Chipotle Introduces New Refreshing Beverage Lineup Featuring Poppi, Open Water, and Coke Zero Nationwide

Chipotle fans would agree that there’s nothing better than an ice-cold beverage while enjoying their famous burritos. These drinks act as palate cleansers, refreshing the taste buds and enhancing the flavors of the food.

Chipotle Mexican Grill has rolled out a new ready-to-drink beverage assortment, including Poppi, Open Water, and Coke Zero. These refreshing new additions allow fans to savor the last few weeks of summer. They are now available at all Chipotle restaurants nationwide for dine-in, takeout, or delivery.

What makes these beverages unique? Since its inception in 1993, Chipotle has believed that fast food doesn’t have to be traditional. This philosophy led them to create a menu with high-quality ingredients, classic culinary techniques, and chef-driven specials that redefine fast food.

According to Fast Food Club, Chipotle has continued to innovate in recent years. Four years ago, they introduced their Beverages with Integrity initiative, serving non-GMO and all-natural certified Aguas Frescas and Lemonades created with Tractor Beverage Co. Additionally, five percent of the profits from these beverages are donated to support farming communities.

Stephanie Perdue, Vice President of Brand Marketing at Chipotle, stated that the perfect drinks enhance the flavor of a Chipotle meal. She added that their ready-to-drink beverages would appeal to guests’ love of unique flavors and healthy mindsets.

Chipotle Partners with Poppi for Guilt-Free Sodas and Open Water for Sustainable Packaging

Sodas are often seen as the perfect beverage to accompany Mexican food, providing a unique kick that enhances the meal. Now, Chipotle is partnering with Poppi to offer guilt-free soda options. Poppi combines fruit juice and prebiotics to create health-friendly sodas with five grams of sugar or less and 25 calories or less.

Chipotle and Poppi are offering Strawberry, Lemon, and Orange soda flavors. The culinary team has also created perfect entrée pairings to complement these sodas:

• Poppi Strawberry Lemon: Best paired with the Chicken Salad with roasted chili-corn salsa, fajita vegetables, and chipotle honey vinaigrette. The tanginess of the soda complements the sweet and spicy flavor of the vinaigrette.

• Poppi Orange: This is best paired with the Steak Quesadilla, which comes with sides of guacamole, hand-chopped cilantro-lime white rice, and fresh tomato salsa. The steak's adobo seasoning stands out when matched with the citrus flavor of the soda.

“Chipotle’s Beverage With Integrity” campaign also focuses on earth-friendly packaging. Partnering withOpen Water, a female-owned and LGBTQIA+-founded business, Chipotle aims to eliminate ocean plastic pollution by offering recyclable, Climate-Neutral certified, 16-ounce aluminum bottled water. Open Water has brought nearly 3,500 products to different restaurants, with Chipotle being its largest restaurant partner yet.

A portion of Open Water sales from Chipotle will support agriculture projects for the health of coastal waters. By purchasing Open Water products, guests help save the environment and donate to regenerative agriculture projects.
