Here a reclining couple is the focal point of a Schweppes Ginger Ale advertisement, a choice that set it apart from the bottle-and-glass compositions common to drinks advertising of its era. Schweppes, the carbonated mixer company founded in the eighteenth century, promoted ginger ale as a refined, sophisticated beverage suitable for social occasions rather than only a stomach remedy or children's drink. Pairing the product with a relaxed, leisurely scene signals leisure and companionship, and it is worth noticing how the advertiser used human warmth to make a soft drink feel like part of a pleasant, adult evening.
