Dr. Enuf Energy Booster Review

What a fun little find we got here, Tennessee favorite Dr. Enuf, which sounds like a Dr Pepper clone but looks like 7-Up, although my research tells me it was originally bottled alongside Mtn Dew- phew, some history! The heavy glass bottle stands tall against its aluminum competitors, although it is a true shame that there is not any mention of caffeine content on the container or the internet.

The flavor is all out lemon lime, though the choice of sugar and omnipresence of vanilla that help keep sips from drinking like your generic Sprite clone. The citrus duet tastes familiar, relying a bit more on lemon than its smaller sized costar. Pure cane sugar gives imbibes a heavier mouthfeel than its more common canned competition, who's use of HFCS give gulps a syrupy texture, particularly the final handful of ounces. The effervescence is also a lot more mild than your usual commercial soft drink, the millions of little bubbles acting only to keep the experience from tasting flat. But it is the vanilla here that sets everything apart. Each quaff ends in a creamy climax that washes away any mention of the little green or yellow fruits, and leads into a somewhat earthy aftertaste. Perhaps it is how the drink is "rich in vitamins," I dunno, but I did not mind it; it helps craft a rather refreshing interpretation of your commonplace soda.

Forty five grams of sugar, an undisclosed amount of caffeine, and vitamins B3 and B1. The buzz is the most disappointing thing here, lasting about an hour, and feels like a pure sugar rush (and ends like one). Overall, Dr. Enuf is a funky little trip back in time that I can recommend drinking for the novelty.
