Red Rhinos

Active ingredients: Taurine, B6, B12, Caffine, Glucose

This couldn't more of a rip off of redbull. See the thing is that it rips it off all so well that you could barely tell the difference. I mean you can mix as much 60% at least and you can party it keeps you up and rocking for a long time which is awesome. It might be a little more fruity than redbull but not much more. It might be a little more bubble gum like than red bull but not much more. It is definitely energy which is cool. It kicks you in the ass and makes you want to dance. I like the taste i love the covering and i like the energy this goes up as the best redbull cover that currently exists. Others might taste as good but they are very different this is just red bull in a different can.

This isn't bad if your looking for a redbull imitation this isn't a bad choice especially in Mexico where it is more available than red bull. It has the normal almost natural energy drink taste that we have come to know and love. I mean this tastes like a energy drink should. it is pretty sweet though. It also doesn't cover the alcohol very well. It probably covers about 30% which isn't to bad and honestly i would have to say it covers better than most of what i have drank this trip. Not bad definitely worth a try the energy isn't bad at all. Seriously it is good energy it makes me want to run around and dance.

This drink is a odd flavor. I don't exactly know how to describe it. It isn't bad it isn't good it just is there. I guess i kinda like the flavor because it is interesting. The drink also does well on covering alcohol probably a 40% mixture would be OK. It does have an odd after taste that i noticed more with alcohol mixed in the drink. It wasn't a big deal though. Perhaps it isn't a problem. The energy levels given off by this drink are pretty good it definitely got me ready to rock out. I was feeling a slower less pumped energy from the drink all night. It definitely would keep you awake and would possibly make a good study drink since it really kept you awake with out making me as jittery and hyper as some other drinks have. So study away and if you see it grab a Bomba sometime and give it a try. It comes in a little glass grenade container. Looks like piss but really doesn't taste like it.

Reanimator naranja
Cost: ??? Mexican pesos (8.3 oz)
Active ingredients: Ginseng, C, Caffeine, Glucose

By far this is the best for hiding alcohol of the 3 I had today (MC2 and B3). It can handle 50 50 mix like it is nothing it might be able to take a 60 40 mix. This isn't the best tasting regularly but it still tastes better than B3. It doesn't quite have a taste that is as good as Mc2 which was really good tasting. Worth giving a try if you can find it definitely.

Mc 2

this covers the alcohol better than b3 and it is really pretty good for flavor the best of the three i am trying tonight. the flavor tastes bubble gummy it is sugary but doesn't taste like just sugar. It isn't too bad. I like this one i bet it could take about 40% alcohol. as a mix. This is worth having especially if you just like energy drinks and don't care about mixing with alcohol.

Lipovitan b3 Energy drink

No way 50 50 go for like 25% and the taste of the pure drink aren't that good. Very bubbly gummy with a boring watered down after taste. It seem to have a decent kick of energy though even though I am not in the right state to review it.. Needs more flavor less sugar. Not really worth the effort to find. This energy drink is just like kool aide, but lamer, anyways I don't really recommend this drink to anyone, unless you just feel like trying something new.

Elements Sub-Zero
Cost: $1.25 (18 oz) (sale)
Active ingredients: Ginseng, Guarana, Caffine, Glucose
Rating: 5 (out of 10)
Alright I am getting pissed at the no energy in Elements. This wasn't horrible but also it isn't a real energy drink. Also it isn't great at covering the taste of alcohol only being able to take 30% vodka before letting the flavor suck. This doesn't taste as bad as some others, it just is going to loose to the fact that i now hate Elements. All of them! I might have to lower the scores to the first two. If you want to get that kick we know and love stick with stuff that has Taurine and Caffeine and avoid ginseng and Guarana. I actually like drinks that have them all but those two just don't keep you up and full of energy.
