Everyone loves Doritos. We can’t get enough of the delicious snack. There are several flavors and options in every store, even our tacos now have shells made of Doritos. Now, Doritos liquor is a real thing that actually exists.

That’s right! You can now find Doritos in the chips aisle and the alcohol department. The popular chip brand has partnered with Empirical Spirits for this 84-proof liquor that FoodAndWine.com says smells and tastes like the real thing.

Doritos Liquor Coming Soon

Now, I’m very familiar with the taste and smell of Doritos. However, I can’t wrap my head around how this must taste. A cheesy liquor? I don’t know about that.

According to FoodAndWine.com, Lars Williams is ensuring the integrity of the new booze. The co-founder of Empirical Spirits reportedly has been steering the company towards “uncategorized spirits,” per FoodAndWine.com. That means it’s not a vodka, gin, rum, or whiskey. It’s its own thing. Which only makes all of this more confusing. Although FoodAndWine.com points out it seems to be closest to a cheese-flavored vodka.

According to FoodAndWine.com, Williams shared this about the origin story of Doritos liquor, “In Empirical’s very early days in Copenhagen, a team member returned from lunch with a sandwich and a bag of Doritos. Curiosity led me to turn this snack into a spirit.” He went on to say that when they started sharing their creation it was greatly received by friends and chefs alike.

Does it actually smell and taste like the real thing? According to FoodAndWine.com it does! Brad Japhe of FoodAndWine.com writes “it leaves your palate with a drying note, akin to what accumulates on your tongue after you’ve crushed a sizable bag of corn chips.”

The folks at PepsiCo are aware and impressed by the mash-up creation, according to FoodAndWine.com. They say it will be available on shelves next month and is set to retail around $65, per FoodAndWine.com.

Late-Night Snacks: Bring Big Flavor To Your Wedding Celebration

In recent years, a new trend has been making waves in the world of weddings: late-night snacks and meals. Gone are the days when weddings were limited to formal dinner receptions. Couples and wedding planners have embraced the idea of adding a touch of fun and excitement to the celebration by offering a delectable spread of snacks and meals in the late hours of the night.

As a matter of fact, there are some McDonald’s restaurants offering $200 wedding packages that include 100 chicken sandwiches and 100 four-piece packages of chicken McNuggets. According to CNBC, the $230 deal would provide a chicken sandwich and McNuggets for $2 per person at a 100-guest wedding.

  • Burger Sliders

    Regarding late-night snacks, offering full-sized burgers may not appeal to everyone, especially after a filling dinner. However, you can still satisfy your guests’ savory cravings with sliders. Serve up mini burgers, or get creative with pulled pork or brisket sliders for a flavorful bite. Expand the options further by including mini grilled cheese sandwiches or mini biscuit sandwiches, providing a variety of burger or sandwich-like options. If you’re short on time or prefer convenience, consider pre-ordering mini burgers from your favorite restaurant to save on wedding day DIY efforts.
