Protein Dynamix Dynamo Booster Shot – Cola
December 2nd, 2023As with all shots, the flavour is intense and bitter. It’s undoubtably cola flavoured, but not in a pleasant way! This is designed to give you a quick liquid shot of caffeine as fast as possible. It packs in 200mg of caffeine actually, which is a lot – keep in mind a can of Red Bull is 80mg, so you’re downing two and half cans equivalent. Please, please remember that and don’t follow it with a chaser of Monster!
Oshee Futuryx Lab Booster – Wild Strawberry-Apple
October 21st, 2023The strawberry’s not only going to be wild, it’ll be livid 🙂 Not as bitter tasting as I thought it would be – usually shots are very sour and bitter. This one, whilst still on the sour side, mostly tasted of concentrated apple. There was a slight strawberry aftertaste but it’s pretty much apple all the way down. Not as highly caffeinated as many other shots, which is a good thing because a lot of them are trying to pack 200mg into a 60ml drink and that’s ridiculous. This is a more sensible 100mg dose, so only slightly more than a regular 250ml can of energy drink would contain.

Optimum Nutrition Pre-Workout – Lemon Lime
October 7th, 2023I managed to find quite a few energy shots recently, and I haven’t seen many in years. This first one is a lemon-lime flavour with quite a bit of caffeine in (175mg). I’d hoped that after a few years the makers would have worked out how to make the shots sweeter tasting but sadly it’s still quite bitter. You can taste the lemon and lime flavouring, but the whole drink has a sour tang that makes you draw back the corners of your mouth in an instinctive reflex sort of way. As shots go, I’ve had worse!
Moju Chilli Energy
January 11th, 2020An experience… I’m glad it’s in shot form though. It’s basically a very juicy shot tasting mostly of pineapple juice, but there’s chewy bits floating around in it which make it quite weird to drink. Then, about 3 seconds after drinking it you get the hit of the chilli. It’s certainly very unique, but given its odd drinking experience and the very low caffeine content it’s not going to score too highly as energy shots go.
Moose Juice Energy Shot Rainbow Candy
May 25th, 2019This is a flavour first – I’ve never seen a ‘rainbow candy’ drink before, energy or otherwise. As a shot, you do get a very slight bitterness, but it’s tempered a lot by the sweetness. Yes… an energy shot that tastes sweet! I’d really like to try a regular energy drink of this flavour as I’d reckon it’d be quite a treat. This shot also has added BCAAs for the gym-goers.

SIS Go Caffeine Shot Cola
April 20th, 2019This drink was so sour that I didn’t get any cola flavour at all. I might just as well have been sucking on a lemon to be honest. Still, it’s a very fast acting and potent drink which bolted me awake pretty quickly!

USN Spike Energy Shot Cola
March 23rd, 2019Imagine if you can that you have managed to liquidise or juice a whole bunch of sour fizzy cola bottle sweets. And then you downed it in one go. That’s pretty much what you have with this cola flavoured energy shot. It gets full marks for originality because I have never tasted anything like this before! It needs to be sweeter though to be perfect because you still get the expected very bitter and sour taste that you get with every other energy shot. Worth a go if you manage to find one because it’s one of a kind.

USN Spike Energy Shot Berry
March 16th, 2019You don’t tend to see many energy shots anymore. There was a time several years ago when every brand had a ‘shot’ version. As I expected though, these Spike shots have the familiar extreme bitterness that the shots of old use to provide. This berry flavoured shot was sadly masked by that aforementioned bitterness, so all you really taste is a sour burst of liquid that makes you draw your lips back over your teeth and inhale sharply.

5-hour Energy Berry
July 28th, 2018With these 5-hour energy shots it really doesn’t seem to matter what flavour they say it is – what you get is a quick burst of bitter flavour down your neck followed by a pick-up a few minutes later. And that’s what really matters… you do taste the berry I guess, briefly, but it’s not important or much different to the other flavours!
