We have been longtime fans of the ready-to-drink teas Arizona has been producing for years. We have especially been drawn to the creative and attractive packaging used with the Arizona products. We saw the Arizona Caution energy drink in a local convenience store and decided to give it a test.

We found what was in the can much more interesting than what was on the can. Arizona Caution energy drink is a lightly (very lightly) carbonated beverage that contains 10% juice (pear, apple, peach, mango). We were surprised to learn after repeated sips that this drink contains only 10% juice...it tastes as if has much more juice content since the fruit flavor is so full. This beverage has a sweeter profile than most other energy drinks. We would imagine Arizona Caution energy drink would mix well with vodka/rum for a tropical alcoholic energy drink combo.

The energy kick was simply so-so. We felt a slight boost of energy shortly after drinking the beverage, but it was not what we would have expected. (It is an energy drink after all.)

The packaging of the drink is middle of the road, too. The can has two themes that jumped out at us: yellow and black graphics that reminded us of roadblock signs as well as a medical cross with the letters Rx in the center. Perhaps we had higher expectations of the packaging of this product; it just did not appeal to us like so many other Arizona beverages have in the past.
