Americans love their energy drinks.
As energy drink popularity grows, so does the production.
I decided to taste test four energy drinks, ranging from full cans to shots.

In fact, when I think of energy drinks, this brand immediately comes to mind.
With that being said, I didn’t think the shot was anything worth bragging about.
However, I didn’t feel super energized, but only as if it was a small pick-me-up.

The interesting aftertaste it had also added to the reasons why I didn’t love this product.
So, overall, just an average energy shot.
The product is certified USDA Organic and consists of “clean caffeine” fromgreen teaand B vitamins.

It is also vegan and gluten-free.6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e
Where they lose points a bit is in their aftertaste and calories.
The shot bottle says that it’s a boost “without the weird chemical taste.”
I know most energy drinks do have a weird aftertaste, but this brand was no exception.

It may not have the “chemical” taste, but I couldn’t pinpoint what I was tasting.
It left me with a weird reaction every time I took a sip out of the bottle.
This small bottle was also 25 calories with 8 grams of carbs and 3 grams of sugar.

To me, it’s not worth it.
It did give points back for the flavor before the aftertaste.

Remedy+ The SHOT
I think the brand itself is a wonderful concept.
Remedy+ makes plant-based performance supplements that feature hemp-derivedCBD, which is included to help support recovery.
TheSHOTprovides 100 milligrams of caffeine from pure caffeine as well as ginseng and guarana.
It also features energizing ingredients like vitamin B12, the amino acid taurine, and ginkgo.
There is someresearchthat shows Ginkgo extracts may lead to a reduction in anxiety.
Fuel
That makes my top choiceG.O.A.T Fuel!
G.O.A.T stands for “greatest of all time,” so it seems fitting that this drink ranked best.
Indeed, this drink tasted like a gummy bear.
And the craziest part?
This sweet flavor has zero grams of sugar and is just 10 calories, which is a nice bonus.
