Blake Lively recently announced the launch of her own line of non-alcoholic, lower-calorie mixer sparkling mixers with Betty Buzz made from clean ingredients that pair perfectly with any spirit but are also “tasty enough to fly solo”.

“I don’t drink. I know that’s odd coming from the wife of an infamous gin slinger. Over the past many years of mixing but not drinking cocktails, it became clear mixers are the unsung heroes of the drink world and deserve just as much love as alcohol,” said the actress and founder in a press release. “We’ve spent the last three years crafting Betty Buzz and are so excited for people to finally taste it.”

“My dad’s name was Ernest Brown Jr but he was known as Ernie Lively. He gave up his last name when he married my mom and any success he, or I, have experienced has been in a name that isn’t his,” said Lively, on the name ‘Betty’ for the brand.

“When I was working hard to build this company, I wanted any success to be in a name that was meaningful to him. Betty was his mom and his sister’s name. Also, Ernie would not be the best name for a mixer.”

Betty Buzz is available in five buzzing flavours including Tonic Water, Sparkling Grapefruit, Meyer Lemon Club Soda, Sparkling Lemon Lime, and Ginger Beer. The mixers are made with real juice and natural flavours. Each nine-ounce eco-friendly glass bottle can make two cocktails when combined with the spirit of your choice.
