Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) is launching a new drink called the Chile Mocha.

The coffee beverage is perhaps the most exotic creation that the restaurant has ever created, made of espresso with your favorite milk. Additionally, it comes with cocoa, cinnamon powder, whipped cream and the exclusive Starbucks Chile Mocha combination.

The mixture includes ancho and cayenne pepper, paprika, cinnamon, sugar and sea salt. The drink comes at a similar time as the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte, which is back in Starbucks locations as of Thursday.

The Chile Mocha will be rolled out on Tuesday, September 6th, but members of the company’s Rewards program will be able to try it as of Saturday, September 3rd. The beverage is not as sweet as your average cafe drink, but it does have more of a zest than you would expect from Starbucks.

The coffee giant recently announced the launch of its FoodShare program, which will eventually recycle 100% of the company’s unused meals and use them to feed those in need. The service is being rolled out in San Diego first following a successful test.

Starbucks has also expanded the options of ingredients you can apply to your drink, including the addition of almond milk to its menu. Perhaps the Chile Mocha will be a tad sweeter with the vegan option.

SBUX stock is down 0.4% Friday.
