Diddy, David Beckham and Ryan Reynolds have donated $1 million to several organisations that support the bartending community.

In an online video, the trio team up to combine their spirits with botanicals and natural ingredients from Tampa Bay and Kansas City in commemoration of last night’s Super Bowl match up.

The three celebrities are involved in the drinks industry. Ryan Reynolds owns the American gin brand, Aviation Gin; Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is the owner of Deleon Tequila and David Beckham has been a partner of Haig Whisky since 2014.

The donation will be split between Another Round, Another Rally, Bartender’s Benevolent Fund and Drinks Trust UK.
