Jimi Hendrix Energy Drink Review - Vodoo Vibe
Beverage Concepts, based in California has come out with the Jimi Hendrix Energy Drink called Vodoo Vibe. The Jimi Hendrix Liquid Experience line takes its name from Hendrix's 1967 album - Are You Experienced (which is great by the way). Although Hendrix died over 35 years ago (1970) he still manages to sell about 600,000 albums per year (in which I have contributed to that number). Not too shabby! Well the creation of this new drink seems to have outraged fans. Even though I am a fan of one of the greatest guitarists of all time, I am going to stay out of the debate on whether or not using Jimi's image to sell a product cheapens advertising and just review the energy drink.
Jimi Hendrix Energy Drink Review - Vodoo Vibe: Taste
Well first off this Jimi Hendrix energy drink, Vodoo Vibe, has a very light berry taste to it which is actually really refreshing. It was quite easy to finish off all 16 ounces as the mixed berry taste went down quite well. Now I reviewed Vodoo Vibe in the can but they also have it available in limited edition 16 ounce commemorative bottles for about $2.99 compared to the $2.49 for the 16 ounce can. The bottle actually looks pretty cool. Although this is the first flavor in the Jimi Hendrix Energy Drink lineup, there will be others. And for fun I thought I would make up some names and flavors. Feel free to add your own names and flavors as well. How about a lemon flavor called - Electric Lemon Land, or a passion fruit flavor called Purple Passion? Taste Rating - 8.8
Jimi Hendrix Energy Drink Review - Vodoo Vibe: Kick
Well the berry taste was pretty refreshing and the energy from Vodoo Vibe was pretty good as well. I have no idea how much caffeine is in the actual drink, but if any one knows feel free to post a comment so I can add it to the review. It didn't make me bounce off walls or send me into a Manic Depression as I still knew that I was on the Third Stone from the Sun, but overall I did enjoy the kick I got. This drink would make for a great study helper if you needed an all night cram session or had to stay up late for a Burning of the Midnight Lamp! Kick Rating - 8.7
Jimi Hendrix Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
Well the taste and kick are both pretty good. The price is the only thing that really needs any work. The MSRP looks like it will be any where from $2.49 - to $2.99. However, I did see that you can buy a case of this on their site for about $48.00 which would bring the cost down to $2.00 a can which would be much more competitive with the rest of the market. Final Judgment - 8.7

This is the best tasting energy drink ever!!! And it works too!! They also support the MusiCares Fund.
Great drink
The CEO of this company ( Josh Glass) is a crook. He has swindled his employees and investors a lot of money.

I just picked a case of this up at Costco for 20 bucks...yes thats under $1 per can, a great price for any energy drink.
Purple Haze would be a cool name for a grape/passion fruit one. I love the Voodoo Vibe one though, it is a great energy drink.
Wonderful, tasty and very refreshing. Actually it is better than Red " " you know! I was able to order two cases for our Memphis New Years Eve bash and we were out within two hours into the celebration. It is also great as a mixed drink, my personal opinion.
I can't wait until they start distributing it here in Memphis, TN
Fan for life with a life... “Selling to people who actually want to hear from you is more effective than interrupting strangers who don't.”
i picked up a 24 pack case of this at costco for 10 bucks, good taste and gives me a good buzz

This is very interesting that they are having a closeout sale at costco and the company is advertising for distributors in FL.
Could those that posted tell me when they bought it and what states please.
awesome the tall cans are on sale at the grocery store by my high school for like .69cents!
Energy Drinks are the wave of the future. Do I like Coffee NOPE, Do I like SODA ? NOPE, but I love nutritional value and the energy to go with it......As a mom with two sets of twins, one would imagine the amount of energy I NEED
