Silver Screen Bottling Company's Ten-Forward Vodka, licensed by CBS Consumer Products, is Star Trek's first official vodka. ...a small batch of Ten-Forward Vodka will be sent into the mesosphere using a high-altitude balloon in the next few weeks — and documented with photo evidence — before being blended in the with rest of its earthbound brethren and bottled, "ensuring that a portion of every bottle will contain vodka from space," as the brand writes.Sure, it's a stunt we've seen before, and one Ryan Mcelveen, Chief Operating Officer of Silver Screen Bottling, admits is a little tongue-in-cheek — the booze's space journey won't improve its flavor — but he hopes it's just one of many flourishes Trekkies can appreciate. He also points to the bottle's artwork, which is courtesy of a Star Trek legend. "The graphics were designed by a guy named Michael Okuda," Mcelveen explained. "He has serious cred in the Star Trek community." Indeed, Okuda has been a designer on the Star Trek TV series and movies since the '80s, not to mention that he also created a bunch of NASA mission patches. |
