Lively named her beverage company with her loved ones in mind. “My dad’s name was Ernest Brown Jr. but he was known as Ernie Lively. He gave up his last name when he married my mom and any success he, or I, have experienced has been in a name that isn’t his,” she said in a press release when the non-alcoholic mixerslaunched in 2021.
“So when I was working hard to build this company, I wanted any success to be in a name that was meaningful to him. Betty was his mom and his sister’s name. Also, Ernie would not be the best name for a mixer,” Lively admitted before explaining the inspiration behind the fizzy flavors.

“I don’t drink. I know that’s odd coming from the wife of an infamous gin slinger. Over the past many years of mixing but not drinking cocktails, it became clear mixers are the unsung heroes of the drink world and deserve just as much love as alcohol,” Lively explained. “We’ve spent the last three years craftingBetty Buzzand are so excited for people to finally taste it.”
By 2023, the mother of four decided it was time to add a bit of alcohol to the mix.
“These are the recipes I’ve been making for loved ones for years.But I have 4 kids now. And I’m tired. So here they are in a can. Enjoy. Responsibly…ish,“Lively announced in Junewhen she unveiled her latest project — Betty Booz, or as she calls it, the “sister to Betty Buzz.”
“Drinking isn’t my thing. But for f* sake, flavor is. Homemade recipes. Real fruit. Real ingredients. Quality booze. No crap. Also a real time saver. Which is why I really did it. @bettybooze,” she captioned an Instagram photo showing off the new line.
