McDonald’s is debuting two new drinks, and Californians are getting an exclusive first taste.

The Cold Brew and Marble Cold Brew will be tested at participating McDonald’s restaurants in Southern California for a limited time starting this week, the national burger chain announced.

The new Cold Brew features “a signature blend of Arabica beans, slow steeped to deliver a smooth and strong flavor, served black over ice,” according to a product description.

Those with a taste for something sweeter can get the Marble Cold Brew, made with cold brew over ice and “mixed with McDonald’s new creamy syrup,” according to the restaurant. It’s then topped with an extra swirl of cream.

The beverages rolled out at both company- and franchisee-owned locations across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura counties, The Press-Enterprise reported, citing a news release.

Both are available to order in-store, at the drive-thru or on McDonald’s mobile app while supplies last, according to KSWB. Pricing information was not immediately available.

It’s unclear if there are plans to expand the drinks to restaurants nationwide.
