy this Sunday.’

The camera cuts back to Reynolds who splutters expletives which are beeped out, ‘dammit, that’s so f*cking gross.’
‘Ryan, that tastes like a** feet,’ Diddy summarizes, while Beckham says, ‘Ryan, this it not gonna work.’

‘This is why we need mixologists,’ the caption reads as the screen goes black.
It’s then revealed that the trio have donated $1 million to support the bartending community affected by the pandemic. The donation will be split between Another Round, Another Rally, Bartender’s Benevolent Fund and Drinks Trust UK.
All of the organizations aim to help those who have been struggling in the hospitality industry over the last year.
Reynolds didn’t confirm the commercial will air during Super Bowl but he mentioned Sunday in his tweet so it’s likely to broadcast at some point on the day.
