RATING: 6.3 OUT OF 10.
In this review, I will be diving into another flavor of the Rockstar Recovery line-up. The other two flavors, lemonade and grape, performed rather well in the taste department, but lacked in the kick aspect. Anyway, enough of the bull crap, let's dive into the taste.
As previously mentioned, the flavor is described as "orange", and since this drink is non-carbonated, I was expecting an orange flavor similar to an orange Gatorade. My prediction was partially accurate, but since this drink is made with 3 percent juice, it tasted more like orange juice than an orange Gatorade. The only drawback to the taste was the taste of artificial sweeteners. Other than that, Orange is another killer Rockstar Recovery flavor.
As far as energy blends are considered, Rockstar has a great one. Here's the full list: 100 percent daily value of vitamin b3, 100 percent daily value of vitamin b5, 100 percent daily vitamin b6, 250 percent daily value of vitamin b12, 2,000 milligrams of taurine, 160 milligrams of caffeine, 100 milligrams of panax ginseng extract, 100 milligrams of prickly pear extract, and 40 milligrams of milk thistle extract.
To be completely honest, I wasn't expecting much from this drink, and it's a good thing I didn't expect much, because this drink failed to do anything. That's right, Rockstar Recovery Orange had hardly any noticeable effect, and I might-as-well have been drinking orange Gatorade rather than an energy drink. This is just another reason why I am so incredibly eager to try Kymera Freakish Energy Shot, which is an energy shot with an unfathomable 325 milligrams of caffeine. If that doesn't send me to the next universe, I don't know what will.
Overall, Rockstar Recovery Orange is just like all the other Rockstar Recoveries (go figure), it has a great flavor profile and it also has a nice energy blend. The kick is a bit lackluster in my opinion, but if your caffeine tolerance isn't as high as some people, you might want to give this a try. I think you might like it. 6.3 out of 10.
