 “Spooky season that’s upfront,” she said of her holiday plans. “Next is Thanksgiving with my in-laws because that’s not a [holiday] in Barbados and Christmas is a very big thing for us so we’re going to do it up.” When questioning about using “in-laws” to describe her partner, A$AP Rocky’s, parents Rihanna replied, “That’s my family for life, regardless.”

Cheers to Beyoncé! SirDavis American Rye Whisky became available online and in select stores on Wednesday (Sept. 4), coinciding with Queen Bey’s 43rd birthday.

The release marks a new chapter for the multi-platinum selling singer who in the last two years, gave us Renaissance and Cowboy Carter, embarked on a world tour with merch to match, debuted the Renaissance tour film and introduced the world to Cécred — all before revealing her latest venture.

Trending on Billboard

In classic Beyoncé form, the announcement of SirDavis Whisky surprised most fans, but the Houston native may have dropped an Easter egg on the Cowboy Carter track “II Hands to Heaven” where she sings: “Bottle in my hand, the whiskey up high.”

To celebrate Queen Bey’s birthday, I secured an advance tasting of SirDavis Whisky and whipped up four of the signature cocktails (yes, they’re easy to make and cute to look at).

Keep reading for details on SirDavis and a step-by-step cocktail hour, Beyoncé-style.

The Hidden History of SirDavis Whisky: An Ode to Black Distillers

The story of SirDavis Whisky begins with Beyoncé’s paternal great-grandfather, Davis Hogue. According to online records, Hogue was born in Alabama around 1871. Online records show that Hogue was married with approximately six children, one of whom was Beyoncé’s paternal grandmother, Lou Helen Knowles. U.S. Census records indicate that Hodge was a farmer, but he was also a moonshiner, as Beyoncé revealed last month.

“When I discovered that my great-grandfather had been a moonshine man, it felt like my love for whisky was fated,” she explained. “SirDavis is a way for me to pay homage to him, uniting us through a new shared legacy.”

Though whisky has its American roots in Tennessee, it has a long and complicated history with Alabama. The state outlawed alcohol in the early 1900s, nearly a decade before federal prohibition laws went into place. For a century, whisky was illegal in Alabama making it even harder for Black distillers like Beyoncé’s grandfather to make it without risking arrest.

It took 100 years, but Alabama’s first legally distilled whisky was finally released in 2015. SirDavis Whisky however is headquartered in Beyoncé’s hometown of Houston highlighting both her family’s Alabama and Texas ancestry in one bottle.

SirDavis American Rye Whisky

Housed in a beautiful, ribbed glass bottle, SirDavis offers a nod to Texas in the form of a golden horse centered on the front. The recipe blends a “distinctive grain selection of 51 percent rye and a 49 percent malted barley” matured in sherry casks similar to the way Japanese and Scotch whiskies are made.

Although I’m far from a connoisseur, I’ve attended my share of tastings and can appreciate a nice, smooth rye whisky. Per the product description, SirDavis offers a “rich and buttery toffee flavor” which I can attest to, along with hints of honey, cinnamon and clove, a subtle but lingering taste of cherries with a dash of spice that dances on the palette.

See below for directions on how to make SirDavis cocktails.

A Step-by-Step Guide to SirDavis Cocktails

Based on the packaging alone, SirDavis was made to stand out. The 88-proof whisky from Beyoncé and Moët Hennessy, mingles well with fruity cocktails, pairs perfectly with lemon and it’s smooth enough to enjoy by itself (I would recommend sipping slowly though, SirDavis packs a punch).

Following along with the recipes on the brand’s website, I made four cocktails including the Honey Bee, Hot Toddy, Mint Julep and The Houston.

To complete the vintage vibe of the bottle, I used these ribbed cocktail glasses and glass coffee mugs from Amazon and a couple of cocktail glasses from my own collection. The cocktail ingredients are available at just about any grocery store, but I purchased everything on Amazon Fresh including vermouth, blackberries, honey, lemon juice, cocktail sticks and garnish. The Hot Toddy needs just a handful of ingredients: SirDavis Whisky, hot water, lemon juice, honey and Angostura aromatic bitters.

The Houston is made with two ounces of whisky, an ounce of sweet vermouth, a quarter ounce of honey syrup and two dashes of Angostura bitters. The Mint Julep mixes pressed blackberries, fresh mint leaves and honey syrup with lots of crushed ice.

SirDavis Whisky Cocktails

My favorite of the four? The Honey Bee takes gets a gold medal from me, but not because it’s one of the easiest drinks to make with the least ingredients. The acidity of the lemon perfectly balances the whisky without overpowering the cocktail.

Ingredients:

2 oz. SirDavis American Whisky  

.75 oz. Lemon Juice

.5 oz. Honey Syrup

Garnish: Honeycomb 

Honey syrup is a main ingredient in several SirDavis cocktails, and it’s easy to make: add two parts honey and one part water into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the honey is dissolved and let it cool before transferring it into an airtight container.

To make your Honey Bee, add the liquid ingredients to a tin cocktail shaker (add ice last). Shake and pour into a glass and garnish with honeycomb (or lemon wedge as I did).

Although Usher didn’t attend the grand opening (he’s currently on tour), the celebration included a drone show put together by Sky Elements. Usher owns the restaurant along with his franchise partners Lawrence Kourie and Andrew Feghali, two of the longest-tenured Dave’s Hot Chicken franchisees.

“Once I tried Dave’s Hot Chicken and spoke with the founders of the brand, I knew I wanted to be involved with the company,” Usher said in a statement. “I’m excited to open Atlanta’s first Dave’s Hot Chicken and look forward to everyone from my hometown trying it.”

“Dave’s Hot Chicken continues to gain traction from coast-to-coast, from our passionate guests to international superstars,” added CEO Bill Phelps. “Our focus remains on making the most craveable, hottest and juiciest hot chicken on the planet, and we’re thrilled to partner with Usher to bring Dave’s to Georgia.”

The grand opening featured a live DJ and free food. Dave’s Hot Chicken’s menu includes Hot Chicken Sliders and Hot Chicken Tenders available in seven spice levels ranging from no spice to Reaper, the hottest level, in addition to Kale Slaw, creamy macaroni and cheese and crispy, seasoned crinkle fries. The brand also recently launched Dave’s Bites available in no spice, medium and hot.

Dave’s Hot Chicken is available for delivery on DoorDash, GrubHub and Uber Eats.

“The number one thing is the chicken is so good,” Dave’s Hot Chicken president Jim Bitticks told Billboard at the grand opening. “And the spice, it’s I don’t know how to describe it, other than to say that it’s really balanced. Sometimes you try something that’s spicy and there’s too much of this or not enough of that. [Dave’s Hot Chicken] it’s perfect, right in the middle.”

“The founders grew up eating a lot of In-N-Out Burger, so the inspiration for Dave’s is In-N-Out meets Howlin Rays [Hot Chicken],” Bitticks continued.

Dave’s co-founder Arman Oganesyan was also in attendance alongside Phelps and Conyers Store Owner Lawrence Kourie.

Meanwhile, it’s been a busy month for Usher who launched his Past, Present and Future tour in Washington D.C. last week. The tour stops in Philadelphia tonight and tomorrow, followed by two nights in Toronto, Canada starting on Sept. 2.
