She’s Arlene Manko, a Pittsburgh resident who was born on Leap Day in 1936, meaning her birthday comes once every four years. It also means this Leap Day will be her official 21st birthday. To celebrate, Aviation Gin owner Ryan Reynolds wanted to make sure her first legal drink was Aviation Gin.
Of course, Manko isn’t the only person born on Feb. 29, 1936., although she was featured in a video celebrating her “21st birthday.” So the brand invited anyone born on Feb. 29, 1936, to email Reynolds at Ryan@aviationgin.com for a gift card to an online spirits retailer.
