Liquid I.V. is helping pickle lovers stay hydrated with the debut of its new Hydration Multiplier Grillo’s pickles flavor.
What started as an April Fool's Day joke quickly turned into a very real product as Liquid I.V. realized the incredible demand for a pickle-flavored hydration mix. Determined to give consumers what they want, Liquid I.V. teamed up with Grillo’s Pickles for a limited-edition drop.
Exclusively available from liquid-iv.com, the new Hydration Multiplier Grillo’s pickles flavor boasts a carefully optimized ratio of electrolytes, essential vitamins, and nutrients that help to turn water into an extra-hydrating beverage. However, this particular version of the Hydration Multiplier features a tangy, briney, and slightly sweet flavor, with notes of cucumber, vinegar, and dill. In other words, it's like a souped-up pickle juice.
