Frenchie: Reinventing Hydration

Frenchie is more than a cool name and a cute dog. It’s a brand new lifestyle beverage that doubles as an amazing alcoholic drink mixer. And all by design. Founder Justin McCabe recognized a need for a healthy mixer that would optimize hydration. Tired of the morning-after effects he experienced after entertaining clients, he sought to create an energy and hydration drink that also fit his healthy lifestyle. With the help of his wife, Shanna, and with the inspiration of their french bulldog, Frenchie was born.

Whether you’re recovering from a long night, gearing up for round two or just hitting the links, Frenchie is the perfect way to make sure your electrolytes are balanced without being bogged down by sugar and carbs. The formula comes from the World Health Organization’s guidelines for Oral Rehydration Solutions which optimizes your body’s retention of water and electrolytes. So, Frenchie not only maximizes your rate of rehydration but also allows you to make the most of the water you consume. And all under 20 calories!

At UCC, you can find Frenchie in the new signature drink, The Fox and the Hound. Full of orange and citrus flavors, Frenchie brings a bright, sparkling element to the drink, while still keeping it “skinny”. But the possibilities for amazing drinks don’t stop there.
