Doritos Booze Is Coming

Author Chris Allen

PepsiCo and custom spirits maker Empirical are teaming up for a new booze that tastes like Doritos. Yes, you heard me right Doritos booze is coming.

The two companies are releasing an 84-proof clear liquor that actually smells and tastes like the real thing. The limited edition bottle of Empirical x Doritos Nacho Cheese Spirit will arrive on shelves in select markets next month for $65.

Mental Floss says this isn’t the first time Empirical has experimented with adding unconventional flavors to liquor. Offbeat spirits available from the Danish company include such botanicals as plum kernel, cacao husk, and oolong tea. Though Doritos liquor sounds like a novelty item, the distillers took the same approach to the collaboration as they do with the rest of their products.

The Empirical team says “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. What’s the weirdest flavored liquor you ever had?

11 Country Artists Who Don't Drink Alcohol

It seems that the Country music industry and alcohol almost go hand in hand. With so many songs about drinking, partying and having an all-around good time, it really isn’t a big surprise.

But, as Lady A’s Charles Kelley begins his journey towards sobriety, the topic has been top of mind.

“I want to thank everyone who has shown me so much support and encouragement so far on my journey of sobriety,” Kelly said in a recent Instagram post. “Y’alls kind words have meant the world to me and really lifted me up over the past few weeks. I can’t wait to get back on the road with Lady A next year.”

That got us thinking about which other country stars don’t drink. There aren’t necessarily a lot of examples of people who are open about it in the industry, but there definitely are a few.

One notable example is Keith Urban, who has been very open about his struggles with addiction to drugs and alcohol many times in the past.

“I’ve nothing against drugs or alcohol. Everyone does what they want to do to have a great time,” Urban said in an article by The Times U.K. “I just realized I’m allergic to it. Someone said, ‘You have an allergy? What happens when you drink?’ And I said, ‘I break out in cuffs.'”

Here is a list of 11 other country artists that go against the grain and choose not to drink alcohol.
