Dua Lipa, the talented British singer-songwriter, has been making waves in the music industry with her catchy tunes and powerful vocals. But it seems that she has more than just music up her sleeve. In a recent collaboration with Vogue, Dua has taken her love for music to a whole new level by turning her favorite songs into cocktails for the magazine’s Toast to Cinema series.
The concept of mixing music and cocktails may seem unusual, but for Dua, it was a perfect way to showcase her love for both music and mixology. In an exclusive interview with Vogue, Dua shared her inspiration behind this unique collaboration. “Music and cocktails have always been a big part of my life. They both have the power to transport you to a different world and evoke different emotions. So, I thought, why not combine the two and create something truly special?” she said.
And that’s exactly what she did. Dua handpicked five of her favorite songs and created a cocktail inspired by each one of them. The result? A perfect blend of flavors and melodies that will tantalize your taste buds and transport you to a musical paradise.
First up, we have “New Rules”, Dua’s breakout hit that took the world by storm. The song, which talks about moving on from a toxic relationship, was turned into a refreshing and zesty cocktail. Dua named it “The Breakup Spritz” and described it as a mix of gin, elderflower liqueur, and grapefruit juice, topped with a splash of soda. Just like the song, this cocktail is a perfect balance of bitter and sweet, with a hint of fizz.
Next on the list is “Levitating”, a disco-inspired track that has become a fan favorite. Dua’s cocktail for this song is called “The Disco Ball”, and it’s a sparkling mix of vodka, cranberry juice, and champagne. With its glittery appearance and bubbly taste, this cocktail is a perfect representation of the song’s upbeat and infectious energy.
Moving on to “Don’t Start Now”, a dance-pop anthem that has become a global hit. Dua’s cocktail for this song is called “The Heartbreaker” and it’s a bold and fiery mix of tequila, triple sec, and lime juice. Just like the song’s empowering lyrics, this cocktail packs a punch and will make you want to dance the night away.
Dua’s fourth cocktail is inspired by her latest single, “Physical”. The song, which is a modern take on Olivia Newton-John’s classic hit, is all about unleashing your inner strength and embracing your sexuality. Dua’s cocktail, aptly named “The Powerhouse”, is a mix of rum, pineapple juice, and coconut cream, garnished with a cherry on top. It’s a tropical and indulgent drink that will make you feel like you’re on a beach, dancing to the beat of the song.
Last but not least, we have “IDGAF”, a breakup anthem that has become an anthem for self-love and empowerment. Dua’s cocktail for this song is called “The Self-Love Sip”, and it’s a mix of vodka, cranberry juice, and a splash of lime. This cocktail is all about celebrating yourself and not giving a second thought to anyone who doesn’t appreciate you, just like the message of the song.
Dua’s creativity and attention to detail are evident in each of these cocktails. She not only took inspiration from the songs’ lyrics and melodies but also incorporated her personal taste and preferences. “I wanted each cocktail to represent the essence of the song and also reflect my own personality. I think we achieved that with these five drinks,” she said.
The cocktails were unveiled at a star-studded event hosted by Vogue, where Dua performed a medley of her hit songs. The event was a celebration of music, mixology, and cinema, and Dua’s cocktails were the highlight of the night. They were a hit among the guests, who couldn’t stop raving about the unique concept and delicious flavors.
Dua’s collaboration with Vogue’s Toast to Cinema series is a testament to her versatility and creativity. She has not only conquered the music world but has also shown her prowess in the world of mixology. Her ability to bring together two seemingly different things and create something extraordinary is truly commendable.
