'I tried Dua Lipa's viral Diet Coke recipe - it made me immediately crave one McDonald's item'

Dua Lipa has gone viral for her bizarre nutrient summation she adds to a solid of Diet Coke. Mirror writer Niamh decided to springiness it a spell to spot wherefore the popular prima loved the unusual pairing truthful much

There are immoderate bizarre nutrient concoctions retired there, from McDonald's chips dipped successful a milkshake to balsamic vinegar and crystal cream, but popular star Dua Lipa has raised immoderate eyebrows implicit her Diet Coke pairing.

The popular prima has shared her antithetic Diet Coke concoction with the satellite arsenic she revealed she adds a fewer other ingredients of her ain to springiness it a 'kick', but galore radical aren't convinced. As she proudly poured pickle juice, followed by jalapeno juice, into an icy cupful of Diet Coke, galore radical were near baffled implicit the bizarre recipe, truthful I conscionable simply had to effort it out.

Now, I bash emotion a spicy margarita and I bash emotion pickles, arsenic good arsenic jalapenos, truthful this didn't dependable excessively outlandish for maine to privation to try. However I can't accidental I've ever had the impulse to harvester the 2 with a tin of Coke, but if it's bully capable for Dua, it's bully capable for me.

Armed with a solid afloat of ice, a tin of Diet Coke, a jar of sliced gherkins and a jar of sliced jalapenos I was acceptable to go, and earnestly intrigued. I wondered if it would successful a mode lucifer a spicy marg? Would the bitterness of the gherkins instrumentality over? Or would it beryllium a existent delight? Let's find out...

Granted, I don't deliberation this is simply a portion you could portion successful the bureau oregon successful a restaurant, and it's champion kept arsenic a concealed indulgence. It's not truly a portion I deliberation you could portion anyplace successful nationalist without getting a fewer looks, truthful successful the information of my ain home, without the interest of being judged (except for my mum), I was acceptable to springiness it a go.

I poured the Diet Coke into a solid of crystal conscionable similar Dua Lipa did and past poured successful immoderate of the pickle water, followed by immoderate of the jalapeno water. I past garnished it with a fewer sliced gherkins and a fewer jalapenos, but I was not expecting the result.

I can't truly accidental what I was expecting, but it surely wasn't a tangy, level Diet Coke. The pickle and jalapeno foodstuff surely killed immoderate of the fizz from the Coke, truthful it was highly flat. It was besides highly bitter. Perhaps I added a small excessively overmuch pickle foodstuff but it was precise overpowering.

Weirdly, it besides truly made maine crave a McDonald's. It really tasted a spot similar a Big Mac and I can't enactment my digit connected wherefore - possibly it's reminiscent of the pungent gherkins that complement the signature sauce. I can't accidental it's the worst happening I've ever tried, but I can't accidental it tastes amended than a regular, usually refreshing, solid of Diet Coke.

Sometimes things are often champion near arsenic they are, and I deliberation Diet Coke is 1 of them. Sorry Dua Lipa, but adjacent arsenic a pickle fan, this 1 truly doesn't work.

Would you effort this? Let america cognize successful the comments.
