Mama Knowles is sharing another one of her daughters’ talents with the world.
In promotion of her New York Times best-selling debut memoir The Matriarch, Tina Knowles, 71, sat down with beloved interviewer Scott Evans for his YouTube series, House Guest, where he interviews stars while enjoying complementary food and drinks.
During the beginning of the interview, Knowles gifted Evans with a bottle SirDavis, by Beyoncé, 43, which they opened and added to the peach-flavored sweet tea made by Evans.
After sipping their impromptu cocktails, Knowles said, “I brought a mix that Beyoncé put together, but you can try that later because the tea was really good.”
Stunned, Evans took a moment to let that fact sink in and replied, “We’re going to try the mix that Beyoncé made.”

In the next scene, a pitcher of the Beyoncé-mixed drink appeared. “This is her recipe,” Knowles explained. “She plays around with all this…the juices, and she put jalapeño in it.”
When Evans noted that the drink had a lot of jalapeños, Knowles agreed as she continued to pour, adding, “She’s spicy, what can I say?” The duo then added a half-shot of SirDavis to each other’s glasses, and, to no one’s surprise, the drink was a hit.

“I don’t want to like this as much as I do,” Evans confessed as he continued to sip. As he held up his glass, he pointed to Knowles and said, “I want to say, thank you to you, thank you to Beyoncé, and I want to say thank you God.”
Before segueing into their Creole-inspired dinner, Knowles and Evans toasted to her late brother, Johnny, whom she talks about in detail in The Matriarch and Beyoncé references on the track “Heated” from her 2022 album Renaissance.
Beyoncé’s prowess when it comes to beverages is apparent from the rave reviews SirDavis has received from liquor connoisseurs.

As for her culinary chops, it’s widely known that the legendary superstar is not known for her cooking skills. In more than one interview, the mother of three children, whom she shares with husband JAY-Z, 55, has mentioned that she doesn’t know how to cook, despite attempting to do so many times.
During a November 2008 interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, she confessed to then-talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, 67, that it was the Brooklyn rapper who told her she didn’t need to cook after her first few tries. She recalled, “He actually, after me cooking a couple of times, just said, ‘Don’t do it. It’s okay.’ ”
