Coinciding with the release of a highly anticipated new album, a Johnnie Walker x Sabrina Carpenter partnership has been announced, inspiring fans to sip and mix their own Sabrina-inspired Johnnie Walker cocktails.
Imagery for the Johnnie Walker Black Label x Sabrina Carpenter campaign offers a nod to "the golden age of spirits advertising," as well as Sabrina's signature style, clever sense of humor, charm and the energy her latest album, Man's Best Friend, embodies.
This global campaign debuts alongside the final leg of Sabrina Carpenter's Short n' Sweet Tour. At select stops on the tour, fans of legal drinking age are invited to enjoy Sabrina's signature Johnnie Walker Black Label cocktails, including a Manhattan, a whisky sour and a Black Label Cherry Highball.
