MARTINI & ROSSI: has launched an ad campaign called The Martini Factory to encourage people to enjoy vermouth as an aperitif, a widely popular beverage in Europe, the company said.

These original works are reappearing in print ads. A collection of six Warhol-inspired vermouth cocktails will be enjoyed at an invitation-only party in New York City on Aug. 6., what would have been Warhol’s 80th birthday. This summer, the company will work with restaurants and bars to launch the cocktails in several key markets including New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Washington, DC, New Orleans and Savannah, GA.
