5-hour Energy regularly releases energy drinks, but this summer, they’re spicing things up by offering a new item inspired by energy drinks!
As summer continues, 5-hour Energy introduces a new energy drink-inspired item: energizing BBQ sauce. Both the pros and the newbies are highly likely to get a shot at owning the grill throughout the season. Like what you’d expect from the brand’s products, the new summer item is unique but a perfect addition you could have. The Peach Mango flavor with 60 milligrams of caffeine per serving is what we could picture with this new product, unique yet interesting and in line with the brand’s vision.
With its distinct taste, I’m sure a lot would get interested and curious about trying the new sauce, but to make this even more exciting, 5-hour Energy partnered with the BBQ and Chili expert Brian Baumgartner, who happened to be the character behind Kevin from the hit series, ‘The Office.’

This BBQ sauce pairs perfectly with anything from steaks to giant pots of chili. More details on how people can get their own bottle in time for the 4th of July grilling are below.
