In the video, Lopez said, "I love entertaining and to relax and unwind with friends." And one of the finest locations for her to accomplish that is along the Italian coast, where she enjoys the tranquilly and friendliness of the residents. She sipped her cocktail there with friends gathered around her as her new commercial was being filmed.

The 'Adrenalina' singer added, "But never found a drink that was right for me. I was in search of something that I could enjoy that fit the thoughtful way that I live my life. When I didn't find it, I decided to create Delola." In just one easy pour, Lola said her objectives were "better ingredients, better taste, fewer calories than traditional cocktails."

The halftime show performer for the 2020 Super Bowl added, "Something easy, fun, fresh and delicious. I knew that if I was looking, others were too. I knew that if I was looking, others were too." Lopez continued, "Delola gives people the freedom to enjoy – free from the cutting, squeezing, and mixing, free from the stress of entertaining, free to make ordinary moments extraordinary."

'Big boss energy!'

The Internet appeared to divide in their opinion by the launch of the new cocktail brand. One set of fans and followers congratulated and praised Lopez for her new endeavor. One such follower commented, "WHAT A FABULOUS SURPRISE! Happy for you @JLo and grateful that you keep creating amazing quality products for us ALL to enjoy—can’t wait to try all 3 #DelolaLife spritz drink—fingers crossed @DelolaLife will be available in my area of Virginia soon!"

A second fan commented, "This looks so good! I can't wait to try it! #DelolaLife" A third Twitter user commented, "Looks so good. Congratulations on another successful business journey. Cant wait to try." Another one excalimed, "We've got to have @delolalife be part of our festival this summer @VegasFoodWine give us a YES @JLo need your support for our biggest charity of the year@Drinks_At_6"

Other supportive comments read: "Uau! Congratulations Jen! You’re incredible. And so beautiful. I love you!" "I am a bartender for a living & I am excited to try what you’ve created here! Will be on the look out for it around ATLANTA!" "Business savvy, intelligent and just freaking brilliant.This is what I call big boss energy! How can anyone not love jlo? She is truly an inspiration to all women!" among others.

However, there's another set of social media users who criticized Lopez for promoting alcohol, despite being a non-drinker. One such Instagram user commented, "Oh wow. This is disappointing. Why not create a NA brand considering you’ve been outspoken about the negative affects of alcohol and that you yourself don’t drink? This feels so off-brand for you, genuinely curious why you’re selling alcohol." A second one commented, "Jlo you don’t drink. This is like something that is known and has been pointed out on numerous occasions. I mean….I get it- a coin is a coin- but mama you don’t drink alcohol."

Another morality preacher commented, "Wow. I’m so disappointed and confused by the narrative that she puts out about how she doesn’t drink alcohol and all the benefits from not drinking. And her partner is sober? It doesn’t matter what type of “good for you ingredients” and “healthy labels” (gluten free) is in alcohol, it’s still a carcinogenic toxin. Plus, it would have been really cool if she could show that she can still enjoy life with a non-alcoholic beverage. Again, celebrities and Hollywood pushing a narrative that you need to consume alcohol to have fun and enjoy life. If this was a non alcoholic beverage brand the sober girlies would have been so excited and all over it and it would have stood out. Now it’s just another celebrity alcohol brand 🙄I’ve always been a fan of JLO but again this is really really disappointing and her messaging is very confusing."

Someone else preached capitalism and commented, "Ah capitalism strikes again! J.Lo was an inspiration for me to stay away from alcohol, tho she is not sober, she talked about how she rarely drinks and if she does it’s a celebratory sip, so it’s a bummer she is promoting alcohol when there are so many great NA drinks! For argument sake, sure it’s business and it’s about money, but it just seems fake AF to be promoting alcohol under the guise of “living a little” when she talks about how bad alcohol is for her skin and is not part of her lifestyle (not to mention Ben’s past issues). But hey, we’ll all flip for a dollar right?"
