'''Tampico Beverages''' is an American manufacturer of bottled fruit-flavored drinks and [gelatin](/source/gelatin). It is available in the United States and more than 50 countries around the globe.

==History==
Founded in 1989, Tampico Beverages began with a single flavor, Citrus Punch. By the early 1990s, they had secured their first international licensee in [Mexico](/source/Mexico). The company continued to add flavors and work with licensees to add new package sizes and formats. Tampico now provides concentrate to licensees in over 50 countries.<ref name="tampicoSite">{{cite web|title=About Tampico |url=http://www.tampico.com/about| website= tampico.com| publisher=Tampico Beverages| accessdate=14 October 2014}}</ref>

In 2018, Tampico launched its logo rebrand for the first time in 11 years.<ref>{{cite magazine| title= A Punch of Fun: Tampico Beverages unveils its first brand redesign in more than a decade that offers a 'fun, adventurous and uplifting aesthetic.'| year= 2018| work= Retail Merchandiser| volume= 58| number= 5| pages= 56–57}}</ref>

==Products==
In 2005, Tampico introduced ''Tampico Plus,'' a product that included 50% less sugar than the original product.<ref>{{Cite web |date= 2019-04-30 |title=Tampico Beverages addresses consumer sugar concerns with new launch: 'This is our entry into zero-sugar' |url= https://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/Article/2019/04/30/Tampico-Beverages-addresses-consumer-sugar-concerns-with-recent-launch/ |website= FoodNavigator-USA.com |language=en |access-date=2025-04-30}}</ref>

As of 2014, Tampico's products were as follows.<ref>{{cite web|title=Products|url=http://www.tampico.com/products| website= tampico.com| publisher=Tampico Beverages |accessdate=14 October 2014}}</ref>  In the US, these are labeled as a type of soft drink with the word "[punch](/source/punch_(drink))".  The words "fruit" or "juice" do not appear because the bulk consists of water, sugar, and flavoring, with only tiny proportions of fruit juice.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tampico.com/products/punch/citrus-punch|title=Citrus Punch| website= tampico.com| publisher=Tampico Beverages |accessdate=April 1, 2019}}</ref>
