This week was a big one for Beyoncé, who finally won a well deserved and long overdue Grammy for Album of the Year. Honoring 2024’s Cowboy Carter, which also won Best Country Album, Beyoncé appeared on stage with her daughter Blue Ivy to accept the award, and has been roundly celebrated by fellow Grammy attendees and fans around the world for her beloved album.

In a nod to all things Queen Bey, the new outpost of the celebrated New York cocktail bar Dear Irving on Broadway has come up with a drink featuring her own SirDavis whisky,  created by Bar Director and Beyoncé lover Meaghan Dorman. Named The Victor Was Written, the cocktail features bourbon, honey, and unsuual pecan & chicory bitters as well as the rye whisky. It has some classy additions too, like a touch of salt in the honey for balance and a honeycomb square for a garnish which will appeal to any Beyoncé fans in the know.

Make easy drinks for the Super Bowl with this batched spicy margarita recipe
Kick back and enjoy the game by pre-batching your drinks
21Seeds

When it comes to hosting a party, if you want to be serious about your cocktails then you can easily spend all night running back and forth to the kitchen as you select ingredients, wash up glasses, mix drinks, make garnishes, and more. And while that can be fun sometimes, as hosting a cocktail party is a joy of its own, it's not what you want to be doing when you're trying to enjoy the Super Bowl with your buddies. If you're planning a Big Game party, you're far better off planning out your drinks in advance and doing as much of the preparation as you can before the guests arrive. That way, you can focus on the sports instead of refilling glasses all night.

There are some considerations in how to batch up cocktails in advance though. The act of shaking or stirring a drink with ice is an important step to both chill the drink and dilute it to enhance its flavors. If you just take a cocktail recipe and put it in the fridge, it will taste unbalanced. So this spicy margarita recipe includes water to make sure it tastes just right, while still being ready to drink whenever you want it.
