The pop star shared a video on TikTok of a bonkers drink she concocted out of Diet Coke, pickles, pickle juice, and "jalapeño sauce"—and fans are both intrigued and grossed out.

UK singer Dua Lipa made quite a splash online by sharing her bizarre beverage recipe in a TikTok video that consisted of Diet Coke, pickles, pickle juice, and "jalapeño sauce" to top it all off.

Her mixology hijinks were equal parts amusing and utterly nausea-inducing online.


Lipa, known as one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world in 2024, was in Texas over the weekend performing a headlining set at the Austin City Limits Music Festival in Zilker Park.

During her time in the Lone Star State, the "IDGAF" singer stopped by one of Austin's popular BBQ joints, La Barbecue, and shared what she believed was a delicious drink recipe with friends.

The viral TikTok showed her pouring a can of Diet Coke into a cup filled with ice, followed by pickle juice poured from a container of pickles, some "jalapeño sauce," and garnished with a couple of slices of pickles and jalapeños.

At one point, she remarked that people were staring at her creating her eyebrow-raising concoction, and who could blame them?

"The lady in the back is like, 'What the hell is she doing?'" she said with a smirk.

Lipa gave the beverage cup "a little mix up" and took a sip to her satisfaction before making her dining companions the same drink for them to try.

Here is the viral TikTok from Pop Base on X (formerly Twitter).

People didn't know what to think.

Well, they did actually in the comments section.





Some fans said, "Bottoms up."




The festival continues with its second weekend run on October 11 to 13.

Lipa will be joined by fellow headliners Tyler The Creator, Chris Stapleton, Blink-182, Sturgill Simpson, Pretty Lights, Khruangbin, Leon Bridges, and Chappell Roan, who isn't technically a headliner but is sure to draw huge crowds.

Scott Bessent Blasted Over His Bonkers Suggestion For How To Bring Your Own Inflation Rate Down

Continuing to follow the example of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared on Meet the Press Sunday to blame Democratic President Joe Biden for the financial downturn caused by Trump's tariff fiasco, then lied repeatedly about the state of the economy.

Meet the Press host Kristen Welker played a clip of MAGA Republican Vice President JD Vance telling a conservative audience at a Breitbart News event that Americans owe the Trump administration "a little bit of patience"—apparently while they figure out what tariffs are and how they work since they're rolling back more of them to lower consumer prices despite claiming Trump's tariffs don't affect consumer prices.

Draped in a maroon, jewel-trimmed gown by The New Arrivals Ilkyaz Ozel and accompanied by her husband, Bader Shammas, and their 2-year-old son, Luai, the actress looked serene, elegant, and completely unbothered by the collective whiplash she was about to inflict on the internet.
