Get ready for happy hour with Billboard’s Tetris Kelly and bartender friend Rachel Hale as they guide you through making three signature Beyoncé whiskey-inspired cocktails. Join them step-by-step to create a smooth and delicious drink.
In this Billboard’ SirDavis Cocktails Recipes video, you’ll learn how to make three Beyoncé-inspired cocktails, including the honey bee, the SirDavis old fashion, and the whiskey lemonade. “We are going to start with the cocktail that is named after the Queen Bee herself, the honey bee,” Hale said. The honey bee is started off with two ounces of the Sir Davis whiskey, three quarters of fresh lemon juice, and half an ounce of house made honey syrup. Then, add some ice, get a cocktail shaker to shake up your drink, use your strainer, and pour it on your favorite ribbed cocktail glass. Twist a slice of lemon peel and garnish the rim of your glass for an added burst of flavor.
The next Beyoncé-inspired cocktail featured in the video is the SirDavis Old Fashion Cocktail. In this drink, you’ll also add two ounces of the SirDavis Whisky and your honey syrup. Unlike the first drink, this one includes two dashes of Angostura Bitters. You can add some ice, mix it up with a stainless steel cocktail spoon, pour it into your favorite glass coffee mug, and you can garnish this one with an orange peel. You can also drop the orange peel into your drink. According to Hale, the bitters add some spice. “It’s a concentrated alcohol,” she said.
Finally, you’ll be making the whiskey lemonade cocktail. This one also includes two ounces of the SirDavis Whisky. “This will probably be the easiest one because we’re going right into our glass,” Hale said. There is also no shaker needed for this one. Add four ounces of freshly squeezed lemonade. Yes, if you’re a part of the beehive member, this one is completely on brand. You can play Beyonce’s Lemonade studio album while making this one. Then, add a little splash of your favorite honey syrup and stir it up.
What are you waiting for? Make one or more of these Beyoncé-inspired cocktails to your list and celebrate the end of a long work week.

From meeting on The Voice to saying “I do” and beyond.
Selena Gomez got quadruple the amount of maternal love recently when the 32-year-old superstar stopped by the set of Glamour‘s Women of the Year cover shoot to greet the mothers of Travis Kelce, Beyoncé and Billie Eilish.
Posted Thursday (Oct. 3), the clip finds Gomez entering the shoot and walking directly to her own mom, Mandy Teefey — who posed on the front of Glamour‘s latest issue with Donna Kelce, Tina Knowles and Maggie Baird, the respective mothers of the aforementioned stars — and wrapping her in a big hug.
“Hi mom, good job!” says the Only Murders in the Building star and executive producer, dressed in head-to-toe black. “You look beautiful.”
Trending on Billboard
Gomez then moves on to give Donna — who’s already well acquainted with the Rare Beauty founder’s best friend, Taylor Swift — a hug as well. “It’s nice to meet you,” she says before embracing Knowles, whom Gomez tells, “You look beautiful.”
Finally, the “Lose You to Love Me” singer moves on to hug Baird. “It’s so good to see you,” she says, picking up a lock of the Support + Feed co-founder’s silver hair. “I love your hair.”
In the publication’s cover story featuring the four women, it is revealed that Gomez had been right next door at a nearby studio shooting a campaign for her beauty business. During their own shoot, Teefey, Donna, Knowles and Baird opened up about their experiences raising superstar children, with the Wondermind co-founder and Cécred chairwoman especially finding common ground when it came to making sure that Gomez and Bey didn’t become divas despite getting famous as teenagers.
While on the topic, Teefey recalled one particular moment during which she drew the line with Gomez. “She was getting out of the trailer, and there was an umbrella, and they were holding it for her, and then they were bringing her food and all this stuff,” the producer told the other three moms. “I was like, ‘She can hold her own umbrella.’ She needs to learn how to pump her own gas in her car. She needs to be a person first.”

“I’ve always believed that travel is a magical experience, and collaborating with Wicked allowed us to really lean into that idea. Creating pieces that add a bit of magic to every journey,” Béis founder Shay Mitchell said in a statement announcing the collaboration on Wednesday (Oct. 2).
Trending on Billboard
The Béis x Wicked collection, launching on Oct. 9 at 9 a.m. PT via the brand’s website, features four new silhouettes — the Wicked Weekender, Wicked Tote bags, a Wicked Backpack and Wicked Toiletry Kit — available in a Wicked-inspired green, pink with an iridescent, ombre finish. There’s also a classic black colorway.
Priced from $68-$378, the collection includes two bubble-inspired editions of Béis bestselling Rollers in an ombre finish, a new key leash, card wallet, a mirror and removeable Wicked-themed charms.
Wicked, a silver-screen adaptation of the hit musical, stars Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Yao, Jonathan Bailey, Peter Dinklage and Jeff Goldblum. The film, directed by Jon M. Chu, shares the story of how Glinda the Good Witch and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, became unlikely friends.
“We wanted to pay homage to the gorgeous Glindas who have come before me while also creating our own version,” Grande said of the character in a Vogue interview last month.
“My pop persona is such a characterized version on its own. Beauty really helped me deconstruct that person and find Glinda. I just wanted to live in the DNA and mindset of the character. Now I love the color pink and it feels like part of me. I think it’s something I’ll be forever intertwined with in a very special way.”
Before the film hits theaters on Nov. 22, Wicked fans can shop movie-inspired merch such as the Wicked x r.e.m. beauty collection, Wicked x Opi, Wicked x H&M, Wicked Lego sets, Wicked dolls, Wicked: The Game and Wicked Funko Pop! figurines.

Holiday travel starts soon, and it’s expected to be a busier travel season than in previous years. According to a Marketwatch survey, more than 52% of adults plan to fly over the holidays, but skyrocketing ticket prices, the potential of massive flight cancellations (who can forget about last year’s travel nightmare?) and unreasonably long lines at the airport, traveling by plane can be especially stressful during the holidays. Thankfully, there’s another travel option that lets enjoy the luxuries of a private jet at a fraction of the cost.

Meet Aero, a semi-private plane with style. The brainchild of Uber co-founder Garrett Camp, Aero was originally founded as a software platform for booking jets but transitioned into the “Uber of private jets,” according to the company website.
Trending on Billboard
Based in Los Angeles, Aero is run by a “seasoned team” of experts in aviation, hospitality and luxury marketing. Areo jets seat up to 16 passengers and pets are welcome aboard.
Aero
“Aero offers a level of service and discretion that is unique in the semi-private space,” Aero CEO Ben Klein tells Billboard. “From our private terminal at Van Nuys Airport, which is separate from the main FBOs on the field and only open to Aero guests, to our jets, which are configured with 16, first-class forward-facing seats, we are able to provide a level of privacy that is on par with chartering your jet. Our jets have become particularly popular with music tours charters because of the ability for 16 people to have their own forward-facing seat (as opposed to being stuck on a sofa), our high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi, and the largest luggage hold in the private jet space, which allows for a lot of bags and equipment.”
According to Klein, musicians and other celebrities “love flying Aero because of our level of service and discretion” in comparison to air travel options. “In addition to our scheduled flights to Cabo, Aspen, Sun Valley, and now Napa, our charter business is also very popular – especially for music tours.”
Aero prioritizes guests’ privacy, so while the company couldn’t divulge the recording stars that have chartered flights, Busta Rhymes and Tommy Lee are a couple of artists who have posted about Aero on social media.
Over the summer, Aero invited me and other reporters on a flight experience from Los Angeles to Napa to preview the company’s new flight route, and partnership with Stanly Ranch and Solage of Auberge Resorts Collection. The day trip included in-flight wine tasting and snacks from Erewhon (an L.A. market that went viral for its Hailey Bieber smoothie).
Aero
From Sept. 20 until November, Aero will offer flights between L.A. and Napa. Tickets start at $725 one way. Aero has partnered with Solage, Auberge Resorts Collection and Stanly Ranch, to offer travelers a quick flight to the wine country.
“Our community has expressed interest in visiting Napa, and we’ve worked hard to make their dream a reality, just in time for the harvest season,” Klein said in a news release announcing the new flights in August. “Landing next to downtown Napa just over an hour after departing Los Angeles on a scheduled flight is extremely rare. Typically, this is only possible by flying private. Aero’s new service to wine country is just one example of our strategic approach to growth in 2024: we’re listening to feedback from the market and responding with innovative solutions. Guests can now fly to difficult-to-reach premier leisure destinations during peak seasonal time frames.”
