Instead of gathering around the campfire for some s’mores this fall, Pepsi is offering you a way to gather around the fridge instead.
The brand is launching a special limited-edition “Pepsi S’mores Collection” this fall, a collection of three small cans of Pepsi that when combined together can create a S’mores -like flavor. The idea being that you would open all three cans at once, and then blend them together to create your own perfect concoction.
Wondering about those three cans? Each can is a distinctive flavor you’d find in S’mores. Here’s the official description from Pepsi:
- Toasty Marshmallow is an entirely new Pepsi concoction, taking a marshmallow base with layers of toasted notes to mimic a light fireside flavor.
- Graham Cracker is infused with notes of honey and cinnamon to achieve the perfect balanced graham cracker flavor profile.
- Chocolate contains dominant notes of cocoa throughout, with slight hints of vanilla to create extra creamy sweetness, mimicking a slightly melted chocolate flavor.
Rather than sell the collection at stores, Pepsi is giving all 2,000 cans of the collection away through a sweepstakes on social media. Fans can share an image of themselves with the hashtags #PepsiSmores and #Sweepstakes and follow @Pepsi for a chance to win a set of the limited-edition Pepsi S’mores Collection.
If you do manage to snag one of the limited-edition sets, the brand has also passed along a few recipes for blends it thinks work particularly well:
- The Classic – Everyone’s favorite for a reason! Perfectly balanced, as all things should be. Start with a cold glass, add 1/3 Graham Cracker, 1/3 Chocolate and 1/3 Toasty Marshmallow.
- Marshmallow (is for) Lovers – If you find yourself standing over the fire with three, even four marshmallows on one stick, this recipe is for you. The extra layers of toasty marshmallows feel like a decadent sweet cloud hitting your tastebuds! Start with a cold glass, add 1/2 Toasty Marshmallow, 1/4 Graham Cracker and 1/4 Chocolate.
- For the Graham – Often overlooked but always reliable, the graham cracker is more than a vehicle for chocolate and marshmallow—the notes of honey and cinnamon create the staple ingredient in any s’more creation. Start with a cold glass, add 1/2 Graham Cracker base, 1/4 Chocolate, 1/4 Toasty Marshmallow and top with an extra splash of Graham Cracker.
- The Chocolate Connoisseur – For those who enjoy indulging in a rich, gooey tasting s’more, pour some chocolate… and then pour some more! Sit back and revel in all that chocolaty goodness, marveling at this chocolaty s’more creation. Start with a cold glass, add 2/3 Chocolate, 1/3 Toasty Marshmallow and a splash of Graham Cracker.
If the idea of a wild-tasting Pepsi sounds familiar, you’ve probably seen some of the brand’s previous releases. In the past it’s put out a Maple Syrup Cola, Pepsi Apple Pie, Pepsi x Cracker Jack, and my personal favorite, PEPSI X PEEPS.
And if you don’t manage to snag one of the limited-edition kits but still want to try some odd-flavored soda, the company Rocket Fizz makes everything from a Marshmallow soda of its own to Cookie Dough and Butter-Flavored concoctions, and Lester’s Fixins has a PB&J, Ranch Dressing, and even a Corn soda available through its variety pack.
