Mine is Red Bull. It has a very sweet taste to it, that's almost like a Lime Popsicle and it brings back the happier Memories from my Childhood. It also perks me up and keeps me happy.

Most the energy drinks I have tried taste nasty. I think ice tea is enough for me.

The ingredient list of energy drinks I read do not contain any energy boosting
agents other than caffiene and sugar. Most the other crap has no energy boosting
effect.

If I was making an energy drink it would contain an amino-acid that gives energy
like L-phenylalanine not some useless tarurine(spelled wrong).

:twisted: GATORADE!! !! :twisted:

TheMachine1 is right. Even Gatorade doesn't really have anything in it. I really liked the Grape but it was discontinued (they have another brand that has a good approximation), now I just drink the fruit punch sometimes. I also drink much CocaCola. If I knew how to make ice tea I would make it and drink a lot, but the instructions were giving to me verbally (two or three times), and I essentially at once.

None of the energy drinks with the "rad" names, though.

Lately I've been using Lipton's cold brew tea. Take one family size tea bag and place it in about 16 oz off tap water(room temp) then dunk it every now and then for 3-5 minutes (I go 5 minutes and dunk often unless i'm working on something else). Next I fill a 16 oz glass with ice. I tend to rinse my ice with water to improve its taste. Next pour half the brewed tea into the cup of ice
(refigerate the other half). I then add more water if needed to make the cup
full. I add two packets of Splendia. In the past i have used lime or lemons but I
think i like tea better without it.
The other way is to boil water (maybe 8 oz) then brew 3-5 minutes. Then
add then add half the liquid to the 16 oz cup of ice. You will have to add more
ice to get the cup full and cool.

I like all the above mentioned drinks, but nothing makes me feel quite the same as a Starbucks Doubleshot from the small can.

I usually don't have available energy drinks, so if I need energy I usually drink a caffeinated soda. It is sweet and good and helps one if they need to pull an all nighter.

I could never drink Red Bull or any of those guarana based drinks. The taste was wierd to me.
However I do like blue Powerade, Coke and red cordial :P

Red Bull must be different in the UK because the US Red Bull tastes like liquid Sweet Tarts.

Personally I like Monster or green Powerade.
