Jocko Go Pineapple + Coconut Energy Drink Review

Jocko Go, shrink-wrapped can and all, appears and feels unsatisfying. The admittedly cool logo text is outnumbered by all the other less interesting words, stuff disinteresting to read and to look at.

The top of the design reads "new improved flavor," but says who? Definitely not me! This is like drinking suntan lotion, a cloying coconut that coats your sadden tongue like its covered in SPF 2000. Pineapple is hardly present, the bright acidity and pungent sweetness nowhere detected. Instead it is all coconut, and I was crestfallen from ounce one all the way to the final twelfth. Monk fruit extract and fermented sugarcane (reb-m) are in charge of saccharinity, lacking the textural oomph to convince even the most virgin palates of any carbohydrate involvement. Yet all the above is not the worst aspect here, oh no, that would be the carbonation. Or should I say, how there is not one. Mouthfuls are flat and that is a shame, because even a hint of effervescence could have imbued even the slightest bit of excitement into this leaden liquid.

Potency is but another problem here, with only ninety five milligrams of caffeine, the buzz was enough to satiate your average craving for the chemical, but that is about all it does. Other ingredients include vitamins, amino acids, electrolytes, and others. Overall, Jocko Go Pineapple + Coconut is not only bad, it is disrespectful.

Jocko Go Passion Fruit Mango Energy Drink Review

Domestic energy drink Jocko Go has a can that is just too busy, from the background texture to text not just in different sizes but different fonts and colors- where are my eyes supposed to go!? Plus, the line "mango mayhem" discounts the involvement of passion fruit. Do not worry little guy, I did not forget about you.

Flavor-wise, Jocko Go does not impress. In fact, I would wager most palates would outright reject what is inside. Monk fruit extract acts as the sole sweetener and it decides that the produce involved should be sickeningly saccharine without any acidic balance. Sips crash down with minimal carbonation, letting the liquid limp along the palate without much motivation. Unless you review energy drinks like me, who gulps exclusively for reasons of thorough journalism. As for the mango and passionfruit, good luck detecting any of the potent integrity that is not only expected but that they deserve. What we can taste is that famous funky aftertaste from the diet sweetener and the amino acids, and even many moments later, that stinky earthiness is all the reminder you have from a quite terrible potation.

We get ninety five milligrams of caffeine, an OK amount to be sure, but considering the twelve ounces we had to taste through, it is not enough. The buzz is a gentle two hour long one, but who cares- I am just happy the last few drips have been drunk, and I can forget this entire thing ever happened.
