Ryan Reynolds Donates Proceeds Of Sales Of Aviation Gin To Bartenders Out Of Work Due To Coronavirus

Reynolds is donating 30% of the proceeds of online sales of Aviation Gin to the United States Bartender’s Guild through May 1 as part of the brand’s “Tip Your Bartenders” program. Miss your favorite bar and bartender? Buy a bottle of Aviation Gin and help them out. The Deadpool actor took to Twitter to say: As the cases of the coronavirus continue to multiply across the U.S., several states including New York, California, and Washington have shot down restaurants, bars, and other non-essential businesses in an effort to keep people home and stop the spread of the virus. As necessary as this is, many people, including bartenders, are now without jobs or income until things reopen. Aviation Gin kicked off this effort with a $15,000 donation to the Bartender’s Guild. This isn’t the first charitable act Reynolds has done in the midst of the global pandemic. Last week, he and his wife Blake Lively donated $1 million to two food banks in the U.S. and Canada. Never one to miss a chance to make a joke, he also said: “I think we can all agree, Covid-19 is an asshole.” Stay home, folks. It will slow (and hopefully eventually stop) the spread of the virus. The more we stay home now, the sooner we can get back to normal life!
