Are you a Taylor, Beyonce or Blake when it comes to your cocktail choice?

OF course we’ve seen Taylor necking beers with her man Travis Kelce, but when she’s with the girls, apparently it’s a French Blonde she’s ordering.

So, if you’re still celebrating the launch of The Tortured Poets Department or gearing up to see your icon in concert, this is the only cocktail to be seen with.

A classic French Blonde is a delicious mix of gin, elderflower liqueur and grapefruit juice – AKA the perfect flavours for spring/summer.

But if that’s not your jam, maybe you’re more of a Beyonce – think woody, husky whiskey drinks straight outta Texas.

Or channel Blake Lively’s fresh-faced vibe with a zesty, simple little number using one of her own Betty Buzz drink products – and skip the gin if you’re off booze.

Girls, we’ve got you covered this Friday night, so whack on your new fave soundtrack and Shake It (the week) Off…
