Sleyenda's Flawless, But Beyoncé Isn't Feeling It

The caution was merited, as it turns out, but still not enough. Even though Beyoncé’s name no longer appears in any promotional language for the pop-up that we were able to find, Queen Bey slapped the bar with a cease-and-desist order. Her legal team got in formation and sent a charming yet threatening letter, which read in part, “It appears that you are a dedicated fan of Mrs. Carter, and for that support, Mrs. Carter thanks you.” But it goes on to basically say that the bar crossed the line in using her name and image in any way, and they need to knock it off.
That time we got a cease and desist from the queen bee herself. 🐝🐝🐝 but we will still be going strong with #Sleyenda though all the way through the 27th! Of course, we’re celebrating ALL of those who slay, simply inspired by Bey’s #lemonade words. And! We’re continuing in the new year! In January we will be choosing a charity a week to donate proceeds of a special cocktail to that goes to support women, their health and their success. More details to follow. #slayallday

Whatever. We thought it was a great idea. Sleyenda’s not irreplaceable—the bar turns back into Leyenda in a little over a week, regardless. But you’ve still got several days in which to hit up the pop-up; it runs through December 27.
