Taco Bell Just Dropped the 'Sauce of the Summer' originally appeared on Parade. Taco Bell claims it has the "sauce of the summer," and it's launching nationwide in just a few hours.

Smoky-sweet with a bit of tang—just as a good red barbecue sauce should be. If you, like us, are a fan of all things barbecue, you’ll be thrilled to hear this news from an unlikely source. That’s right: Taco Bell is launching their very own Sweet Chipotle BBQ Sauce.

Taco Bell, best known for Mexican-inspired grub like nachos and chalupas, is expanding its beverage offerings. The move, which seeks to cater to Gen Z’s insatiable thirst for both energy drinks and mocktails, includes the addition of six new bubbly creations to the summer menu, with three drinks sticking around permanently.
