Blake Livelygets romantic in her latest Betty Buzz commercial.
In honor of National Gin & Tonic Day on April 9, the actress and founder of the bubbly mixer company focuses on all the “best duos” like the classic cocktail — but with a twist.
“Ah, the tonic and gin. No better duo since Clyde and Bonnie, Watson and Holmes,” a narrator says.
Wearing a rosy pink skirt dotted with several tiny hearts, Lively cracks open a bottle of Betty Buzz’s tonic water. As the narrator continues listing off iconic pairs, including “cheese and mac, and jelly and peanut butter,” Lively grabs a bottle of her husbandRyan Reynolds’s brand, Aviation Gin, and pours the liquor in a cold glass.
“Yes, my friends, this cocktail is a real Juliet and Romeo love story,” the narrator closes off the spot.
Carbonation from the drink causes it to fizz as Lively looks down, satisfied at the sparkling cup — and the unconventional order of its name.
“Bc we all know who’s a boss…” Lively cheekily shared on her Instagram Story.

This isn’t the first time Reynolds was involved in one of his wife’s beverage company’s ads. In February, the famous couple teamed up for aPuppy Bowl commercialin which Reynolds narrated the spot that spoofed vintage, “rough-and-tough” beer commercials.
In the video, he described the “bold flavor” in a drawl voice while bottles of the fizzy beverage glittered on the screen and white horses galloped in the background.
Lively appeared on screen, wearing a red flannel. Through the grainy screen, viewers saw her unpop the top with her mouth and pour it into a glass.
