Happy Beyoncé Day!
Any self-respecting member of the Bey Hive already knows that September 4 is Beyoncé’s birthday. The number four holds significant meaning for Bey—her husband Jay-Z’s birthday is December 4, their wedding anniversary is April 4, and Blue Ivy’s middle name, Ivy, is a nod to the Roman numeral for four (IV)—making her milestone 44th birthday all the more special!
Fresh off of her record-breaking Cowboy Carter Tour, our generation’s greatest performer is probably off on vacation, enjoying some much-needed rest with her family—just like she was on her 43rd birthday.
When she’s on vacation, you can bet on seeing Bey with a glass of SirDavis American Whisky in hand. You can celebrate Beyoncé’s birthday just like the queen herself with a few signature cocktail recipes from the brand, raising a glass in honor of the icon’s birthday.
