Brass Monkey Pitcher - by Heublein

in 2 collections

This brass colored monkey-shaped pitched has a handle and a spout and is marked "Brass Monkey" on the back.

In the World War II era, a "Brass Monkey" was beer and orange juice. Later it was a cocktail produced in the 1970s, 80s and 90s by the Heublein Company that was made from rum, vodka and orange juice.

They also created a fictional story about a World War II spy as a marketing ploy.

The spy, named H.E. Rasske, and many of his adventures, revolved around a Singapore bar called The Brass Monkey, and this later inspired the TV show Tales of the Gold Monkey (1982 - 1983).

It also inspired more than a few bar owners who named their establishment after the drink advertising.
