Meet & Greet with George "The Iceman" Gervin at ICE 44 Vodka

The Iceman will be doing a meeting and greet at the Texas Restaurant Show on Sunday, July 12 at 11am in the Bar & Nightclub Showcase. He will be there with his ICE 44 Vodka in booth 1819. 

George “The Iceman” Gervin (#44, San Antonio Spurs) is one of the greatest scorers in basketball history and the player who helped put the San Antonio Spurs on the national map. A Hall of Famer, four-time NBA scoring champion, nine-time NBA All-Star, and member of both the NBA’s 50th and 75th Anniversary Teams, Gervin became famous for his effortless scoring, signature finger roll, and cool demeanor that earned him the nickname “The Iceman.” His iconic No. 44 jersey is retired by the Spurs, and his impact on the franchise and the game continues to inspire generations of players and fans.

Today, Gervin has brought that same commitment to excellence to ICE 44 Vodka, a premium spirits brand inspired by his legendary career. The brand is available in Original, Pineapple, Green Apple, and Blueberry flavors and celebrates the spirit of excellence, sophistication, and San Antonio pride.
