Arby's latest sandwich is so spicy it comes with a milkshake, according to a press release.

The sandwich, made with brisket or chicken, is comprised of five sources of spice: ghost pepper jack cheese; fiery hot seasoning; fire-roasted jalapeños, and Diablo BBQ sauce served on a toasted red chipotle bun.

The LTO sandwich starts $5.99 and comes with a free 12-ounce vanilla shake to help, well, shake the heat.

"We Diablo Dare you to try this new sandwich," Patrick Schwing, chief marketing officer of Arby's, said in the release. "This is not a sandwich for the faint of heart. Everyone in QSR says they have a spicy option, but our research tells us that consumers are disappointed by fast food claims of spicy. We took that as a challenge by making sure all different types of spicy — the hot, the numbing, and the lingering are combined to make the Diablo Dare a true test of how much heat you can handle. Arby's is setting a new standard of spice — when we say it, we mean it."

The sandwich and shake combo is available through Feb. 6 at participating locations.
