Which celebrity alcohols to add to your cart and which ones to avoid.
Celebrities go to great lengths to prove they are more than one dimensional—from actors releasing albums to pop stars hitting the big screens to socialites studying at Ivies—and sometimes those side projects turn into more than projects, launching entirely new careers (and streams of revenue) for the already rich and famous. One of the most common side-ventures is celebrity alcohol, which gives these recognizable faces a moment to show their business savvy.
Some celebrity alcohols have taken on a life of their own—so much so you might not even know they were created by a famous person—while others have had to rely a little more heavily on name recognition to garner sales. However, what we’re focusing on is not the alcohol’s general popularity, but instead, we’re looking at how good it actually is. Do these celebrities have the right to call themselves business moguls or are they simply re-bottling cleaning products?
