Two Hamilton Icons Unite: Collective Arts and Dawson’s (Hot Ones Alumni) Fiery Summer Releases

Collective Arts x Dawson’s Hot Sauce & Cocktail Collaborations

Briefing Note - August 2024

This summer, two iconic Hamilton brands—Collective Arts and Dawson’s Hot Sauce—have teamed up to create the season's hottest collaboration. The result? A deliciously spicy crossover that blends the art of craft beverages with the fiery expertise of Dawson’s Hot Sauce.

The partnership began with Collective Arts launching their Spicy Pineapple Margarita, a bold cocktail crafted with a custom habanero mash. This limited-edition drink quickly became a summer hit, selling out both online and in stores within weeks. Featuring a potent 12% ABV, pineapple, lime, and agave, this cocktail is perfectly balanced with just the right amount of habanero heat.

Adding to the fire, Dawson’s has also released a limited-edition hot sauce that captures the essence of the Spicy Pineapple Margarita. This tropical sauce combines pineapple, habanero, and the original Margarita blend, delivering a flavour-packed experience with a spicy kick.
