Blake Lively‘s citrus drink, which she shared in a video with Vogue, substitutes water, sugar, lemon juice and ice for other specialty ingredients.

‘I’m in a house with people of all ages, all different preferences, so it’s easy if you just make a base and then kind of modify people’s preferences,’ Lively shares as she fills a pitcher with ice.

To make her version, she starts by pouring in her Betty Buzz’s Meyer Lemon Club soda, to which she adds ‘the secret ingredients’: bourbon vanilla extract, butter extract and bourbon smoked sugar. These ingredients enhance the sweetness with rich, buttery flavors,’ she explains.

The ‘It Ends with Us’ star then squeezes in large quantities of lemon, integrating orange juice into the mix to bring in large doses of antioxidants and vitamin C. The lemonade in question can be served as is, in a natural way, or give it that spirituous touch as Lively does by adding tequila or bourbon.
