XO + Vanilla Energy Drink Review
Another long day at the office (10+ hours) and I still need to make it to the gym which is why I grabbed the XO + Vanilla Energy Drink. This would be my third (of seven total) review on the XO Energy Drink line up. Why did I choose XO + Vanilla before going to the gym. Actually there is a couple reasons. First off, I have tried two XO products before (they all seem to have the same energy ingredients) and they gave me the quick energy I needed for the gym. Second, it's a small, portable 180 milliliter (6 ounce) shot that you can slam quickly and can consume at room temperature. This means I can leave it in my car and drink it after I leave work on the way to the gym. Sometimes I forget my energy drink in the office fridge, which really doesn't help. Allright, enough fluff, let's try the XO + vanilla Energy Drink.

XO + Vanilla Energy Drink Review: Taste
Well first off the label "Vanilla" on the drink prepared me for the taste. The name on the bottle is definitely true to the taste. It has a very strong vanilla flavor that seems to go down extremely smooth (no carbonation), especially since it is only 6 ounces. It kind of reminds me of a potent home made vanilla shake. I know every once in awhile I tell you about a unique flavor, then I end up trying another energy drink that tastes almost identical. Well the XO + Vanilla Energy Drink truly is Unique and I doubt I will run into anything similar. If you know of another energy drink that is truly vanilla flavored, with no carbonation, let me know as I would like to put it to the test against XO + Vanilla. Taste Rating - 9.0 (extra point for being unique)

XO + Vanilla Energy Drink Review: Kick
Taste is unique and smooth which pretty much describes the kick factor as well. The energy drink ingredients include 47 milligrams of caffeine, 800 milligrams of taurine, 2 milligrams of B6. The list also contains a unique ingredient (at least to energy drinks). There is 26 grams of carbohydrates that pick up where the rest of the energy ingredients leave off. The caffeine and B-Vitamins seem to give the quick boost I am looking for and the carbohydrates seem to help maintain that energy level. Pretty neat concept that has worked for me so far at the gym. All in all a nice kick from a little 6 ounce shot. Kick Rating - 8.9

XO + Vanilla Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
Truly unique, smooth flavor followed by a unique energy blend that delivers a decent kick. Combine that with portability and ability to consume at room temperature and you have a another good product from XO. You can pick one of these 6 ounce shots up for $1.69 to $1.99. So far XO is 3 for 3 in my review book.
