Blake Lively is preparing to host an exclusive happy hour at NYCWFF. The actress has invited all her fans to The Betty BOOze Harvest Happy Hour at the Lawn Club at the South Street Seaport, where she will serve her award-winning cocktail recipes. The fall party would have everything to lure in fans- including classic lawn games, gourmet cocktails that sparkle, and an electrifying DJ. Lively’s alcoholic beverage line, Betty Booze, had also led to quite a bit of backlash for the Gossip Girl alum.

Blake Lively has long pushed the idea of her being a non-drinker. Therefore, her launching Betty Booze came as a huge surprise to fans, who were confused over how someone could market or create a product without openly consuming it themselves. Nonetheless, despite all the criticism and storms of discontent, her smart husband, Ryan Reynolds, is here to save the day.
