Wellington, Mar 1 : Pop star Britney Spears has reportedly been approached by a New Zealand company to be the face of their new cocktail.

The local company is looking to launch a new cocktail worldwide, where they require an international face to give the launch a big impact, reports the NZPA.

Earlier, Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria was approached but she wasn''t available. Socialite Kim Kardashian was also in the running.

But was eliminated because her image was deemed "too trashy".

The company execs were also unsure about whether she actually drinks. (ANI)
