Rockstar Pure Zero Lemonade Energy Drink Review

This bright yellow can is uninteresting, a simple paint job on the bland Rockstar design template. And its flavor, Zero Calorie Lemonade, is a confusing one; how is this different, without decent research, from the company's existing Recovery Lemonade and Recovery Tea & Lemonade varieties?

The lemonade is sweet and sour, and its effervescence is crusty and laconic; this certainly is not one of the popular "recovery" energy lemonades. The biting carbonation helps elevate each sip, but it fails to escape its waist-watching sweeteners and their lack of honest weight on the tongue. Erythritol, ace-k and sucralose is the threesome of calorie-free honeys, who's only impressive characteristic is their lack of artificial bite. Lemon juice concentrate, two percent of it, help give a bit of naturalism to every candied sip, but it is not enough to aid the pale texture to the tongue; each imbibe is painfully diet with no pulpy mouthfeel.

Each can contains: B vitamins, taurine, inositol, ginseng, guarana, and 240 milligrams of caffeine. The buzz, a fairly standard formulation the brand occasionally makes use of, is the best thing here, and nearly warrants the fairly inexpensive $1.50 paid.
