You're either going to be hit with inspiration or feel a wave of disgust if you ever get into the kitchen with Dua Lipa and she makes a drink for you.
Dua Lipa is a pretty big pop star with legions of fans all over the world... but that doesn’t mean she knows anything about good drinks combinations though.
A few days ago, the singer took to TikTok to highlight a Diet Coke recipe she stands by, and some fans really aren’t getting on board.
The clip has so far been viewed more than 4.5 million times on the social media platform and has certainly got people talking.

Speaking in the TikTok video, she said: “Step one, diet coke and then pickle juice, then a couple of pickles.”
See, it is right here that she would have lost me. I like pickles, I really do, but at no point do I think, 'hmm you know what this drink needs... pickle juice'.
But it didn’t stop there, in fact, it got worse.
She continued: ”And then some jalapeño sauce. Then a couple of jalapeños.”
“Everyone is staring at me. The lady in the back is like ‘What the hell is she doing?’”
And they should be staring, not because she is a popular pop-star because... what are you doing to that drink?
The singer stood by it, however, and recommended her friends try it themselves and got a mixed reception at the table.
On social media, it was a little more one sided, though there were some fans who would give it a go on the basis it was Dua Lipa recommending.
One less than impressed fan wrote: “My taste buds would sue me if I tried this.”
Another joked: “Tell her to stay where she is the police are on their way.”
A third wrote: “Just because things can be combined doesn't mean they should be.”
While a fan willing to try it out said: “That sounds like quite the combo! I’m not sure if it’s genius or a bit wild, but I’m definitely curious to try it out!”
Another added: “Let me make and try this. The Olive oil ice cream also was good.”
What is the olive oil ice cream thing you ask?
Well, this new combination comes after she told her fans that she likes to add olive oil and sea salt to her vanilla ice cream.
Interestingly enough, some fans became a fan of this combination, not sure if this new one will catch on though.
