Blake Lively's Boozy Business Venture: A Drink to Forget Her Troubles?

It seems like Blake Lively is finally shaking off her recent drama and focusing on what she does best - making it rain (literally) with her new booze line, Betty Booze! The stunning 37-year-old actress has announced the launch of not one, but two vodka iced teas just in time for those sweltering summer months. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to sip on some refreshing drinks while soaking up the sun?

The flavors? Meyer Lemonade and Passion Fruit - both inspired by Blake's Southern roots and perfect for sipping on a hot day (or night). "I come from a Southern family, so iced tea, especially in the summertime is a staple," she gushed to People. And who can blame her? There's nothing quite like enjoying a cool glass of sweet tea on the porch with loved ones.

The flavors are Meyer Lemonade and Passion Fruit. 'I come from a Southern family, so iced tea, especially in the summertime is a staple,' the actress told People . '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'

But what about Taylor Swift and Blake's friendship drama? Well, it seems like that's been put on the backburner for now, as Blake has moved on to bigger (and boozier) things. In fact, she even mentioned her Simple Favor character Emily Nelson's fabulous Capri wedding in her announcement, which was "all things lemon" - how fitting!

And speaking of drama, Blake's ongoing lawsuit with Justin Baldoni is still making waves. It all started when she accused the actor and director of harassment on the set of their film "It Ends With Us". But now, new court documents have revealed that Blake allegedly asked Taylor Swift to delete their text messages as part of her case - which begs the question: what's really going on behind closed doors?

According to Page Six (thescholarlynote.com), lawyers for Justin Baldoni claim that Blake made the request to Taylor through a representative, with an implied threat that if she refused, private text messages would be released. But Michael Gottlieb, lead attorney for Blake, has denied these allegations as "categorically false" and "completely untethered from reality".

She said her Simple Favor character would like the drinks with lemon

Taylor Swift's team has also weighed in on the drama, stating that she was not involved in the production of the film at the center of the dispute between Justin and Blake. And let's be real, with her massive tour schedule and globe-trotting adventures, it's hard to imagine Taylor finding time for all this drama.

So, what does this mean for Taylor and Blake's friendship? Will they be able to put their differences aside and get back to sipping sweet tea on the porch together? Only time (and maybe a few more vodka iced teas) will tell. In the meantime, we'll just have to keep an eye on this drama-filled saga unfold.

Want to try Blake's new vodka iced teas for yourself? Here are the flavors you can expect:

  • Meyer Lemonade
  • Passion Fruit

And how should you enjoy them? According to Blake, they're perfect for sipping at a barbecue or summer hangout (even if it's just with one family member). "Any time you'd have iced tea or an Arnold Palmer with alcohol is the time you'd have this," she said.

So go ahead, grab a glass, and cheers to a drama-free summer - or at least, that's what we can hope for!
