News Drink News Claussen Pickles Teases a 'Just the Brine' Canned Drink in Honor of Dua Lipa 'One sip is all it takes.' By Stacey Leasca Published on October 17, 2024 Close Photo: Courtesy of Kraft Heinz There are few people who can say they've made culinary history, and even fewer who can say they did it in under 60 seconds with just five ingredients. But Dua Lipa is surely one of them. In early October, the singer uploaded a quick clip to her TikTok, showing off her favorite drink: A blend of Diet Coke, pickle juice, pickle chips, a bit of jalapeño juice, and a few actual jalapeños for good measure. And people went absolutely bananas over it — including Claussen pickles. On Tuesday, the pickle company shared a simple image on Instagram, showing a bubbly glass of ice-cold soda, alongside a can of "Just the Brine," a fictional canned beverage made with just dill pickle juice. Or should we say … fictional for now. Leftover Pickle Brine Is Liquid Gold — Here’s How to Use It, According to a Pro Pickler and Chef "Hey Dua Lipa, we hear you. One sip is all it takes. Do we dare? 10k likes and we just might make Claussen Dill Pickle Juice a thing," the brand wrote in the caption of its Instagram post. And in under 24 hours it hit that goal, and then some, with more than 17,000 people liking the post at the time of writing, with hundreds of comments from fans begging for it to be real. "Need this so I can make Dua’s Dill & Diet Coke," one fan wrote. "I’ll make fake accounts just to make this happen," another added. Even Capri Sun was feeling the vibes, with the brand account commenting, "Road to 10,000 likes, this needs to happen," in all capital letters. Some commenters also noted how many other uses there are for this jar, including for chicken marinades and even as a sports drink. And, as Claussen cheekily noted in a statement to Food & Wine, its pickle juice doesn't only pair well with Diet Coke. Its perfectly tangy notes are also ideal for creating drink concoctions with other carbonated sodas like Dr. Pepper, ginger ale, and lemon-lime. So go ahead and like that post so this can become a reality, and so we can stop stealing the juice from our pickle jars. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
