The Cheribundi brand, with its tart cherry line of products, is one of the most trusted names in sports recovery. Cheribundi's juice is an ideal addition to SYNERGY's high quality, real kombucha. The result is a Shirley Temple unlike any other: a delicious, immunity boosting, inflammation fighting taste of summer. What's inside UNITY x Cheribundi: Shirley Temple. A blend of kombucha with diverse probiotics, Cheribundi's antioxidant-rich tart cherry juice, completed by fresh pomegranate, lime, and orange juices, for a bright, refreshing drink that supports gut health, muscle recovery and inspires nostalgic childhood memories. This year's UNITY is the products first flavor update since 2018. "UNITY is more than a flavor. It represents our company's core belief that there's far more that unites us than divides us, and that we're always better together," says GT Dave, Founder and CEO of GT's Living Foods. "We always want to walk this walk by partnering with similarly-minded brands like Cheribundi, to create something that enhances how we connect and socialize. And I'm thrilled to be launching our new delicious flavor with even more health benefits for people to enjoy all summer long." "Our modern take on the Shirley Temple is grounded in the time-honored fermentation techniques that have made GT's Living Foods one of the most beloved brands in beverage. This can be enjoyed as part of a gut health ritual, a mocktail, or just every day on-the-go refreshment and nourishment." The limited-edition 16 oz bottle is wrapped in a vibrant pink, red and blue custom label, the artwork by Sol Cotti, an award-winning illustrator and visual artist. Her work for UNITY expresses the collaboration's messages of connectivity and wellness: two figures dancing together, their arms forming an infinity symbol to spotlight inner balance, timeless friendship, and belonging. "Tart cherry has been a recovery secret among elite athletes for years," said Marc Seguin, CEO of NextFoods, parent company of Cheribundi.
