Pepsi

Pepsi is gently ushering in summer early this year with the release of two completely new flavors.

The brand is launching a duo of fresh, limited-edition options that are "inspired by summer grilling" and they've even tapped celebrity chef Bobby Flay to provide some exclusive recipes for fans to enjoy alongside the sizzling sips.

This upcoming season, Pepsi Peach and Pepsi Lime join the soda company's lineup of expanding flavors, with more innovations said to be on their way throughout summertime.

"The tangy citrus bite of lime and the plush sweetness of a ripe peach are popular and nostalgic summertime flavor profiles, and when combined with the crisp and refreshing taste of Pepsi," the brand noted in a press release shared exclusively with Parade.

"Both Pepsi Lime and Pepsi Peach provide a delectable sweet and refreshing flavor to pair with and enhance the bold, dynamic and smokey savory flavors created on a grill," it added.

Though no specific date was noted for when consumers can expect to see the items hit store shelves, the announcement notes that they'll be available nationwide very soon in 12 oz. cans and 20 oz. bottle varieties.

"When it comes to barbecue, the right beverage can truly elevate the experience. Pepsi, with its complex flavor profile, is the perfect counterpoint to the smoky, rich barbecue dishes that have been such a staple of my culinary journey. Whether you're enjoying fall-off-the-bone ribs, juicy burgers, or perfectly smoked brisket, Pepsi makes each bite pop for a truly memorable meal,” said Bobby Flay.

He continued: “Grilling and Pepsi go hand-in-hand as summer staples and I am as excited as anyone to explore the possibilities that Pepsi Lime and Pepsi Peach bring to the table this season."
