So, Jason Momoa is going to Market Basket. With vodka. And he wants to take a selfie with you. And he’s going to five Boston restaurants. And he’s going to put on a rock show. (Jason, wait: You had us, Market Basket.)

Yes, the Game of Thrones actor and Meili co-founder – Blaine Halvorson, creator of MadeWorn – is currently on an East Coast tour to promote his Meili Vodka. Starting Monday, they have two jam-packed days in the Boston area of ​​shots (vodka) and shots (for your Instagram).

According to their press team, the duo will kick things off at 3:30 p.m. Monday with a stop at Boston Italian restaurant Nebo.

Then, according to View’s website, you can “enjoy a cocktail” with the two pals atop the Pru at View Boston. The duo will be at the Stratus Rooftop Bar at 4:15 p.m. According to the event brochure, a ticket lets you “take in the view, take the perfect selfie, and sip on a specialty cocktail featuring Meili.” (Pronounced MAY-lee.)

Next up: “Aquaman” and his buddy head to Nautilus at the Seaport at 5 p.m., according to the restaurant’s Insta. Sip on cocktails like “Crown for a King,” “C Foam,” or “I Want Somoa.”

These two love their rooftops, because next they’re hopping up to The Envoy’s rooftop terrace at 6 p.m. According to the venue’s Instagram, you can sip craft cocktails and “listen to the duo tell the inspiring story that brought this spirit to life.” Reservations are available and walk-ins are welcome, the post says.

You’re in luck if you managed to get a seat at the Reel House in East Boston—according to the venue’s Eventbrite, the room is now sold out.

Can’t make it anywhere on Monday?

Have no fear, Boston: The big free public event on Tuesday will take place at no other location than the Market Basket.

Clean up aisle 4, because unsuspecting shoppers at Danvers Market Basket could lose their Polar and Teddie when they run into Khal Drogo signing bottles and waiting to take selfies while shopping at DeMoulas on Tuesday.

Momoa — coming soon to a theater near you with Jack Black and Jennifer Coolidge, Norwell native and Harvard Hasty Pudding, 73rd Woman of the Year in “A Minecraft Movie” — will leave Boston on a high note: a rock show. He plays with his band Oof Tatata at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Memoire at Encore Boston in Everett (tickets start at $20 for the 21-and-over event).

“Market Basket was one of the first retailers in Massachusetts to carry Meili, so we’re excited to stop by, sign a few bottles – and tell our story,” Halvorson – also co-founder of Junk Food Clothing – told Boston.com via email.

Momoa told Boston.com via email that he and Halvorson “met through mutual friends about 15 years ago and hit it off right away. It was one of those scenarios where you wonder, ‘Are we best friends now?'”

“We both share a common passion for craft, art, design – the whole process,” Momoa said. “We knew we wanted to build something together from the ground up… We started nine years ago – and after a lot of research, blood, sweat and hard work, we finally created Meili.”

Momoa suggested we try Meili – Old Norse for “the beautiful one”, the son of Odin – pure.

“It’s incredibly bold, but we always encourage everyone to try Meili neat – at room temperature, before mixing it with anything else,” Momoa said. “Very few people find vodka truly drinkable, but Meili is impressive no matter how it’s served.”

(The gauntlet has been thrown down. Tell me what you think, Boston.)

The vodka is made in Bozeman, Montana. Blaine said the friends are on a tour up the East Coast to “visit new customers in person… The energy has been incredible so far and we’re super grateful to everyone who stops by.”
