Dua Lipa Draws Attention While Creating Spicy Pickle Diet Coke Recipe at Restaurant

While in Austin to perform at the Austin City Limits Music Festival, Dua Lipa captured attention with her unique soda concoction at a local restaurant. The pop star documented her creative mix on TikTok, where she showcased a surprising twist on a classic beverage that intrigued onlookers.

Lipa began her experiment by pouring a can of Diet Coke into a plastic cup. In a surprising move, she added pickle juice to the soda, creating a briny blend. As she funnelled the tangy liquid into her drink, she included whole pickles for an extra kick. “It’s randomly not bad,” one friend remarked, while another noted the strong pickle flavour.

Not everyone was impressed, however, as one friend made a sour face after trying the mix. Lipa’s expression, however, reflected satisfaction as she tasted her pickle-jalapeño Diet Coke. “That is,” she said, trailing off with a look of enjoyment.

But Lipa wasn’t finished. She upped the ante by introducing jalapeño juice into her creation. “Everyone is staring at me,” she laughed, adding whole jalapeños to the mix. “The lady in the back is like, ‘What the hell is she doing?’”

The trend of enhancing sodas has gained popularity on social media, especially following the release of ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’. Many stars from the show enjoy “dirty sodas,” which combine various syrups and creamers to elevate traditional soda flavours. 

Lipa’s adventurous spirit and willingness to try bold combinations certainly contribute to the ongoing fascination with creative drink recipes.
