If you're a McDonald's fan, your wildest dreams are about to become a reality. Okay, maybe that's a little extreme - but no matter what, you won't want to miss this one. Starting April 27, you can finally get a McDonald's Big Mac Sauce without the Big Mac. Yes, for the first time ever, you can enjoy your favorite sauces in the order you like them, no matter what they are. The side dish won't be available for long, though, so if you want to get the special sauce, here's what you need to know.
Step aside sweet and sour sauce, because there's a new condiment king in town. Well, sort of. The specialty Big Mac Sauce has been around for 55 years, but on April 27, fans will be able to get the delicious side in packaged form for the first time. The famous sauce has a unique blend of sweet and tangy flavors with a creamy texture to match, and comes in retro-style blue and silver packaging that's reminiscent of the old-school foil Big Macs wrapped in the past. McDonald's Big Mac Sauce will be available at participating locations for a limited time while supplies last. In other words: You're going to want to grab a glass (or two, or three) of the highly anticipated sauce as soon as possible before it's gone forever.
Don't expect to just head to your local Mickey D's and order the sauce yourself, though. To enjoy the specialty sauce, you must place your order through the McDonald's app and add it as a side or a la carte item before confirming your purchase. Get a free Big Mac sauce with your purchase of Chicken McNuggets. If you prefer Filet-O-Fish or Mackie, you'll have to order a side dish to go with your favorite menu item.
It's unclear if there will be a limit on how much sauce you can order at one time, but if there is, that number is probably pretty low considering McDonald's limited-edition drippings tend to sell out quickly (looking at you, happy adult meals meal). If you're obsessed with sauces, you can always try making your own version at home long after the side dish is gone, thanks to this copycat recipe that's packed with mayonnaise, relish, mustard, and more.
