Luckin Coffee has joined forces with Kweichow Moutai, the maker of China’s fiery（辛辣的） national liquor baijiu, for an unusual offering: alcoholic lattes.

瑞幸咖啡与贵州茅台强强联合，贵州茅台是中国白酒的制造商（同位语），for引导合作的目的，供应了一种不同寻常的产品—带酒精的拿铁。

The popular Chinese coffee chain rolled out the so-called “sauce-flavored latte” with a jolt of liquor for 38 yuan on Monday. 

瑞幸这家知名咖啡连锁品牌在周一推出了所谓的带一点酒味的”酱香拿铁“，售价38元。

The “sauce” in the name is an apparent reference to the slightly savory notes of Moutai’s liquor that has been compared by some drinkers to soy sauce.

"酱香拿铁"中的“酱”明显指的是茅台酒轻微香型带辛辣的口感，一些人会把这种味道跟酱油对比。
