Fans Are Pissed That Blake Lively Released A Spiked Seltzer Line
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Drinking might not be Blake Lively's "thing," but the Betty Buzz founder is expanding her lineup of non-alcoholic mixers to include spiked seltzer too. Only, not everyone is thrilled with the launch.
On Thursday, Lively took to Instagram with the news of her latest venture, telling fans, "Drinking isn't my thing. But for f* sake, flavor is. Homemade recipe. Real fruit. Real ingredients. Quality booze. No crap. Also a real time saver. Which is why I really did it."
The Simple Favor star has long been an advocate for sober living—despite her own husband Ryan Reynolds' half a billion dollar gin business. However, Betty Buzz has long been branded as a mixer, be it for non-alcoholic mocktails or Aviation Gin cocktails.
"When it comes to quality, we're absolutely uncompromising. Whether it's Buzz or Booze, everything we make is real and delicious," Co-Founder and Chairman of Betty B Holdings Andrew T. Chrisomalis said in a press release. "The early success of Betty Buzz proved people expect more from what they drink. And we're going to be the beverage company to serve it to them."
Fans were quick to call out Lively for her foray into the liquor aisle.
"How can you market/create a product you don’t openly consume yourself? 😂 come the f on now.." one user wrote.
Another chimed in, writing, "If drinking really isn't your thing (which you're very vocal about) how about some NA options? Otherwise you're just in it for the money."
A third Instagrammer said, "What a confusing way to promote your alcohol, by saying drinking isn’t your thing…"
Blake's supermodel bestie Gigi Hadid was quick to come to her defense in the comments, writing, "Drinking ain’t your thing but when u make a drink for someone else, best bet they’re having a good time (me, I’m someone else)."
