The first Taco Bell cold brew lineup has officially been introduced to Live Más Cafés to bring a flavor-forward, premium experience to everyday coffee routines. This new lineup, pairing full-bodied Cold Brew with flavorful Cold Foams, is led by the Purple Velvet Cream Cold Foam in Taco Bell's signature hue. This creamy drink is infused with warm horchata notes, enhancing a rich cold brew base prepared with a proprietary blend of medium and dark roast Arabica beans. Other easy-drinking options on the menu include the Caramel Dulce Cream Cold Brew with buttery notes and the Vanilla Cream Cold Brew.
Taco Bell's first-ever Cold Brew lineup, now exclusively available at Live Más Café locations in Houston, Dallas, Las Vegas and Southern California, advances its goal of reaching $5 billion in beverage sales by 2030.
