Crystal Head Vodka is no joke
October 6th, 2008 by Edward Adams in DrinkOn Friday, the web was peppered with rumblings about a video featuring Dan Ackroyd of SNL/Ghost Busters fame promoting vodka in a replica of a crystal skull. Some people thought it was a joke - a satire piece to promote the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull DVD release, but believe it or not it’s real.
Crystal Head is a quadruple-distilled, Herkimer diamond-filtered vodka produced by the Newfoundland Liquor Corporation according to the Crystal Head Vodka website. The bottle is an accurate glass rendering of the human skull created by artist, John Alexander.
Although I couldn’t find any package stores in Atlanta who plan to carry it (or had heard of it for that matter), you can purchase it online at winex.com and BevMo.com. Crystal Skull retails online between $39 - $49.

What a disappointment. I went with a friend to the Blue Martini as we weren’t able to make it over to St. Pete. we waited for three or four hours for Mr Ackroyd — I heard he whizzed through around 11:30 or so. Silly me, I bought a bottle that was supposed to go for $100. but they raised the price to 125; I bought it anyway– hook, line, and sinker and within a split second– I guess he appeared and disappeared as quickly — that is what Mr Akroyd did and I was left holding the skull. What a joke and a huge disappointment. A hell-of-a-way to promote your product. He’s not too funny anymore, or is he? Oh, Dan -if your out there how can you make a wrong act of extortion right? Love to hear from you.
