Blake Lively expands business amid summers

Blake Lively has a beverage brand called Betty Booze. Now, as summers come, the actress has announced the addition of two vodka iced teas: Meyer Lemonade and Passion Fruit.

“I come from a Southern family, so iced tea, especially in the summertime is a staple,” she told PEOPLE.

The actress continued, “Sweet tea, passionfruit tea, tea with fresh lemonade … it all feels like relaxation and peaceful times. Enjoying an iced tea is a feeling as much as an experience to me.”

“Vodka felt like the perfect next addition to our ‘bar’ lineup because of its subtle and popular flavor,” the entrepreneur said about the brand, which was launched in 2021. 

It was called Betty Buzz at the time and had sparkling mixers initially. But later, tequila and bourbon canned cocktails were added, calling the spirit “an ideal backdrop to both of our yummy new teas.”

On the other hand, the It Ends With Us star said, “I usually think of a barbecue or summer hang outside, even if it’s just with one family member."

Blake further said her brand's drink has been billed to share by friends. “Any time you’d have iced tea or an Arnold Palmer with alcohol is the time you’d have this."

"At a party, dinner at home, at a restaurant, wherever is natural to you. I like seeing friends try both and swapping with each other back and forth as they drink. That’s how you know they’re close," she concluded.
