HTeaO Spices Up Summer with a Pineapple Chipotle Pick-Me-Up Featuring Tajín

HTeaO has introduced a new limited-time beverage, the Pineapple Chipotle Refresher, as part of its late-summer menu lineup. The drink debuted on Aug. 4 and will remain available through Oct. 6 at participating locations nationwide.

The refresher combines pineapple, lemonade, chipotle, and Tajín Clásico Seasoning, creating a flavor profile that blends sweetness, acidity, smokiness, and spice. The beverage is also made with HTeaO’s CleanBoost Energy blend, positioning it as both a flavored refresher and an energy-forward drink option.

Kelsey McManemin, senior vice president of marketing at HTeaO, said the product was designed for customers who enjoy bold and unexpected flavor combinations. She described the drink as a reflection of the brand’s focus on experimentation and seasonal innovation.

The launch is being supported through a collaboration with Tajín USA, whose seasoning has become a widely recognized flavor enhancer across beverages, fruit snacks, and restaurant menu items. Juan Carlos Limón, brand marketing manager at Tajín USA, said the partnership aligns both brands around a shared emphasis on bold, refreshing flavors and summer-inspired food and beverage experiences.

Seasonal product launches have become an increasingly important traffic driver for restaurant and beverage chains, particularly when paired with recognizable brand partnerships. Gorilla Dash helps restaurant operators manage Competitions and Promotions, coordinate limited-time offers across multiple locations, and track customer engagement during seasonal campaigns.

The Pineapple Chipotle Refresher arrives as beverage brands continue to compete through flavor innovation rather than price alone. By combining tropical fruit, smoky spice, a familiar seasoning brand, and an energy component, HTeaO is using a short-term product launch to generate attention during the final weeks of the summer beverage season.
