I Got Joose'd

I don't normally post about alcoholic beverages because I don't drink that often but the controversy surrounding alcoholic energy drinks got me kind of interested in trying Four. The store I went to didn't have any so I bought Joose instead. Judging from the can you would guess it's grape. Judging from the name you might guess it's dragon fruit. Research leads me to believe it is indeed grape. I required research because all I could taste is alcohol. I've had vodka less harsh than this stuff. I didn't blackout or anything though. Should this stuff be banned: no. Should there be more awareness about its dangers: sure, why not.

Comparing it to Smirnoff Ice which is the only other malt beverage I've had I personally prefer Ice.
Comparing it to Blue Ox which is my favorite energy drink I'd choose Blue Ox hands down.

It seems like drinking a Vodka Red Bull would be cheaper and taste better.

Blood of the Gods

I finally tried Mountain Dew Throwback. I love that little hillbilly. Then I found out that all Mexican sodas have cane sugar rather than High Fructose Corn Syrup. So I go down to my local supermarket to buy a MexiCoke which I actually had a few weeks before. While I'm in the "ethnic" aisle buying ramen because I'm as broke as an HP laptop, I see bottles of Jarritos Mandarina and this Sangria flavored soda.

I drink the Jarritos and it's just ok. I actually think Orange Crush is better. Then I drink the Sangria Señorial. This stuff is awesome. It tastes a lot like my favorite carbonated beverage of all time, Black Cherry Faygo (reppin' the D). In fact it might taste even better. It is more expensive unless you count the cost of shipping it takes to get to Colorado.

Pomegranate Coffee

First beverage post in a while. I tried this stuff today just to see what it was like. It doesn't taste like pomegranate. It just has Pomx (POM Wonderful Pomegranate Antioxidant Extract). It is probably the best iced coffee I've ever had.

Though I'm not really a coffee drinker and I probably wouldn't have bought it if it weren't on sale. $4 is a lot for 10.5 oz. of coffee.

As in Life...

You may not know this but I'm a huge beverage junkie. I may not like everything but I'll try anything. Anyway, I was drinking a Talking Rain's Sparkling ICE I got from Costco and I noticed it said this on the back:


As In Life, Chill For Best Results. (TM)
Refrigerate After Opening

I thought it was pretty cool. The drink isn't that great. 3% juice and sucralose.
