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.

Clarks has become a staple footwear since its start in 1825 as a family-founded slipper company. Over time, they expanded beyond the cozy slip-on, developing the first foot-shaped shoes and making a name as a brand that crafts comfortable footwear that’s also fashion-forward.

It doesn’t take too much digging to find Oasis lead singer Liam Gallagher wearing a pair of Clarks Desert Boots. Throughout the ’90s, he could be seen pairing most of his outfits, on and offstage, with a pair of the boots — most notably when he won a Brit Award in 1996 for best album and on the street in 2020. Bob Dylan is another artist who could be seen wearing the simple boots, in addition to The Beatles, who were known to wear the shoes at times.
Desert Boots’ popularity spans across countries, at one point taking over Jamaican fashion, according to reporting by Vogue. The shoes became a major staple in reggae clubs, and the growth in sales led Clarks to redesign the shoe with a longer, narrow toe in an effort to cater to Caribbean style.

Desert Boot – Dark Khaki Suede
Rather than reach for your typical white sneakers, these dark brown boots bring a polished look using a luxurious suede material and matching upper and sole shade. Originally released in the ’50s, the style remains a popular pick and is topped off with “unfussy” laces.
Clarks
Desert Boot – Sand Suede
Not only can you see Gallagher wearing a similar shade of the Desert Boot, but the light brown colorway can be paired with everything from jeans to trousers without taking away from your statement shirt. The outer suede material brings a polished yet laid-back look that’ll help complete your outfits in style.
Clarks
Desert Boot – Black Polished
Giving off a more dressed up appearance is the Black Polished version of the Clarks boot. It comes with a premium leather material for added comfort and durability. You’ll also find the classic fobs by the laces as well as a rubber crepe sole for additional support.
Clarks
Desert Boot – Black Distressed Croc
Clarks’ latest iteration of the Desert Boot is a distressed croc style that represents the brand’s shift towards more modern designs. Taking inspiration from Tokyo’s Urahara fashion scene, the shoe comes in the classic Desert Boot shape with an elevated twist. The upper comes with a distressed leather material paired with flat lacing and the classic crepe sole found in any of the Originals shoes.
Beyond the Desert Boot, Clarks Wallabees have become the shoe to sport in hip-hop, with artists including Tyler, the Creator, Drake and the Wu-Tang Clan seen sporting the everyday shoe on various occasions. The love for the style goes beyond being seen on rapper’s feet, which you can hear in Wu-Tang’s “Gravel Pit” when Method Man raps: “The best thing since stocks in Clark Wallabees.”
