Mixing Melodies: Dua Lipa's Musical Cocktails for Toast to Cinema
Dua Lipa, the pop star, was asked to create cocktails inspired by her favorite songs for a unique twist on the Toast to Cinema series. The first cocktail she made was a dirty vodka martini, inspired by Sade's "Smooth Operator." Lipa described it as smooth and delicious, just like a good martini. The second cocktail was a White Russian with a twist, inspired by her own song "Houdini." She added a dash of Sambuca and a chilled espresso shot to give it an extra kick. The final cocktail was a highball inspired by Elton John's "Benny and the Jets," a drink she had while watching him perform at Dodger Stadium. Lipa shared more inspired pairings in the full video, including a paloma for "Sweet Dreams" and a basil smash for "Toxic." Watch the video for more fun stories from Lipa's life as a global pop star.
