That’s not the same effect."
Celebrating 1800 Tequila’s Ultimate Margarita Strawberry
You’re launching theUltimate Margarita Strawberry with 1800 Tequila.
Why is this your summer drink of choice?
Well, once I heard the word tequila, number one …
It’s so easy.
I love the flavor.
And [it’s] a crowd pleaser for when you have people over.
Are you a fan of their other products, and what else have you been drinking lately?
The same ones, but in different flavors.
They have so many great flavors.
I was excited about strawberry, but they do have a bunch of other really good flavors.
Are you a fan of mixing up cocktails in your own time?
It’s so hard in the summer to devote the time to it.
You recently returned to filming “Summer House.”
What’s it been like watching Lindsay [Hubbard] and Carl [Radke]’s relationship develop?
You’ve been their best friend the entire time and have watched their relationship go full circle.
In the beginning, it required a lot of tequila for me because it was such a shock.
They’re like, “Yes.”
I’m like, “Oh, my God.”
It was a shock.
It took a lot to get used to because the dynamic shifted, but it’s great.
It’s amazing now.
It just took me a couple of months to fully warm up to the whole entire thing.
It’s pretty crazy to have that all documented also.
I hate living my life with any sort of unfinished business or unspoken tension.
That’s not fun.
That can’t be easy on an international platform.
It’s not something that I was born being able to do.
I’m in my thirties now, and I feel a little bit more confident in who I am.
It’s something that I’ve definitely had to grow into versus something that comes naturally to me.
I know it’s made a big difference for a lot of people.
That’s why we keep doing what we do.
On her romance with chef Robert Sieber
Do you have a favorite reality show?
Would you be open to starring in any others?
Yes “Below Deck: Sailing Yacht.”
I would love to be on that show, because it’s the perfect combination of …
They work hard and they play hard, similar to ours.
They’re definitely doing it in the most insane circumstances on a huge yacht and under high stress.
But it’s so cool.
The places that they go to [and] the personalities are so fun.
I would hang out with them.
Actually, I’m hoping that I meet them atBravo Con; that’ll be soon.
I was really shippingDaisy [Kelliher]andGary [King]this season.
[They have] weird friend tension.
I love watching her busting his chops all the time.
We need a crossover.
you’re gonna wanna get on that boat.
Yes.Robert [Sieber, Danielle’s boyfriend]could chef it up withMarcos [Spaziani].
What’s it been like having that romance in the public eye?
It’s weird because people say, “You guys are so normal.”
It feels like it did before it was public.
I don’t know.
We have such a good foundation here.
We’re in Montauk right now.
You might be doing it for other people versus yourselves.
I like that even though we’re out there, we still maintain this bubble.
Can you tell us anything about the company and what’s happening with it?
It’s still really scary.
I’d be lying if I didn’t say I have an imposter syndrome.
I’m really good at building software.
It’s a lot.
But that’s not the reality of the situation.
I hope that we have momentum this summer and can put something out.
That’s what I want people to feel after they’ve used my app.
I’m not going to reveal the name just yet.
… [It] will be revealed soon, hopefully this summer.
Overcoming imposter syndrome
That’s exciting.
Well, don’t have imposter syndrome.
It sounds like you’ve got it.
It’s a lot.
It’s overwhelming sometimes.
But again, tequila.
It’s hard because, even when partnering with 1800 Tequila, it’s one of those things where …
It’s not like I’m promoting you doing shots.
I’m promoting you enjoying a margarita poolside with your friends.
That’s another reason why I chose this partnership.
I even texted him beforehand.
I was like, “You would be cool with this, right?”
No, that’s on IMDb.
Is that not you?
Has someone co-opted your profile?
That’s so weird.
I feel like I wouldn’t be a good actress.
I don’t know.
I would prepare a lot.
I’m definitely a good preparer, but I don’t know if I have it in me.
I’m too normal.
I don’t know if I could be anyone else besides myself.
We just need to get you on “Below Deck.”
That I could do.
That would feel great.
I could be a guest.
I could definitely be on the yacht.
Those are my goals.
