    I've tried a lot of hydration powders, and Desert Drip is hands down the best. Unlike other brands, it isn't overly salty or loaded with an artificial aftertaste.

    The flavor blew me away. Not only did I love it but my 7 and 4 yr old chugged it down. We live in Florida and I can barely get them to drink water. Whole house approved.

    I drank Desert Drip on the beach in the Cayman Islands and it was perfect. Super refreshing, easy to drink all day, and kept me hydrated.

    I will be the first to admit I am ridiculously picky about what I drink - it was awesome! I ended up just letting him have a sip and I drank the whole thing!

    I hike a lot and in this heat I need all the electrolytes I can get. This was easy to just pour into my jug of water, shake it up and I had a drink that really quenched my thirst.

    It is not sweet or too salty as others sometimes can be. Very clean ingredients.

How It Started

An idea from the back nine.

It started with cactus water, a hot round of golf, and a buddy who liked to drink.

  1. The discovery

    After moving to Utah and spending more time outdoors, Jon discovered prickly pear drinks at a local grocery store. He loved the taste.

  2. The idea

    Jon brought cactus water to the course. His buddy gave him a hard time about the health-food-looking bottle, which got Jon thinking: could cactus water be more mainstream, easier to carry, and ready whenever you needed it?

  3. The stick pack

    Jon teamed up with Michael, a PhD chemical engineer, to create Desert Drip—their first product launch. Prickly pear fruit, aloe vera, and five electrolytes became a portable powder stick.

  4. What’s next

    Desert Drip is the beginning. The long-term plan is to source natural ingredients from the world’s deserts—some of the harshest environments on Earth—and bring them to everyone through products made for everyday wellness.

Cactus fruit, five electrolytes, and a drink mix made to travel.
