‘S***!’ Gordon Ramsay hilariously exclaims after tasting Dua Lipa’s viral drink creation.
If you haven’t come across the pop star’s Diet Coke-tail, consider yourself fortunate because it’s, well, quite something.
Although she possesses a singing voice that rivals the best in the industry, that doesn’t necessarily translate to bartending skills – even if she might like to think of herself as a mixologist.
Recently, the singer shared her unique Diet Coke mocktail on TikTok. In the clip, the 29-year-old announced: “Step one, diet coke and then pickle juice, then a couple of pickles.”
Yes, she indeed added pickles to her Diet Coke – an unlikely combination Coca-Cola probably never envisioned.
Has anyone ever thought their beverage needed pickle juice? Aside from the ‘Don’t Start Now’ singer, it’s doubtful anyone has.
Primarily composed of vinegar, pickle juice isn’t exactly something you’d typically drink!
But the concoction didn’t end there; it actually became even more unusual.
Lipa went on to add: “And then some jalapeño sauce. Then a couple of jalapeños.”
The video has amassed over 5.6 million views in just four days, one viewer being celebrity chef Ramsay, who, while not a mixologist, certainly understands taste.
The 57-year-old couldn’t resist weighing in after seeing the video, and to his credit, he tried the unusual mix himself.
“Right, okay let’s go. Diet Coke in, a little bit of jalapeño juice, a little pickle juice, pickles in, jalapeños in, and then literally top that up with some more coke and just a little bit more juice,” Ramsay narrates.
“Okay here goes.”
As he prepares to taste Lipa’s creation – which could aptly be described as a ‘potion’ – he quickly utters his now-famous phrase: “Seriously?”
Almost instantaneously after tasting it, he spits it out and exclaims: “Dua Lipa for God’s sake girl! You’ll ruin your vocal chords! S***!”
Ramsay’s amusing reaction has garnered over 2.1 million views since being uploaded to his TikTok account on October 8.
In Lipa’s video, she acknowledges the attention she was receiving, and it’s likely not just due to her celebrity status.
“Everyone is staring at me. The lady in the back is like ‘What the hell is she doing?’,” she commented.
Lipa, that reaction seems quite fitting for such an unusual choice of drink ingredients.
