MOONSHOT Sparkling Lite Pomegranate Energy Drink • 30% Juice • 85mg Caffeine • Pure Cane Sugar + Stevia • No Artificial Flavors, Sweeteners, Colors or Preservatives • All Natural Energy

I'm not much of a coffee drinker, I prefer my caffeine fruit-flavored and carbonated. I'm not big on artificial flavors or HFCS either. So when I saw Moonshot it was immediately intriguing. Previously my beverage of choice was Amp or Mountain Dew, because they're flavored with orange juice (it's true, check the label!). Moonshot beats them hands down.I first purchased their variety pack, 2 each of 6 flavors. Not everything was my cup of tea, but I was impressed by how bright and flavorful they all were, even the Lite Pomegranate. Stevia is better than aspartame or Nutraweet, but I'm afraid I'm addicted to good old sugarcaine. The Lite Pomegranate was okay, but didn't really hit the spot for me. I gave the 2nd can to a co-worker, who thought it was "too sweet". Oh, well. Honey Peach and Coconut Pineapple were both quite good but not my personal preference. Peach is a flavor I really have to be in the mood for, and while there was nothing wrong with Coconut Pineapple, it just didn't grab me the way some of the other flavors did.The Sour Apple really surprised me. If sour is your thing then this is the flavor for you, they balanced the sour against the sweet just perfectly. Nice to get that strong of a sour flavor without your tongue getting beaten up like it does with sour candy.The Tart Cherry is great! Although I do have to confess I didn't like it at first. The first can I tried while I was eating something that kind of masked the flavor, and I was really disappointed. I'm a big fan of cherry and it seemed like the flavor was almost non-existent. The second can was much better. The flavor really comes through in the after taste, so it's better to sip this one. Which I have to constantly remind myself, as I have a tendency to guzzle it if I'm not paying attention. Slower drinking is rewarded with greater flavor.Ah, but my favorite is the Orange Grapefruit. I'm a citrus guy; orange, lemon, lime, and grapefruit are all right in my wheelhouse. I don't drink orange juice so much as I inhale it. And while I like grapefruit sodas like Squirt, I've never been able to enjoy grapefruit or grapefruit juice the way I do other citrus. Moonshot has done the miraculous (to me), their Orange Grapefruit is perfectly balanced so I get a strong grapefruit flavor without the bitter aftertaste. I drank the first can in amazement, then the second warily in case it was a fluke (it wasn't). When I finished the variety case I ordered a case of the Orange Grapefruit, and enjoyed every can.Moonshot is an energy drink, and it doesn't disappoint there, either. It wakes me up without making me feel jittery like I get from other energy drinks sometimes. I kind of wish the cans were bigger, but that's just because I'm greedy. It's actually nice that it's a 1 serving can and not 2. And maybe the 12 ounce size is why I don't get the jitters, so there's that. My biggest complaint is it's not available locally, but that's my fault for not living in Austin, I guess. And I can get them from Amazon (obviously) so even that isn't that big a deal.All in all, a really good product. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I am always exhausted and need to give up caffeine completely again but until then these can help me kick the crap habit of Monsters (rehab ones at least). I've tried to many "natural" and "organic". All taste pretty awful or artificially sweet though it's stevie or something similar.Now until I can get back into making my cold brewed organic coffee I have these and they are delicious. I was joking with hubby the coconut pineapple just needs some rum and a mini umbrella. It's healthier than any mix that's for sure.Seems to give me adequate caffeine to avoid my addiction headache and get through my day but it's not the massive overload I'd get from a monster.We got the variety pack. So far I love the tart cherry and coconut pineapple best. Have also tried the lite pomegranate which has half the carbs but isn't as good probably because it has less juice to accomplish less carbs. It's not bad, just a bit watery. I could get used to it.Hubby likes the honey peach which I haven't tried yet. I usually hate "peach" because it's some nasty fake flavoring so I am optimistic I will like this with the natural flavors and juice.Oh and living in Austin I love supporting a local company.

I ordered 2 days ago and received it today. The flavor was good, as I am a huge fan of coconut and of pina colada flavors in general. The energy effect was not too noticeable to me. I don't usually drink energy drinks, but have coffee from time to time. I would have expected more of a boost, but I am sleepy 5 hours after drinking this. I felt like I had a soda and nothing more. The flavor was the only thing that I liked.Updated review: I increased from 3 stars to 4 stars and even ordered another case. As I mentioned before, I like the pina colada flavor a lot. The next can I tried, made a noticable difference. More energy and alertness on the subsequent cans. I will try out the apple flavor on my future order.

Ok I am a Energy Junkie it's become a habit of mines so I am always searching for the next good energy drink and let me tell you these Moonshot drinks are great now me I tend to drink 4 or more energy drinks a day (unhealthy I know)so i wasn't looking for too much of a boost Because at this point I believe besides RedLine there isn't a canned energy drink that can give me the boost I need due to my high tolerance but I was looking for great flavor and reasonable cost I ordered the Coconut/Pineapple because I'm a sucker for anything Coconut and it was perfect the flavor the texture the everything I killed that case in a week I also ordered the Tart Cherry per a review on Amazon at the same time and they were good as well I will be buying these monthly like I was doing with Red Bull(Coconut Berry/Beach Breeze) and Monster(Mango Loco)I drink at least a case a month so these come in handy due to the reasonable price I can order multiple cases for what it would cost me for the other brands I named I'm not talking these drinks up but they are great tasting if your in the market for something new and you're tired of Monster Amp Rockstar NOS Red Bull etc then these are just right for you.

Ehhh, a colleague indicated "cherry Robitussin flavor" was likely the taste of these before I tried them, I said no, I picked these as tart cherry meant a clean crisp flavor. He was pretty close, not terrible flavor but as Jim Carrey said in Liar Liar -- I've had better. . Gives the lift of a comparable sized Red Bull, but the high calories and flavor leave something to be desired. For me, maybe it's the calories, but it's a very filling drink, so if you're looking to drink it in 15-20 minutes to get a lift you may not need to eat for a while.
