Green, now 51, opens with a wink to real-life news: his fiancée, Sharna Burgess, recently shared her plans to have a sixth child.
“Since my fiancée very publicly said she wants me to father a sixth child, I’m celebrating with a reverse vasectomy,” he says.
He then admits he has no clue how to make one. Spelling then enters the scene, teasing: “You can’t do anything without me.”
The "Beverly Hills 90210" duo then recreates a fizzy gin-based cocktail that nods to their on-screen partnership as David and Donna.
The drink includes Aviation Gin, cranberry juice, lemon, tonic, and an orange twist.
As the final stir is added, Reynolds pops in to declare, “Now kiss!” prompting Green to clarify that they’re not a couple.
Aviation Gin continues to position itself as an entertainment brand as much as a spirits company, using humor and storytelling instead of traditional product marketing.
A Toast to Then and Now
While the ad brings laughs, it also marks a reunion.
Green and Spelling dated briefly in the ’90s and starred together in 10 seasons of 90210.
But they hadn’t been in close contact for nearly 18 years after the show ended in 2000.
In a recent episode of Green’s podcast "Oldish," Spelling reflected on how difficult it was to part ways after 90210, describing their last conversation as deeply emotional.
The Father’s Day campaign follows Aviation Gin’s recent tradition of quirky celebrity pairings.
Previous spots have featured Nick Cannon and Jessie James Decker.
Last year, the brand stirred buzz with a Deadpool-themed edition featuring Ryan Reynolds in costume, mixing the Vasectomy cocktail with signature sarcasm.
This time, the cocktail’s backstory is tied directly to real-life family talk.
With a simple recipe and a familiar on-screen duo, the ad delivers more than a cocktail.
It entertainingly combines pop culture with personal storytelling in Aviation Gin’s signature style.
Meanwhile, Reynolds is making business moves of his own as Maximum Effort parts ways with MNTN in a new ownership deal.
