In case you've somehow wanted a cocktail to taste like a cheesy snack, there's a liquor made just for you.
Doritos teamed up with Empirical to create a booze that tastes just like the chip's classic nacho cheese flavor. The Nacho Cheese Spirit was made using real Doritos chips and alcohol, according to a news release.
The PepsiCo-owned brand said the limited-time booze can be made into multiple cocktails that be sipped neat or over ice.
"Empirical is an 'uncategorized’ spirits company, so it allows us the freedom to experiment with really interesting flavors and not have to be stuck in a gin box or tequila box or whiskey box," distiller and CEO Lars Williams said in the release. "And we can take something that has a unique and amazing flavor, like Doritos, and evolve it into something completely new."
Instead of using traditional distillation methods, Empirical used a vacuum distillation because it operates at lower temperatures to better preserve "the full spectrum of flavors derived from Doritos."

Pre-orders can start Wednesday Dec. 13 and can be purchased here.
What does the Doritos cheese-flavored booze taste like?
The Doritos and Empirical alcoholic beverage combines the flavors of nacho cheese, corn tostada and umami with a hint of acidity, according to the news release.
"Experience the indulgent flavors of your favorite snack in liquid form. The spirit opens with umami and tangy aromas of nacho cheese, moving to the deeper, corn-forward flavors of the chip to finish on a soft salty note," the news release said.
The brands recommend fans make Margarta's, Bloody Mary's and Old Fashioneds and shared recipes on how they can make Dorito themes cocktails.
