Dan Marino launches “Americana” Vodka
Dan Marino is a Hall of Famer, a broadcaster, an entrepreneur, a restauranteur, a philantropist and many other things.
He’s now a booze peddler as well.
Not that that’s a bad thing! In fact, we love that Marino has introduced his new vodka on to the world. It’s called “Americana”, and it was introduced to the world at Maria Pia’s restaurant in New York City on Monday night.
In a way, I think it infuses some class into the “jock” reputation many athletes get stuck in after retirement.
I’ve seen many, many athletes invest in wineries after their days on the field. Joe Montana is the biggest name amongst them, as he lives on a ranch in Northern California that doubles as a wine field.
Peggy Fleming, Dick Vermeil, Mario Andretti and Tom Seaver also have invested their time and talent to that particular field.
But Marino is the first I know of that’s gone into the vodka business - and more power to him!
His chain of Dan Marino’s Restaurants and Hooters franchises have thrived since his retirement, and he seems to be successful at just about everything he tries to do.
So, if you see it in your local restaurant or pub, be sure to order up a little slice of Americana.

I think it is great that Dan Marino is involved with “Americana” vodka. He does so much for children through his foundation as well as helping many famlies. I will be sure to support this vodka because he represents the meaning of being a true American! Cheers!

You can’t get more American than Dan Marino, He is a true roll model and it is about time a big time American hero gets involved with an American product. What a great product to go against all those foreign imports. I heard Anericana won a Gold medal with an international tasting group.
Go Americana, I can’t wait to see your Super bowl Commerical.

I found Americana Vodka in my local “Buy Rite” in Monmouth County N.J. It was wonderful, I will keep buying it. Thanks.

Hey just tried Americana and it was the best I ever had, who needs imports when you can buy something from AMERICA with out it costing more than the imports.

Great site! I brought a bottle of Americana to a holiday party, it was a hit. I am starting to see this vodka pop up at some big time nightclubs in NYC. It’s about time someone is supporting an AMERICAN product. This JETS fan says...."Great job Marino!”

I drank Americana Vodka this past weekend at a super bowl party. I went out this afternoon and bought and liter of it. I think I have a new vodka… more power to Dan Marino and to those at Americana Vodka!

My husband and I just had Americana this past weekend. It really is good. I will start looking for it!

I was attracted to the American look the bottle has. It was well worth buying! I wish Dan Marino luck with this!

Just went to Max’s Liquors to get a few bottles for July 4th!

We found Americana at Wegmans in Princeton, New Jersey. My husband and I bought two Americana Vodka gift baskets for The Fourth of July! I am going to two different parties and I figured it would make a perfect house warming.
Jane Doe on 07/02 at 08:47 AM
Does the Wegmans in Manalapan N.J have the vodka?
Ronnie Pearl on 07/06 at 02:28 PM
Drank it in Wildwood N.J.

I think very highly of Dan Marino, and Americana Vodka! My friend brought it over for July 4th… he noticed the bottle and felt it was aperfect for the holiday!
John Buckley on 07/09 at 02:14 PM
It ws the bottle design that made me buy it for July 4th. I am very interested in different vodkas. Americana has certainly caught my attention!

I just found it at 67Wines on Columbus Ave in New York.
Steve Ustaris on 08/12 at 08:54 AM
We all drank it at STK in New York ... we had about 15 bottles.
