Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard that superstar Blake Lively launched a non-alcoholic drink company. Typically when a celebrity attaches their name to a product, the usual questions come up. Is it worth the hype or is it just another celebrity using their fame and following to sell? TLDR? Skip to the rating.
When I first found out about Betty Buzz, I had mixed feelings. I’m not one to love celebrity products, as they’re generally not always the best quality – what you’re paying for is their name. However, I decided to give it a try anyways, especially after reading more about why she started the company – more on that later.
Dealcoholization process
Unlike dealcoholized wine, or spirits, Betty Buzz is what I would categorize as a Premade Potable. They start with water, or juice and with a combination of other ingredients, transform into a drink that can be enjoyed on its own or mixed with non alcoholic beverages. Since there is no alcohol in the product to begin with, there is no dealcoholization process.
TLDR: There is none.
Betty Buzz First Impressions
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.
We spent over three years crafting Betty Buzz and are so excited for people to finally taste it.

The first box I ordered was a mix of the Meyer Lemon Club Soda, Sparkling Grapefruit, and Sparkling Lemon Lime. It was the fastest way for me to try most of the flavors I normally enjoy. First impressions? It’s goooood. The delivery was quick; the packaging was beautiful. I love the thought she put into everything. From the bottle design to the exterior box, no detail was too small.
What does Betty Buzz Sparkling Grapefruit taste like?
Delivers a tangy, lightly sweet and fresh citrus hit with 24% real Pink Grapefruit juice.
The Betty buzz sparkling grapefruit really tastes like grapefruit with a touch of sugar and very fizzy water. What makes this so much better than Ruby Red is the subtle bitterness that you get from fresh grapefruit juice – this makes it taste authentic. The bubbles and real fruit taste are a perfect balance – not too sweet, and perfectly flavorful. You really could enjoy this on its own, or mixed with another non-alcoholic drink.
Betty Buzz Sparkling Grapefruit Review and Rating
The Sparkling Grapefruit gets a deserved 5 sips!
The subtle bite of the drink gives it an edge over any other grapefruit drink I’ve had. The bubbles are also just fancy enough that it doesn’t make me feel like I’m just drinking juice. This is my second favorite flavor from Betty Buzz. They definitely got it right with this one! I’m interested in seeing what other mixed non-alcoholic drinks we can create using this as the base.
