There’s one thing we never thought we’d have to question about Dua Lipa: her taste. However, as the singer recently found out, her drink of choice is somewhat controversial, and the internet naturally responded with its trademark wrath and confusion.
Over the weekend, Lipa was visiting Austin, Texas, ahead of a performance at the Austin City Limits Music Festival, where she dined on the local cuisine at La Barbecue. It was then that she decided to share her go-to mixed drink recipe with her TikTok followers.
“Step one, Diet Coke,” she begins in the clip, filling her cup with the soda. She then makes her first surprise addition: pickle juice, with both the pickles and brine poured in straight from a container.
She then adds some more juice from a container of jalapeños, calling it “sauce”. At this point, though, the 29-year-old clocks on to the attention she’s getting from fellow patrons.
“Everyone’s staring at me,” she blushes as she mixes the ingredients together. “The lady in the back is like, ‘What the hell is she doing?’”
As a self-confessed foodie, Lipa then takes a swig of the unorthodox drink and smiles before prompting her friends to try it out for themselves.
“That’s randomly not bad,” says one tablemate. “It’s really pickly,” remarks another. One friend even simply shudders from the tart taste after taking a sip.
“That is…Mmm,” Lipa says, delighting in her creative concoction.
Lipa’s video garnered more than 4.8 million views and thousands of comments — to no one’s surprise.
The video quickly garnered over 4.8 million views, with many fans sharing their revolt at the curious mixture.
“This is the most evil thing I’ve ever watched,” commented one X user, while others were intrigued to try it out.
