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!

San Pellegrino Limonata!


Once again we cover a San Pellegrino drink, the last being the delicious Aranciata(Orange flavored) soda.  So what is a Limonata?  Its Italian for Lemonade, but this version will taste much different than your typical lemonade.

As usual the packaging on these is excellent, featuring their trademark peel off lid protector.  Its an excellent feature that keeps the tops clean, and I wish more companies here would follow suit.  The Limonata has a delicious mix of tart and sweet flavor, with very mild carbonation that you'll notice as you take a swig.  The nice thing about this drink is that it also contains no artificial color and uses real sugar, and the difference is quite noticeable.  San Pellegrino Limonata has a much better taste also thanks to the usage of real Lemon juice(around 16-20% of the beverage is from juice).

These are easy to find and are as excellent as the Aranciata, although definitely more on the tart side.  If you'd like to try a mix between Lemonade and soda, you'll love this.

San Pellegrino Aranciata(Orange Soda)!

From Italian company San Pellegrino, purveyors of plenty of drinks comes this classic that has become pretty mainstream stateside in the last few years. The Aranciata(Orange drink in Italian) has been a drink I've enjoyed plenty over the last few years. For some reason I've felt that orange soda over the last few years has on the most part been neglected by the drink industry, and this beverage has come along to fill that void.

Its a superb orange drink, mildly fizzy and not too sweet with sharp citrusy flavors. Its refreshing, tangy, and could be considered a gourmet soda thanks to aspects like the excellent packaging and the Italian spring water base.In terms of packaging, this soda does an excellent job of really making every can feel special. The tops of these cans are covered with an aluminum slip that prevents any dirt from collecting on the tops. The can itself features a nice mix of colors that make it really eye catching in a grocery aisle. San Pellegrino definitely put alot of effort into making the packaging appealing and it shows!

In this overly sugared age of orange sodas, this one definitely stands out from the crowd for being really well balanced flavor wise and its excellent packaging. A must try for anyone looking for a good, refreshing orange flavored soda! :)
