Rockstar Energy Drink with Caffeine Taurine and Electrolytes, Recovery Orange, 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)

Hydration and caffeine! Yes, please. Good, smooth flavors with no carbonation. Love these!

This is my husbands favorite energy drink because it’s good and healthier than others with good energy. The price is great, especially when you have it on subscription. This specific one is usually sold out at most grocery stores and hard to find at other places so I decided to just do a subscription every 2 weeks. Works out great!

Flavor is great! By far my favorite flavor of all. Not carbonated which is really nice

These are hands-down, the best rockstar flavor I’ve ever tested. I’ve been loyal to this flavor for years now, and still have not gotten tired of it. It not being carbonated is such a huge plus for me.

Wow, the reviews for this energy drink are *terrible* - not sure why - but I found this drink to be surprisingly good! It appears that I am in the minority here, but hear me out: Okay, so I have never had a Rockstar energy drink (what can I say, I live a 'sheltered life,' lol); so I honestly cannot compare to previous formulas, like most of the reviewers here have done. That said, I was surprised... and only in a *good* way! There were NO bad "surprises," at all, whatsoever — and no "cons!" I have had "Monster" energy drinks... and found the taste to be awful. I have had "Red Bull" ... and I found those to be *EVEN WORSE!* I literally cannot stomach red bull energy drinks - they are that gross to me! They turn my stomach. They taste like *medicine* to me... actually, no, I've had *medicine* that tastes better! (Sorry, Red Bull fans... but we're gonna have to agree to disagree here, lol) So, I was a little trepidatious — to say the least — when it came to ordering these. (Luckily, I didn't even *look* at the reviews; and I'm so glad I didn't! (I don't say that line very often, lol). So, the day of my first taste came... and I was shocked - and only in a good way!! This is the *ONLY* energy drink that I have ever liked - or can even "stomach," for that matter. Seriously. I love my caffeine — and who can't use a little "extra" energy or OOMPH in their day?? As someone who has CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and an autoimmune disorder that I've struggled with since *childhood* — as well as various other health issues, I will say that *I* certainly can! So, anyway, onto the taste: For those that have never tasted this particular drink/flavor, but are familiar with Mountain Dew (I also enjoy many of *their* flavors; *especially* the orange "Livewire" - which is my favorite Mt Dew flavor), I will say that, to me, it tastes very much like a subdued (and less carbonated) version of their orange LIVEWIRE. That is the closest thing I can compare it to. It's perfect for me! The pick-me-up was also appreciated - and I also felt it delivered a good "jolt" (pun intended) of energy; in other words, it served its purpose and lived up to its name — it gave me some much-needed energy and the taste is great, to me!! If you've never had a Rockstar energy drink, and are not even familiar with the "old" formula vs the "new" formula and/or you enjoy Mt Dew LiveWire, give this a go!! I think you will enjoy it. If not, I'm sorry but I offer no money-back guarantees, lol. Bottom Line? For those searching for a new energy drink or a new flavor, and are wondering what this tastes like: It's a nice soft, subtle orange-y flavor reminiscent of Live Wire - so if you enjoy Mountain Dew's "LiveWire," I think you would really enjoy this flavor! I did! Obviously, I feel a little "alone" in that opinion atm (according to other reviewers) but who cares?! All that matters to me is that I enjoyed it and that it added a little extra pizzaz to my day. I did - and it did! I hope you will enjoy it as well! Salud!
