Nope
I've tried a variety of "just add water" energy type mixes. I've settled pretty cozily into Respawn, but figured i'd try something new because even that just tastes like blue-flavored (or red, or yellow, or green) juice.<br /><br />The first cup I made myself, I must not have added enough water. I put in about 14oz (it calls for 12-16oz) and some ice, and it was cloyingly sweet. No notable flavor (voodoo?).<br />Ended up pouring it out because adding water just made it more like diluted sugar water.<br /><br />The second cup I made, I started with more water and tried the berry blast or whatever. Added more like 18oz of water, skipped the ice, and now the chemical taste really stands out, along side the diluted sugar water taste. To boot, the water actually kinda felt like it had some viscosity to it... which was pretty weird-feeling.<br />Poured it out after a few sips and not acclimating to it.<br /><br />In both cases, I noticed that the packets that had the powder themselves were very clumpy, not really sure why. Also it took forever for the stuff to dissolve (the second cup never ended up dissolving all the way).<br /><br />I'm not really sure if I just got a bad batch or something, but this stuff was pretty bad. I can't even speak to the energy/focus component of the drink because I couldn't stomach the drinks. A shame, really.
