Best Energy Drinks and Shots

I have reviewed a lot of energy drinks (300 +) on my blog and a lot of people ask me what the best energy drink is. Turns out, answering the question; "What is the Best Energy Drink" is not easy to do. Sure, I do have my personal favorites, but by no means would I classify any of them as the best because that can be somewhat of a personal opinion, especially when taste is involved. You personally have to determine what your favorite drink is. To help you out, here are some questions to ask yourself about what you are looking for in an energy drink. Are you looking for the strongest, best tasting or cheapest energy drink? What size are you looking for... 2 ounce shot or 32 ounce Monster? Or are you looking for a drink that will fill some other void? Below are some questions and categories that people usually associate with the best energy drink. Well I have given each one of those categories some thought and I hope it helps you to pick the best energy drink for yourself!

Best Tasting Energy Drink
Does taste drive you to purchase energy drinks? Because sometimes the strongest energy drinks taste like s**t! Here are a few drinks that I think taste pretty good.

1) Hype MFP
2) Vim & Vigor Citrus
3) Who's Your Daddy?
4) Vim & Vigor Berry
5) Energy 69

Strongest Energy Drink
Would your best energy drink be the strongest on the market? Would the strength of this drink be based on caffeine content or all around effectiveness? Here are a few of my personal favorites for strongest energy drinks.

1) Wired X505
2) 5-Hour Energy Review --- Buy 5 Hour Energy Online
3) Fixx Energy Drink
4) Redline Drink Review --- Buy Redline Energy Drink
5) Cocaine Energy Drink --- Buy Cocaine Energy Drink

Best Energy Shots
I may be different than some, but when looking for the best energy shot, I like a great taste and a powerful kick. These are my opinions of the best of the best when it comes to energy shots.
1) 5-Hour Energy - Extra Strength
2) OnGo - Lemon Lime
3) Crakshot

Best Energy Drinks for Breakfast
Looking for a good energy drink in the morning to replace your coffee, tea or juice? Here are a couple that I have reviewed so far that would fit well into this category.

1) Kaboom Orange Buzz
2) Phat Phruit Pinneaple Orange
3) Energy 69


Best Diet / Low Carb or Zero / Low Calorie Energy Drink?
Are you looking to cut back on calories or carbs, yet still get a good kick from an energy drink? Then check out my favorite low cal / diet drinks that taste good and provide a good kick.

1) Go Fast Light
2) Dare Devil - Lighter Fluid
3) Bazza High Energy Raspberry Tea

Best Organic / Natural Energy Drink
Looking for a healthy alternative, something made from natural or organice ingredients? The below beverages should suit your need for this.

1) Steaz
2) Diet Ronin
3) Hydrive w/Acai Berries


Best Value or Cheapest
If you consume a lot of energy drinks and are looking to lighten the load on your wallet, here are a couple that are a pretty good value.

1) Roaring Lion
2) Phat Phruit
3) BooKoo - 24 Oounces

Best Energy Drink for a Workout
After working 8-10 hours going to the gym can be a drag, especially if you don't have any energy. Here are a couple drinks that I like to use before or during a workout. These are usually less filling, lower carbonation, smaller sized drinks so that I don't feel like I am going to heave during the workout.

1) 5 Hour Energy
2) Go Fast Light
3) Redline (careful with this one when working out)

Best "Tea Based" Energy Drink
There are a lot of beverages out there that are going after the tea market as well. I have reviewed quite a few of these beverages that are tea flavored yet offer the kick of an energy drink. These are the ones that I have enjoyed the most so far.

1) Bazza High Energy Tea Great Flavor and Kick
2) Steaz Energy Good Flavor

As I mentioned before, these are just my opinions. I have only reviewed 300 or so drinks so this is not the tell all of lists. I am sure there are other drinks out there that would fit into the above categories. If you know any feel free to chime in and post a comment.

    I would watch how much caffeine you take everyday you will end up giving yourself "caffeine psychosis". Look it up. I'm not joking.

    Has anyone else seen/tried that Steven Seagal energy drink?
    It doesn't taste half bad.
    Neither does the Duff (like the beer from the Simpsons) energy drink.

    You should try XS energy drink. Great taste with many different flavors(I think that there are about 13 now). Low carbs, sugar, and calories. Reasonably priced compared to other mainstream energy drinks.

    I completely disagree with a lot of this..

    GURU is by far the best energy drink out there on many of the categories you listed. Since it is organic, gives you a nice kick, 0 jitters, non carbonated in some flavors, and filled with immune boosting supplements as well.

    Since trying GURU, I have lost interest in all the other drinks out there that are filled with harmful chemicals and what not

    i bought some new drink from 7-11 tonight.

    its called "hardcore energize bullet"
    and the label reads

    "Extremely Potent”, “Read label before drinking”, and “Must be 18 or over”.

    300mg of caffeine, and i read a couple of reviews that said the kick was TOO intense.
    i haven't tried it yet since i just had a NOS..
    try it out, id like to see the review.

    Don't drink an entire Wired X-505 in one sitting. It will make you sick for a couple of hours and then make you extremely wired for like 6 hours. I couldn't sleep all night cause I was too hyper.

    I'm an American living in Yemen and enjoy the wealth of energy drinks on the market here. Many of them are poorly marketed but the best has to be one called "Firer Horse". It's genuinely called Firer Horse. How they managed to get their product out the door with an obvious spelling error is beyond me but I think it's hilarious.

  22. efusjon Energy Club has introduced a product to the market that not only provides the consumer a beneficial healthier energy drink as well the opportunity for the average person to make a residual income through their amazing Matrix Compensation Plan.

    efusjon offers now 4 drinks to choose from (RAW, EDGE, BREEZE, DAWN). Raw offers one of the popular super fruits "Acai Berry". Then they came out with Edge still containing the Acai Berry with Caffeine. Breeze followed shortly after offering a tropical flavor of Passionfruit & Caffeine with the newest super fruit Mangosteen. Last is Dawn with a citrus taste, caffeine, and a ingredient called Quercetin a phytochemical which is the part of the coloring in red onions, apple skins, and prickly pears. It's a powerful antioxidant, natural anti-histamine, and anti-inflammatory.

    efusjon's energy drinks not only offer high antioxidants as well provide 250% Vitamin C, Omega (3,6,9) and contain no harsh chemicals or stimulants. Not only a source for natural energy but help fight fatigue & depression with their amazing ingredients all in one can. Definitely worth the investment!

  24. So, on your Spike Shooter review it said you still hadn't tried it, did I read it wrong? If not, I think you should. Definitely the most potent energy drink I have ever had, I am going to try Wired x-505 that you rated #1 for most potent. I was a huge fan of the 344 line, but FIVE HUNDRED FIVE MG of caffeine is just outrageously intense. Anyway, my main reason for the comment is for you to try Spike Shooter, or Spike Shotgun(more potency).

  25. Man I just got the Dr Max Powers Anabolic Stack in the mail and I couldnt believe the pump I got. I have been using supplements for years now off and on and I can tell you that this stuff is by far the best I have ever used. Not only does it work great for your workouts but I also i love th eway my skin looks. very recommended

    Just be sure to be cautious of the amount of caffeine intake in one day. Too much can\t be good! BUT taken properly energy drinks can give you that extra boost you need when sluggish!

    I've never really needed anything to stay awake all night but I just started university this term and now its a completely different story. Started of with lots of coffee, then moved on to Red Bull (which was weak stuff) and then to Monster (slightly less weak). Neither did much for me at all. No energy kicks, no adrenaline rush. Then my roommate gave me a bottle of Redline and wow, that stuff is potent. It tastes terrible but I stayed up all night and well into the night after that (2 servings taken with a 10 hour gap in between). So I've found my source of energy: Redline.

  29. You have taken a good amount of time to complete this list. I first want to thank you for that. After reading through some of the comments I see people definitely have their favorites. As do I, Crave Energy Drink. I just wanted to thank you again for putting this list together well done. Aaron

  33. All i have to say is XS energy drink. Nothing like it. Healthy and give you energy. Not through sugar and taurine but through vitamins. Best part only 8 calories and comes in 12 different flavors. Not to mention, they have caffiene free ones as well. Enough Said !!!!!!
