Nico Tortorella drops in on Halsted Street with DER

Along with new generations, a growing majority of the population is now beginning to embrace liquor-free options when socializing. Some of this decrease in consumption grew from the pandemic lockdown when people were forced indoors and didn't want to partake alone. Health and wellness are other reasons for the movement. Pairing that with age and a decrease in tolerance has resulted in the ending of beverage bad habits for some drinkers.

Along comes DER as a new choice for those who don't imbibe. DER is an acronym for “Drink, Enjoy, Repeat” and is a Kratom-based product. Kratom is a plant found in Southeast Asia that produces euphoric effects. It can be consumed in a variety of ways, such as in a potion like DER that's mixed in as an extract. This natural supplement can help assist with opioid withdrawal, pain relief, energy boosts and mood enhancement. One can feel the effects quickly after sipping on a can of DER and the taste is similar to a bubbly soda water. It's infused with hop flavoring and described as a "botanical brew."

Gender fluid actor Nico Tortorella is from Wilmette, Illinois, and is known for television shows such as Younger and The Walking Dead: World Beyond. He is the creator and co-founder of DER. Find his face and resume right there on the 30 milligram can as this liquid refreshment goes down the hatch. The high can last anywhere from two to six hours, depending on the amount of consumption.

On October 16, Tortorella and his team attended a special three-hour event at CBD Kratom North Halsted, 3436 N. Halsted St. The Lakeview pop-up captured the spirit of DER with games and a huge inflatable can in front of the store to draw attention to the party. Attendees were treated to samples and a buffet of food served in a social setting. Nico posed for pictures with fans and hyped up his brand-new liquid endeavor.

For those who missed out on the festivities, a package of DER can be discreetly shipped to your house by visiting korthalscollection.com.
