This is the original flavor of the Cocaine Energy Drink made by Redux Beverages. I already told you about the history of Cocaine Energy Drink in my review of Cocaine mild so I'm going to leave that alone for this review. Cocaine comes in a firetruck red can with the name "Cocaine"' written in what looks like either chalk or cut cocaine (the illicit cocaine). Regardless of what the font is, I cracked the top and took a gulp. The bright red fluid hit my palate as a sweet cherry flavor, but after that it was the most unique taste sensation I have ever come across. Slowly, a peppery heat started to creep up my throat. My mouth and tongue didn't feel like I had taken something spicy, but my throat was beginning to feel like I generous pinch of pepper. Then my throat went almost completely numb. This is the coolest drink I have ever tried. First it's this cherry flavor and then it just morphs into this....peppery awesomeness. Definitely a 10 in my book. So unique. Alright, before I get to the energy blend I'm just going to point out that this drink has 280 milligrams of caffeine. That's a crap load for an 8 ounce drink. So, with that covered, here is the rest of the list. It has 750 milligrams of taurine, 100 milligrams of inositol, 300 percent daily value of vitamin b6, 600 percent daily value of vitamin b12, 100 percent daily value of vitamin c (who says energy drinks aren't healthy?), 50 milligrams of l-carnitine, and 250 milligrams of d-ribose. So that is 8 energy enhancing ingredients. Pretty darn good. Alright, the kick was the ultimate test for this drink as I only got 4 or 5 true hours of sleep. I sipped on this for about 30 minutes and waited for a nice buzz (ha, buzz get it?). The drink definitely woke me up with mid-level jitter free energy. Now, mid-level might seem low for a drink this concentrated, but I was completely exhausted. In conclusion, the original Cocaine Energy Drink gets a whopping 9.6 out of 10. Moving into number 7 in my Top 10 Energy Products.
