💬 Quoted… “[A] savory nacho cheese-imbued beverage experience that smells and tastes just like the real thing.”

• If you’ve always wanted to drink nacho cheese, here’s your chance. This week, Doritos unveiled a collab with flavor company Empirical to bring Doritos Nacho Cheese-flavored liquor to the people. And it’s about as close to the real thing as you can get, per the companies – the creation process involves using real Doritos chips and retaining their essence through vacuum distillation. Not sold yet? The liquor, which has a suggested retail price of $65 as well as 42% alcohol by volume, will “bring a moment of ‘WTF!?’ to anyone who tries it,” according to Empirical. (Which, coincidentally, is also the reaction we had reading this news.)
