In aTikTok clip from MTV UKthat now has more than 96,000 likes , the pop star show off her raw drinkable recipe , and we can pretty much guarantee that no one else has come up with this one before . She go with some Diet Coke ( a contribution most can get behind ) and adds pickle juice to the mixing . Then she tops it off with a small amount of jalapeño juice , hold in a smattering ofsliced jalapeñosand pickles as a garnish .
“ Everyone ’s staring at me , ” Dua jokes as she put together the cocktail in a restaurant . “ The peeress in the back is like , ' What is she doing ? ' "
This is n’t the first time the vocaliser has gone viral for herodd flavor jazz band . to begin with this class , the concept of adding European olive tree oil and sea saltiness to vanilla chalk ointment go viral on social media after she mentioned it was her pet way to enjoy a bowl .
Although rooter mostly expressed excitation to seek out her European olive tree oil crank cream hack , not everyone is quite as fast to the idea of a pickle and jalapeño juice cocktail . ( Many are probably bulge out to find new meaning to her Song dynasty Do n’t bulge out Now . )

But one commenter came to her rescue on TikTok , explaining that the clip comes from a longer television in which she makes multiple drinks for her kinsfolk to try with her .
So , does the pickle juice cocktail have any bartending merit ? Believe it or not , vinegar ( particularlyapple cider vinegar ) is a key ingredient in many cocktails because it provides acidity to sundry drinks . Pickle juice has the same effect .
If you ’re making amocktail(like Dua in the TikTok ) , you might apprise how vinegar pack a slight punch . This gives it a feeling visibility more reminiscent of alcohol .
Now , your typical cocktail is n’t going to be relying on a acetose charge from pickle juice , of course . But Dua is n’t wrong that a hint can offset the sweet of a cocktail al-Qaeda — and we ca n’t facilitate but appreciate the fact that she ’s taking it to another level by bringing in some heat with jalapeños .
