[Trader Joe's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truffle-flavored-bbq-sauce) Cold Brew Coffee BBQ Sauce is made with a base of tried-and-true ingredients that are enhanced with [cold brew coffee concentrate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-spiced-coffee) and savory seasonings to elevate everything from burgers and ribs to nuggets and tenders. The product's well-balanced flavors make the most of ingredients like dark brown sugar, tomato paste, molasses and apple cider vinegar, which work alongside the boldness of the coffee and spices like onion, garlic, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika and chile de arbol, which add a hint of heat.

The unexpected barbecue sauce from Trader Joe's promises to capture the interests of meat lovers and coffee enthusiasts alike, and it offers a unique twist on [classic barbecue sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rufus-teague-x-garage-beerbq-sauces) that taps into coffee's naturally strong and smooth taste.
