Crakshot Energy Drink Review:
The name Crakshot seems to be taking on the Guerilla marketing approach that the Cocaine Energy Drink and Blow Energy Drink used back in the day... Meaning let's see how far we can push the envelope in naming our energy shot and see if we can generate some free publicity. Well I did hear about the Crakshot energy drink fairly early on, but it did not seem to come with the hype or controversy that the latter two Energy Drinks did. Maybe we are finally becoming a more accepting society.. or maybe the people that would complain have not heard about it yet. Or it could be that CRAK (in this case) stands for - Classic Rock Art Kulture (how convenient). Either way Crakshot, which is distributed by JGS Beverage Group Inc, comes in a pretty well designed 2 ounce resealable shot. Enough fluff, let's see if the Crakshot does it's job in the taste and kick categories.

Crakshot Energy Drink Review: Taste
First off, Crakshot's flavor is stated right on the bottle - Lemonade. And surprisingly, at least for an energy shot, it actually tastes like it. Albeit there is an ever so slight medicinal aftertaste to it which is actually not too bad as it tastes somewhat like raspberry. Either way, the tiny 2 ounce shot was by no means hard to drink, or hard to slam. Overall I was very pleased with the taste and I might consider adding it to my Best Energy Drink list, or at least when I finally update it to include shots! Taste Rating - 9.0

Crakshot Energy Drink Review: Kick
With a name like Crakshot I was expecting a pretty high kick. Did I get it? Well the energy ingredients include 140 milligrams of total caffeine (70 from caffeine and 70 from Guarana extract) along with Niacin, 300 milligrams of taurine and a bunch of b-vitamins. So no, it is not the strongest energy shot on the market... But don't get me wrong, it does pack a pretty powerful punch for a 2 ounce shot. Besides, wouldn't you rather be caught slammin a Crakshot vs. a shot of Zantrex Shot? No crash either, maybe it has something to do with the lack of sugar and the added potassium? Kick Rating - 8.7

Crakshot Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
Cool name, nice edgy package design, good flavor and an ample kick. I have yet to see these at any type of brick and mortar store, but you can pick up a sample online for $2.50 or you can buy in bulk at prices as cheap as $1.75 / bottle making it one of the cheaper shots on the market. Final Judgment - 8.8
