Former England Women's goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis, who was born in Burnley, was waiting for the host as she emerged from the Turf Moor tunnel at the start of the programme.
Alex Scott got on the booze early live on Football Focus
She was handed a Burnley 'tradition' right at the start of the show
Scott did not seem to be the biggest fan of the winter warmer
As she stood alongside fellow pundit Dion Dublin, it soon emerged that she had something in her hands, along with the ex-Coventry and Aston Villa man.
Brown-Finnis said: "I have a little welcome, a tradition here at Burnley. At half time, go and have a Benny and Hot."
The trio then grabbed one each and proceeded to drink it as Scott let out a loud "woah" after sinking a sip.
Brown-Finnis then described it as "medicinal" before saying: "That's why we always have colour in our cheeks and a spring in our step."
Rather than finish it off, Scott proceeded to continue with the Football Focus show, but viewers appeared to love her willingness to get amongst it.
One fan tweeted with a thumbs-up emoji: "Alex Scott on the bene 'n hot."
As another commented: "Enjoying #footballfocus with @AlexScott and @DionDublinsDube."
The unofficial matchday drink at Burnley FC for the past century has been "Benny and Hot" - the french liqueur Benedictine topped up with hot water.
And the Burnley miners' club is the biggest consumer of the spirit outside of France.
The love of the drink dates back to the First World War when men in the 11th Battalion of the East Lancashire Regiment were billeted in Normandy.
They discovered the local liqueur and started drinking it as grog with hot water.
It soon became known as "Benny and Hot" and travelled home with the troops.
However, it was not the drink that most viewers were interested in, it was the elegant cream dress sported by Scott that they wanted to know about.
One tweeted her to ask: "Where is your cream dress from?"
And another hailed her as "the Queen of Football Focus".
Scott enjoyed a night out celebrating with fellow England legend Leah Williamson earlier this week after her pal was awarded her OBE by Prince William.
