Tonix Energy Soda Review
That's right you read the headline correct, this is an energy soda, not one of the countless Energy Drinks that are on the market. So what is the difference between the Tonix Energy Soda and an Energy Drink? Well in my experience an energy soda usually means great taste, but less of a kick. Before we get to the review of Tonix Energy Soda here is a little background. Tonix is made by Pluto Beverage Co, founded by Harry Johnson. and comes in a 12 ounce resealable glass bottle. His goal was to create an all natural energy soda (no preservatives or artificial sweeteners). The drink has only 35 calories and 9 grams of sugar (pure cane sugar) which is way better than your standard everyday energy drink. So enough background, let's get to the taste and kick reviews!

Tonix Energy Soda Review: Taste
First off, when I hear all natural, usually I cringe as companies tend to focus on too much of the natural aspect vs. the end product. Fortunately for the Tonix Energy Soda, the berry taste is very good, lightly carbonated and quite refreshing. You also get a hint of flavor from the black currant berry, which is very high in antioxidants and delivers a sharp sweet taste. Overall I was very impressed, not only with the taste, but also with the fact that this drink has only 35 calories and is all natural. Very good drink and definitely worth a try based on taste alone. Taste Rating - 9.5

Tonix Energy Soda Review: Kick
Alright we have established that Tonix Energy Soda has a great taste, but will it also perform in the kick category? Well the energy drink ingredients include 53 milligrams of natural caffeine and a 1960 milligram energy blend consisting of L-Carnitine, Arginine, Glutamine, Milk Thistle Seed Extract and Taurine. Now I don't know the energy effects of all those ingredients, but I do know that caffeine and taurine play a big part. Now 53 milligrams of caffeine is not a lot (Red Bull has 80 milligrams), but I don't think that is quite what they were going for. You are not going to get the biggest kick from this drink, but you will get one. You are not going to be jumping off walls, but you will perk up. Hence, energy soda. Kick Rating - 7.0

Tonix Energy Soda Review: Final Judgment
More kick than soda, and a better taste than your normal energy drink. I loved the taste and I do see a market for this style of beverage. Not everybody needs hundreds of grams of caffeine. Even though I am used to more caffeine, I thoroughly enjoyed the drink. It's all natural, has low calories, provides a decent kick and tastes great. Final Judgment - 8.5
