Give Energy Drink, Mojito Grapefruit, 16-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)

I had first tried Give Energy - Mojito Grapefruit at my local health food hangout, and I was hooked. Unfortunately for them, they only sold it in single cans, so Amazon got my money. Anyhow, I know my way around energy drinks, and one of the measurements I use is "can it get me past two o'clock"? Most energy drinks fizzle out around noon (Arizona Health Tonic, here's looking at you); the ones that last are a little dangerous -- Monster Energy Mean Bean/Kona, NOS, and Full Throttle. Monster Energy leaves me with "payback" if I drink it two days in a row; NOS can make me twitchy; Full Throttle makes my irises twitch. The last one is downright scary and as a result, I don't drink it any longer (I suspect it is the combination of D-ribose and caffeine). Now, it should go without saying that the drink must not only work, but taste good! The original Rock Star, Monster Energy, and Red Bull drinks are not even contenders because of their taste.Enter Give Energy. First, it tastes good. If you've ever had a mojito, you'll recognize the taste. Now, it won't taste like a mojito you get at a good Mexican restaurant, but the vital combination of citrus and mint is here and the two balance one another out overall. Sometimes you taste more of the grapefruit; other times you taste more of the mint. Second, it works -- it gets me past the two o'clock crash. The energy you get is a clean, stimulant, awake and aware effect, with a gradual fade out and not a crash. I've found that if I have one in the morning after working out, and if I work out in the evening, then I'm good for the day. Consuming it this way doesn't interfere with your sleep, either. Finally, I felt like I got a good deal. Compare the price of this to a Monster Energy Mean Bean 12-pack and see what I mean.So all in all, Give Energy does the job, tastes good, can be consumed regularly, and has a great price. I would try a can before ordering the twelve-pack, though, just to make sure you like it first.

Flavor: 3/5This product has some sweet undertones of grapefruit, but has a prominent bitter flavor that would turn off most drinkers. It tastes more like medicine than the flavor it represents. (which doesn't bother me too much) Kind of reminds me of Beverly, though quite a bit sweeter. DEFINITELY AN ACQUIRED TASTE and for that purpose 3/5 stars.If you are afraid of forcing yourself to drink something the first few times, stay away from this drink!!!Kick: 4/5Not much to say here, it does what it's supposed to. Many energy drinks lack this trait.Idea: 5/5I love the idea of an all natural drink. Doesn't use nasty Corn Syrup. Donates to grassroots. Awesome.Overall: 4/5

I was drinking Rockstar for over 2 years and so got used to the taste of it. I decided that I want to switch to a more natural alternative. At first taste of this new drink seemed strange, but after a while I got accustomed to it. It tastes like carbonated watery fruit juice.I did have to buy taurine supplement separately because this energy drink doesn't contain that. Taurine keeps my blood pressure low and heart healthy.Update: after drinking this energy drink for about 6 month, I switched to Monster Tea + Energy & Runa No Sugar. I didn't pay attention to how much sugar they had, I thought I switched to natural and all great. I limit my sugar intake for a longer life. These are still great on occasion, but I wish they replaced sugar with stevia or erythritol.

This is a solid well rounded energy drink. The best part is the pick up from the drink. I have tired this both cold and warm. Please make sure you refrigerate otherwise the taste is a 2/10. The only reason I give this drink a 4/5 is because of the taste-even when cold. The energy is good, the company is great and its overall a great thing to have in the fridge when needing that extra boost.

I bought these for a few reasons. I liked the art work as well as theirphilosophy. The flavor was a bit weird... Like maybe they were over-reaching... It had a nice texture, which may sound weird to say about a drink, but youcould tell they used real sugar as opposed to corn syrup. The 'energy' part to it was a bit underwhelming. I don't think I will buy this type again.

If you are used to natural type energy drinks, then you will not be disappointed. Some individuals who have only ever drank commercially available energy drinks may find it a little disconcerting at first. The drink is not thoroughly saturated with sugar, though it is lightly sweetened. I highly prefer this in my energy drinks. While I like sugar, perhaps too much, I would rather not crash off a sugar high an hour into studying. I also find that they are easier on my stomach. I enjoy the taste, though I highly recommend that you drink them chilled. I usually alternate between one of these and another particular favorite of mine. And for anyone out there who has celiacs, the can is labeled as gluten free.

I bought this in the hopes of having a healthy to keep up energy throughout the day. But if you drink them consistently, rather than as once a week sort of thing, you'll probably start to have problems. After drinking my last one my heart start pounding and it wouldn't stop for the rest of the day. This stuff is no better, if not worse, then drinking Monsters or other energy drinks.​

I am not a fan of Mountain Dew, and that is exactly what this tastes like. The blueberry one is much better, I have drank way more of those. I just bought this one to try it, and now stuck with a 12 pack.
