On Monday, July 8, USA Today took to X and posted a viral tweet about Lady Gaga's favorite drink. According to a tweet, the singer's favorite cocktail was a mix of red wine and Diet Coke. Netizens did not waste time and soon reacted to this combination. The tweet read:
"Lady Gaga's drink of choice is red wine mixed with diet coke. The combination is going viral on social media after the celebrity recently revealed her preference for the cocktail in an online interview."
Trending
The tweet included clips of several netizens trying out the cocktail and sharing their opinions on the same. According to the post, the drink was essentially known as Kalimotxo, a Spanish cocktail, traditionally made with equal parts of red wine and a cola-based soft drink.
Lady Gaga reportedly enjoys her version of the drink with Diet Coke and maraschino cherries. The tweet by USA Today amassed more than 15K views since it was posted on the social media platform. Several videos have surfaced online, with people trying out and reviewing the drink, allegedly preferred by Gaga.
While the tweet claimed that the information was given out by Gaga in some online interview, the link to that source could not be found at the time of writing. The cocktail buzz came just a week after Lady Gaga made headlines following reports that she was going to perform at Jeff Bezos' wedding.
According to reports by The Daily Mail, rumors began circulating that Bezos turned down Gaga's performance after she allegedly requested a fee of $6 million. Elton John's name also surfaced in similar rumors. TMZ later debunked the rumors, stating that no such deal had happened between Bezos and either of the artists.
No official response had been given by any of the involved parties.
Exploring more about Lady Gaga's favorite drink
As mentioned previously, Lady Gaga's favorite cocktail was Kalimotxo, a classic that originated in the Basque Country. It is also widely preferred throughout Spain, according to a 2013 report by The New York Times. The primary reason that this cocktail is popular is its simplicity and affordability.
This cocktail, typically made with equal parts red wine and cola, is known by different names across the world. It is commonly served over ice or “on the rocks.”
While the recent tweet suggested that red wine with Diet Coke was Gaga's favorite cocktail combination, an article by Thrillist published in May 2017 suggested that the singer was very fond of Jameson.
Many netizens who have since tried the unconventional cocktail combination apparently preferred by Lady Gaga have responded positively. However, the singer is yet to drop any reaction to the latest trend.
