<\/p>\n

We never thought a Blake Lively and Paul Hollywood collab was on the cards, but here we are. <\/p>\n

The Great British Bake Off bread whiz, 57, and the 36-year-old Gossip Girl star are a, erm, unexpected duo. She\u2019s Hollywood royalty, and he\u2019s\u2026 Paul Hollywood. <\/p>\n

Sorry Paul, as you are somewhat of a national baking treasure. Jokes aside, the pair teamed up in an advert for Blake\u2019s gormet fizzy mixer brand Betty Booze. <\/p>\n

The actor founded the alcohol line \u2013 which promises pairings of the \u2018freshest fruits, spices, herbs and more with real spirits and just the right amount of bubbles to create unmatched, unmistakably delicious drinks\u2019 \u2013 recently, and now it looks as though she\u2019s taking aim at the UK market. <\/p>\n

Who better to test out her new fizzy concoctions than the voice of British culinary reason himself? <\/p>\n

Playing on Paul\u2019s famous Great British Bake Off handshake, which he bestows only on the most deserving contestants of the Channel 4 show, Blake is seen nervously showing the TV chef her product. <\/p>\n

\u2018Do you like it?\u2019 asks a timid Blake after barging into Paul\u2019s house with a basket of drinks demanding his professional opinion. <\/p>\n

Taking a swig, Paul looks up at the US star with those piercing wolf eyes and says four words to end all four words: \u2018I really like it.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\u2018Yeah?\u2019 smiles Blake with a huge sigh of relief. <\/p>\n

\u2018It is absolutely beautiful,\u2019 he continues. \u2018I think really good. The tang, the balance with the ginger, it\u2019s spot on.\u2019 <\/p>\n

But before Blake can get over such complimentary words from the most critical Bake Off judge, he pulls out his hand, apparently poised for the legendary Hollywood handshake. <\/p>\n

Someone has clearly been watching Bake Off in her Welsh pad in between husband Ryan Reynolds\u2019 Wrexham AFC matches, because Blake looks down in awe as Paul\u2019s outstretched hand glows up biblically. <\/p>\n

But unfortunately for Blake, he continues past her and instead of offering his hand goes in for another can. We suppose that\u2019s good enough of a compliment. <\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s so easy to grab and go,\u2019 he commented. <\/p>\n

Blake captioned the post as she wrote: \u2018Finally made it in Hollywood. @bettybooze @paul.hollywood happy birthday to me \ud83c\udf81.\u2019 <\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

It is indeed the star\u2019s birthday today, and we\u2019re kind of shocked at the contents of her birthday post. We just weren\u2019t expecting this.<\/p>\n

All Blake\u2019s mates were loving the little promo clip, as model Gigi Hadid wrote: \u2018U da best \ud83c\udf82\u2019 <\/p>\n

Paul commented with a playful: \u2018You cake my day on your special day @blakelively \ud83e\udd1d @bettybooze.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Hugh Jackman said: \u2018The (non)handshake is everything. Happy birthday to my friend Miss @bettybooze.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Husband Ryan was loving the clip, as he commented with three love heart smiling emoji. <\/p>\n

But it appears Blake initially made a boo-boo as some suggested she\u2019d tagged the wrong Paul in her post before changing it. <\/p>\n

\u2018This guy @paulhollywood just got a notification from Blake Lively\u2026 wonders why his phone is blowing up \ud83d\ude06 #wrongpaul,\u2019 one said. <\/p>\n

Whatever next\u2026 <\/p>\n

Does Blake Lively drink? <\/h2>\n

Some people are wondering why Blake mentions in the video for Betty Booze that she doesn\u2019t drink (but eats alcohol in various desserts). <\/p>\n

Blake does not drink, as she once told TODAY.com: \u2018I don\u2019t drink\u00a0because I don\u2019t like the effects of alcohol, but I like being social.\u2019 <\/p>\n

The star said this during a mixology class celebrating the launch of her alcohol-free mixers in 2021, Betty Buzz. She has now launched another line, Betty Booze, which are alcoholic mixers. <\/p>\n

On announcing the launch in June, Blake faced some backlash from fans for the move considering she doesn\u2019t drink herself. <\/p>\n

\u2018Drinking isn\u2019t my thing. But for f* sake, flavour is,\u2019 she wrote in the caption of the announcement. \u2018Homemade recipes. Real fruit. Real ingredients. Quality booze. No crap. Also a real time saver. Which is why I really did it.\u2019<\/p>\n

In another promotional post, Blake claimed that \u2018zero alcohol\u2019 Betty Buzz is \u2018good for all ages and preferences,\u2019 and Betty Booze is \u2018for those who want the alcohol because that\u2019s what hosts do\u2019.<\/p>\n
