Apple Ginger Game Juice!

Okay, so I was skeptical when I first saw this. It appeared to be some sort of nuclear substance at some kind, due to its incredibly bright green hue and dangerous packaging. I approached with caution, and after confirming the bottle was indeed safe to touch with my bare hands, I proceeded to investigate.

The flavor piqued my curiosity, as I had never tried any sort of apple soda type drink, let alone one spiked with ginger. This bottle of self proclaimed gamer drink is also infused with caffeine and mind enhancing vitamins.

So, I prepared my palate, unscrewed the top, and took a nice big swig.  Now, I must pause to point out that I am not much of a fan of the typical energy drinks out there, I stay well away from them actually, and this looked like it was going to fall into that category. But, to my delight, it was quite pleasing. It is indeed an apple soda, but with a unique kick to it. Though it has quite a bit of sugar in it, I did not find it too sweet, but rather exhilarating. I would not reach for a drink like this if I were parched after a long crawl through the desert, but it is great to chug along with a snack.

At this point, I figured I should go ahead and apply the drink as it seems to be intended, so I fired up my Xbox 360 and played a bit of John Woo Presents: Stranglehold. Before I knew it, I was dodging bullets and dancing through the air in slow motion, a seemingly invincible harbinger of doom to my foes. I cannot say for certain how much of this could be directly contributed to the Game Juice I had just ingested, but I do believe it helped in some way…

All told, whether the intention is to boost your game skills or not, I would not hesitate to try this drink out!

Izze Sparkling Blackberry Juice!

We picked up this drink in the 'Organic' section of our local grocery store.  Why?  The slick look, and the Blackberry flavor(A rarity in the carbonated drink market).  That's all it took to get our attention and pick a can up.  They're sharply designed 8.5oz cans and look great.

This fizzy beverage contains 70% fruit juice, no preservatives and some vitamins added in to boot.  I'm happy to report it tastes great.  It stays true to what it says, delivering rich blackberry flavor with some fizz.  Its surprisingly smooth and not too sugary, offering a nice tickle to the back of the throat as it goes down.  Definitely worth a try if you're a fan of juice or are looking for a healthier alternative to Soda.  There are quite a few other flavors as well including Clementine, Grapefruit, Apple and Pomegranate.  If you get a few cans they'll make your fridge look like a rainbow!

Suntory Gokuri Graperfuit Drink!

This beverage definitely proved to me that you should always expect a surprise when randomly choosing between Japanese drinks. This Gokuri drink caught my eye with its nice blue metallic bottle and pleasant grapefruit pic on the front. It was classified as a 'non carbonated soft drink,' so I thought I'd give it a try. The nice thing about these aluminum bottles is how well they chilled. I put it in the freezer for 30 minutes before consuming it to get it really nice and frosty.

Upon opening the bottle I was treated to a really pleasant grapefruit aroma, a fruit that I've really enjoyed drinking in the past in juice form. However, upon drinking I was caught off guard by the texture which was anything but smooth. I stopped drinking and looked down only to realize that it contained pieces of actual grapefruit. The weird thing is hows its labeled as 'fruit fiber' on the back, which led me to question if it was actual fruit or some bizarro facsimile. After realizing that I kept drinking and was able to enjoy it.

This version of Gokuri had a really natural grapefruit flavor minus the overly bitter finish typically associated with the fruit. The pieces of fruit might not be for everyone, but it was interesting to experience mild chewing and drinking at the same time. I can see people who don't like grapefruits bitterness enjoying this happy middle of a beverage.

The packaging and flavors make this a pretty good exotic beverage to seek out. Enjoy the party in your mouth! Come in different flavors too!
