Gush, made from 100% Korean pear juice, launched in Connecticut and Rhode Island. For centuries, Korean pear juice has been traditionally consumed before alcohol to keep the body in equilibrium, with modern science substantiating its effectiveness. Gush is packed with electrolytes and flavonoids that stimulate alcohol-metabolizing enzymes in the body. The nonalcoholic drink is preservative-free, not-from-concentrate Korean pear juice, sourced from Korean orchards, with no added sugar and “no artificial anything.” Gush is meant to be consumed “before a first drink,” 15 to 30 minutes prior for best results, offering hydration, natural electrolytes and “liver-loving” antioxidants. Gush partnered with TerraCycle to make its single-serving, 4-ounce drink pouches recyclable. Gush is also vegan, non-GMO and gluten-free. Gush is available via Star Distributors in Connecticut and in Rhode Island, via Horizon Beverage Co.
