I recently got a visit from Dwanta clause and he gave me one of his zero sugar energy drinks. “Dwanta what is so special about this?” I asked. “Our energy fuels both the naughty and nice with 160mg of caffeine from green coffee & tea, electrolytes, amino acids, b & c vitamins, and camu camu extract” he replied. “Get out of my house you corporate shill” I responded.
I enjoy the caffeine level as I find that 200mg is a little overkill for me and I feel that most energy drinks aim for that target since it sounds nice. Taking out that 40mg makes a difference.
This is my second holiday energy drink of the season which is surprising to me. I saw Dwanta giving me that cheeky smile at my local HEB and I knew I had to respond. It’s holiday punch with fruit flavors which I was happy to see after my last energy drink being so secretive over its tasting profile.
Yes, it does have that fruit flavor with it leaning heavily on the cranberry side. Unfortunately, it also features that classic artificial energy drink flavor that really hinders the enjoyability of making it through the whole can. The best comparison I can make is of a cranberry ginger ale mixed with Red Bull. If that sounds good then I’d encourage you to give this a shot.
Does it feel like Christmas? Let’s just say I’m a believer in Dwanta Claus after today. I wouldn’t ask him for another gift, but I didn’t mind what he gave me.
