After Beyoncé dropped “Lemonade” last weekend, an explosion of think-pieces, criticisms, and Bey-hive witch hunts detonated. We were given so many metaphors to pore over and read into, but in all the hubbub we were given something else, something important, that was easy to overlook: literal lemonade. There is nothing remotely basic about Beyonce, but the lemonade recipe she shared on the visual album was gloriously simple: her grandmother Agnez Dereon’s recipe for the golden beverage is a classic staple. We may never know who Becky with the Good Hair is, but we now hold the key to one of the Knowles family treasures — ok maybe that’s an exaggeration, but it’s certainly the quickest and cheapest way to have a shared experience with Queen Bey. We decided to test it out … and while we were at it, we couldn’t stop ourselves from BKTXing it up a bit. There are a lot of food references throughout all of “Lemonade,” particularly in “Formation,” so we decided to take the hot sauce out of our bags and sip our Cuervo, not with a chaser, but mixed into our Spicy Pink Watermelon Lemonade.
