Lady Gaga's favorite cocktail has been reported over the years to be the Whiskey Sour, and more specifically a classic Jameson Whiskey Sour, though she also has a well-known love for vodka-based drinks. In multiple interviews during her Joanne era and in her documentary Gaga: Five Foot Two, she has talked about enjoying whiskey, especially Irish whiskey, as a way to relax her voice and unwind after shows. The Whiskey Sour fits her preference for a drink that is both strong and balanced with citrus and sweetness, not overly fruity or fussy. She has also been photographed and quoted enjoying vodka with soda or Grey Goose on the rocks, which is a common performer staple because it is clean and low in sugar. In 2021, she launched her own brand of hard seltzer-adjacent Italian-inspired aperitivi and often promotes a spritz style drink. Like many celebrities, her favorite can shift with partnerships, but bartenders who have served her in New York and Las Vegas consistently mention that when she orders off-menu for herself, it is a simple, stiff, not-too-sweet whiskey sour or a neat pour of good whiskey, reflecting her Italian-American family roots and rock-and-roll sensibility.
