McDonald's is releasing two sauces for a limited time only. The Chicago-based burger brand announced Tuesday the sauces will release Oct. 9, according to a press release

The saucy additions are McDonald's Sweet & Spicy Jam and Mambo Sauce.

According to the brand, McDonald's Sweet & Spicy Jam Sauce is a "jammy red pepper sauce with a tongue- numbing Szechuan peppercorn kick and extra heat from cayenne pepper; finished with apple cider vinegar." McDonald's Mambo Sauce is a "tomato-based, sweet, spicy and vinegary sauce; inspired by the regional Washington, D.C. area sauce staple."

"We get inspiration for the food our fans love by exploring the incredible tastes and flavors found in communities across the country," Tariq Hassan, chief marketing and customer experience officer at McDonald's USA, said in the release. "Sweet & Spicy Jam and Mambo Sauce live at the intersection of flavor and culture — pulling from decades of rich food history and tradition in local restaurants and home kitchens, and bringing the delicious spice, sweetness and kick of heat we know today's customers are craving. To celebrate their arrival, we're passing the mic to some of our biggest sauce fans — food content creators — to get their authentic reactions from the very first, drizzle, dip and bite."

McDonald's operates 13,500 U.S. restaurants.
