20 Best Energy Drinks For Night Shift (2023 Updated)

If my praise for Rowdy Energy sounds excessive, know that it’s not. Rowdy is easily the best energy drink line I’ve ever tasted. I’ve tried 8 of them, and they are all winners. They all have a clean, pleasing taste, and none of them leave you with that weird aftertaste like you get from many competitor energy drinks.

Yes, Rowdy give you energy, and none of them leave you with that head-ache (like I get from “RB”). My favorite flavors are Cherry Limonade, and Orange Citrus (which tastes like delicious tangerines).

I have bought Rowdy at my local Pavilions grocery store, but Ralph’s & Vons are lame and haven’t stocked it yet. Get with it, Ralph’s & Vons! Thanks, Rowdy! Pete Puma.

First thing to note is there’s over 800mg of potassium. That’s incredible all by itself. No other energy drink compares. Then there’s the other vitamins, the lower amount of caffeine which is safer amount.

Other drinks put in 300mg of anhydrous caffeine which is not good for many people. Its too high for 12-16 oz drinks that can be chugged since they’re cold and tasty. So on that point its tasty without all the sucralose and other fake sweeteners.

I’m a dietitian and if i could’ve invented an energy drink it would be Rowdy. Only need to increase distribution so it can be offered side by side with those less healthy competitors. Great job Kyle!.

The blue raspberry is wonderful in taste. Very smooth. I am also impartial to the colors. Having been infantry in the Army, I love the baby blue color. The Rowdy logo is very aggressive and sharp, which also fits my style.

The order was quickly and efficiently sent to my home. The packing ensured there were no breaks or leaks in the cans which I was grateful for. The only thing, not in a positive light, is the price. If I order off the website, and they ship straight to my house, I believe the price per can should be around $2 and not $2.

50. However, this price is still better than shelf bought, so I am saving money in the long run. Huge supporter of all things Kyle Busch, and Rowdy Energy!.

UPDATE: THEY CHANGED THEIR FORMULA, THANKS TO SELLING OUT TO PEPSICO AND IT’S DISGUSTING! NEW FORMULA TASTES LIKE GROSS, SYRUPY, CHERRY COUGH SYRUP! YUCK! BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THE NEW STYLE CANS!THEY WILL SAY ORIGINAL BUT, IT’S A LIE, BEST WAY TO TELL IT’S THE NEW FORMULA IS BY LOOKING AT THE CALORIES: OLD ORIGINAL 250 NEW ORIGINAL 270! THEY REALLY MESSED UP THE BEST ENERGY DRINK IN THE WORLD! GOING TO GO CRY NOW, MY HEART US BROKEN! Rockstar- Original flavor is the only beverage I need to drink all day besides water.

The flavor is a perfect balance of sweet sour citrus fruit, leaning towards pineapple I’d say. Now, I know these aren’t healthy unless had in moderation however, I always need an open can of it next to me, in the car, while I’m eating, even bedside so I can wake up in the middle of the night to have my sip.

I was able to drink all sorts of different brands flavors years ago but, since I quit drinking alcohol 3 years ago this is the only energy drink/drink in general I can stomach. They’re very expensive unless you find them on sale or know where to look.

711’s something have great sales but lately, I’ve found it easier and more affordable to buy them from Amazon on a subscription base. I get 2 cases delivered every 2 weeks. The price for a 12pk of original 16oz cans usually comes out being $1.

50 each can. I need #rockstarenergy to understand that original is their best and most popular flavor however, I have been seeing a ton of shortages lately of it at all retailers, even Amazon while they’re all fully stocked of all the other flavors.

Get it together @ rockstar, mama needs her happy juice, lol. Thank you and yes, I know I need help, lol.

I really like the brand Rockstar, but I do wish that Sam’s Club would carry different energy drinks or a mix with different flavors. Maybe the top five rated amongst Rockstar diehard fans like myself.

There is a energy drink site that I’m a huge fan of. The person that runs the site is called “Energy Drink Josh” He is a diehard energy drink consumer that has many followers. He knows everything and anything about energy drinks.

I not only follow his site on Instagram, so does thousands of people love his post. He would be a perfect person that would make Rockstar a well known company amongst energy drink fans.

I normally drink Monster Energy drinks which ranges in price from $2. 00 to $3. 00 depending on where you go but I ordered these on Amazon I got a great deal I paid only paid $17. 49 for a 12 Pack which is $1.

49 so I saved $. 25 to $. 30 per can depending on where you go so buy purchasing it on Amazon I saved a total of $3. 00 to $3. 60 off the total if I had purchased them in a store. They’re really good even though I prefer Monster Energy Drinks these Rockstar Energy Drinks are great for the price on Amazon it came with with Free shipping I had them the next day.

Today I put my 2nd order in for more of these they will be here tomorrow. I definitely recommend this to anyone who likes energy drinks. They also offer almost every flavor as well.

Great product, great taste, great company! When I emailed customer support to let them know a couple of cans were damaged they immediately responded and to my surprise sent replacements asap. This company cares!! I always have G.

O. A. T. Fuel in hand especially when I’m driving long distance, long hours. It’s BETTER than coffee. Trust me, I’m a coffee lover but when you want a natural energy drink G. O. A. T. Fuel is the GOAT.

Contents of the container is always good and really helps me get through a workout with I start feeling like I want to quit. Due to my physical job I have, sometimes the energy of not there. Goat guru really does the job! I want to thank you for changing the type of can.

Earlier containers would splash and make a mess when opening. I actually stopped ordering because of this. After some time I thought I’d try again as I was missing what was in the can. To my pleasant surprise no mess! Thank you.

I just received my second shipment of two twelve packs. Regards, Keith in Minnesota. (Former Bay Area resident from birth and loyal 49ers Faithful) Job took me to the Midwest.

I received this product complimentary in exchange for my honest review. The packaging was kind of sick and I appreciated the limited plastic, though the plastic that was used definitely could have been forgone.

I was fully impressed by the ingredients of goat fuel. I’m a sucker for a mushroom blend. This flavor reminded me of white gummy bears and had the perfect amount of carbonation. My only complaint – it hit like a fat burner.

Immediate heat in my face and shakiness. I literally had to stop my workout to eat to get rid of the shakiness. I’m no stranger to energy drinks and preworkout, so I would definitely assess tolerance prior to chugging a full can.

Overall, 4/5 and I’ll be sticking to half a can next time. Definitely interested in trying the other flavors soon!.

I thought this would be a good alternative to coffee in the mornings with my early workouts. The taste was just OK not much like watermelon, but I think I’m just not a fan of carbonated sports drinks.

I’ll stick with my own caffeinated sports drinks in the meantime, and drink my coffee after my work out. I think this works better for me. If you were a fan of carbonated sport strength, then I would say to definitely try this.

The flavor isn’t really sweet or tart, it’s very balanced. It doesn’t leave a bad aftertaste like some sports drinks do. While it’s not for me, you might love it!.

These REALLY helped to get things done throughout the day. Tired after work? Have a Rockstar. Energy low? Have a Rockstar. The flavor is decent: tastes like a regular energy drink. Also great after meals for those who get sleepy after eating.

It helped to finish projects and work faster. You won’t feel like youre on an energy drink, as the boost and comedown is gentle. These are great for those who dont find enough energy boost from coffee.

I think overall this is a good productive. I do feel alert after drinking eboost and I don’t feel like I’m going to have a heart attack while drinking it. I also don’t get a headache or feel like I’m crashing after drinking one.

I got the multiflavor pack and the blue raspberry and strawberry lemonade were my favorite flavors. The ginger lime though needs a major improvement on taste. It was awful. It tasted like magnesium citrate, which if you don’t know, is an over the counter laxative.

But overall I enjoyed the rest of them and plan on buying more.

I used to drink 4-5 Red Bull or Monsters a day to keep me going through a long and intense workload. My stomach was destroyed and the effects I was looking for to keep my going eventually stopped working.

I was reluctant to try a natural product and am kicking myself for not embracing EBOOST sooner !! I have one a day, which I now crave, and it keeps me going through the day. I feel mental clarity and never tired.

I do not miss the jittery feeling that those other drinks used to give me. This feels clean in my body and I don?t experience any bad side effects !! Give it a try, you won?t be sorry!.

I really like these for how much better they are for me than my usual energy drinks. I just had a baby so finding clean products, especially free of food coloring and other chemicals, lower sugar, and overall healthier ingredients is very important but I also need that energy because this mama is TIRED! It gives me just the right amount, especially in the afternoon, without feeling over caffeinated.

It’s a bit pricier than others but definitely worth the benefits. If I had ANY complaints I’d say they’re just a tad too sweet for me but that’s not a deterrent.

I like the carbonation level of this drink. It’s sufficiently bubbly to be enjoyable, but well below the level of a typical soft drink. The caffeine level is 120mg per can. That’s enough to provide a nice “pick-me-up” feeling without getting the jitters that highly caffeinated energy drinks sometimes provide.

In addition to the caffeine it also has a good amount of various B vitamins. The flavor is OK — it’s sort of a citrus-like, tropical-like mix that’s generally pleasant. However, the high amount of sucralose makes it too sweet for my preference, and gives it a strong artificial sweetener aftertaste.

Granted, the use of an artificial sweetener keeps the calorie count down to 10 for a full can, which is a plus. But the low cal approach could have been accomplished without having the sucralose level dialed up so high.

It’s drinkable, but less sweetness would make it a lot more enjoyable. I’d rate the formulation as 5 stars; the flavor as 4 stars, and the sweetness level/aftertaste as 3 stars. Overall rating of 4 stars.

It’s an effective energy drink, but the sweetness level needs to be dialed back.

I don’t often use energy drinks but do enjoy them for when I can’t make a tea or a coffee. Focus Factor is an effective energy drink. It gives me a boost that I can use to get through the afternoon at work without making me jittery.

The flavor is pleasant, but not the best tasting energy drink that exists. The flavor is similar to Red Bull. The caffeine is about as much as a strong cup of coffee. The ace-k leaves a mild aftertaste that’s gross to me, and a little hard for me to stomach.

I generally don’t like sugar free, but actually don’t mind it in an energy drink – no sugar crash once the caffeine wears off. But I wish the sweet had come either entirely from sucralose, or from other, non-controversial sweeteners instead of ace-k.

I personally find the sweetness level to be perfect and the flavor to be acceptable, I just don’t like the aftertaste. 3. 5, but I can’t give half stars.

I really like this drink. Focus Factor tastes good and does not have a crazy amount of caffeine unlike most other energy drinks. Almost all kinds of energy drinks have too much caffeine, and I was glad that I received this one.

Overall, this beverage is like a gentle version of Red Bull but only better in taste and performance. This drink helped me numerous times in the afternoon when I needed a boost or to stay alert when I was behind the wheel.

I was very glad I took the can with me that day on the road. The drink acted fast without my being jittery, and also I like that it is carbonated. Highly recommended!.

I ordered the assortment of Energy Drinks, so I could sample all of them. They were FANTASTIC!!! Great taste, no after taste. No sugary taste. Great energy booster. Made a mistake on the first one I opened- opened it after dinner – lol.

Kept me going late into the night. Love it.

I love this drink. It tastes great and gives you energy without the crash that usually accompanies other energy drinks. And it is loaded with vitamins and minerals. I highly recommend this product and I will definitely be purchasing more.

So I have been wanting to try alani nu energy drinks for so long just couldn’t find a case of them. Well my in laws found the case of 3 flavors at Sam’s club and they were a Christmas gift. SO good. I drank one everyday until I ran out and when I got close I ordered a case of this flavor.

I really liked cherry slush, breezeberry and cosmic stardust but THIS. I LOVE cherry limeade and this flavor is just amazing. The only energy drink that doesn’t make me feel bloated or have a crash afterwards.

Love they have vitamins in them and NO sugar. Also gluten free and vegan!! Amazing. Love love love and will be purchasing more everytime I run out. Better than coffee…coming from a coffee addict. ❤️🥰.

I drink the cotton candy and I find it wonderful tasting considering it has no sugar. It is full of vitamins and other healthy things your body needs. That’s what makes This energy drinks so wonderful! I’ve bought it here many times because of price is cheap it comes package beautifully.

However, my last shipment there were three cans dented, they are unusable because they lose the carbonation when dented. I am just stating this to let Home Deliveries USA know. However, do not let this deter you from buying it from here.

You will not get it anywhere cheaper as I’ve been shopping for it for a while now and Have been very happy with my previous shipments. Definitely will continue to buy here.

So I took a leap of faith based off of previous reviews, I wasnt sure I would care for anything that was sugar free and I dont care for the aftertaste most energy drinks leave behind. But I had some extra funds on my EBT card and decided to give this a try.

First off, the taste was very yummy! Not overly, sickly sweet, it had the perfect balance for a flavor that is Cotton Candy flavored. Usually I cant stand sweetened drinks that are zero sugar, they usually have a strong artificial aftertaste that makes me nauseous but not this one!It also doesnt have that strong energy drink taste to it that leaves a gross aftertaste, which was nice.

It gives a nice boost to my energy without feeling jittery or that my heart is going to explode out of my chest. If you are on the fence, I would say just go for it!.

Peach Mango Bang resembles the refreshing taste of a juice that one would want after a rigorous, enduring workout. The clearly dominant flavor is the mango/nectarine flavor. The peach is subtle which allows the consumer to not be overwhelmed by the peach flavor like in other distributors peach drink variations.

Although the flavor is refreshing when cold, a room temperature Peach Mango Bang is not nearly as thirst quenching as it can sometimes give off a tart flavor. This is not the case with other Bang flavors as some will taste considerably better when room temperature.

The Peach Mango Bang drink is one of the better flavors as it has a strong resemblance to a frequently used variation of tropical nectarine flavor variations.

I don’t typically review products, but wow!!! I picked up Bucked up’s Rocket Pop and Blood Razz this weekend to try. Both were amazing, but this Blood Razz flavor is the most amazing tasting energy drink I have put in my mouth in ages.

It tastes just like Raspberry Ice. Having zero sugar means my diet plan is safe as well. I am interested in trying the other flavors in stock and I hope my store gets all 10 flavors in so I can try them all.

I also hope my store keeps this brand. They are completely worth a buy!!!!.

I love these energy drinks. The taste of them are delicious. They are hard to find in stores. Blood and blue razz, and grape gainz are the best flavors in my opinion. Miami flavor is delicious also. Taste like ranibow sherbet.

I will be ordering these flavors again.

The website was easy to use and offered a buy one get one for whole cases which I’ve never seen before! I love the blood razz and the mango tango, The flavor is amazing. I like these because they don’t have beta alanine but still give me a lot of energy from the caffeine and other ingredients.

First off, Im normally not an energy drink fan. All of them taste weird and off, but I do like Ghost flavors (I love blue raspberry!). so when Ghost advertised for a small amount of people to get a free energy drink I hopped to it! I must say, Im rather impressed and surprised at the taste.

It tastes kind of like sunkist but more exciting in my mouth. Its SUPER orange candy like and has a mild hint of vanilla. Which for some people could be a good or a bad thing. Carbonation is fun, but isnt too bad and hasnt hurt my stomach.

The drink comes with strong caffeine content (200 MG) and other fun stuff in it. It definitely kicked me awake this morning when coffee didnt do the job and it has no strong after taste that comes with it.

Plus its sugar free and only 10 calories which I love! I would definitely have this again. Ghost hits it out of the park again! Thanks for the honor of letting me try this one! Will purchase in the future.

The taste reminds me of Orange crush. It comes off more as like an orange sherbet flavor then an orange cream flavor because of it’s sourness. The sourness isn’t as present comparing it to the sour patch kids and warhead watermelon flavor.

For the most part as far as how I feel, I like the way ghost is turning out so far. For anybody who hasn’t tried it yet, I like to mention how the sweetener in these drinks linger on for quite a while I would say maybe even hours.

Something that you may have to accept if you try these. It’s not a bad thing but, it could easily irritate someone.

This drink has a lot of potential. Super Duper Sour! Whoo! This drink is full of energizing nutrients and needs for a manual labourer, but the flavour is just too powerful. The only way I could drink this without feeling nauseous, or as if my teeth had just bitten into a lemon was by diluting it in an equal part of water.

I love sour foods and candies. Warheads are amongst my favourite candies, but this drink was not for me. If the flavour was a little less powerful, I could definitely enjoy it more.

We were very pleased with this product. It has a great flavor, and it does indeed give you energy. You must be aware that it does have a high level of caffeine, so therefore the caution to only drink one per day.

If you drink it early in the day then you’re not as affected by it when you’re trying to go to sleep at night. Overall we really love the product.

Im in the fitness world, so pre workouts and energy drinks are extremely important to me. When I first tried Celcious, I thought I had FINALLY found the healthiest and best tasting energy drink. I love all the flavors, the fact that it’s green tea energy, fat burning, combined with all the vitamins added.

I recommended this to all my friends, and then realized I missed one major fact: SUCRALOSE. This completely turned me off, and it saddens me that a drink that is claiming to be healthy is adding one of the most dangerous sugar substances.

Please make some without sucralose for us who have been looking for an actually healthy energy drink. #changetheindustry.

I really enjoy the the test if Peach/Mango. Trying to cut back on sugar and soda. It gives Engery without caffeine. Trying to reduce calories. Engery and clinch my thirst! I feel satisfy into my meals.

These came in clutch when I was trying to wean myself off of red bull. Would definitely recommend as an alternate to “traditional” energy drinks like monster and red bull. These are still quite acidic (what energy drink isn’t?) but they weren’t as bad as red bull or monster.

I liked the fact that they weren’t carbonated.

I love V8juices, specifically this one! They are super flavorful literally addicting. But also more healthy than many of the alternatives available. These juices are always super high quality I’ve never had a problem with any V8 products they are always a huge hit with everyone.

I highly recommend buying this product!!!.

Great tasting and a great way to get your fill of fruits and vegetables. I drink these almost everyday. Switching between Pomegranate/Blueberry and Strawberry Banana. The cans are very tiny though. They’re gone in 3 swallows.

Just wish they came in bigger sized cans.

Was dying to try since I heard it was coming out. The gas station I frequent had signs up forever and now not even carrying them. However Vitamin Shoppe has got me covered and such a great deal worth every single penny.

Pineapple Coconut is my favorite flavor so far. I work long days and very physically I drink one in the morning and it keeps me ready and roaring to go all day. Orange wasn’t so great but looking forward to trying all the sugar free kinds.

Blows BANG out of the water for sure. Lightly flavored but enough for it to taste great!.

Honestly, Pineapple and Coconut are not flavors you’d find on my personal menu at all. When I initially tried all the flavors when ZOA first came out, this was the one I was least excited about. Then, as the universe loves to do, everything flipped on its head.

It’s by far my favorite of the original batch and new batch of flavors, and it has helped tremendously in my effort to wean off soda, more specifically Dr. Pepper, which for many years could’ve been hooked to me through an IV.

Can’t thank the team enough for creating this drink and giving me another tool for having a healthier lifestyle.

ZOA Is a great drink. I’ve tried all the flavors and my favorites are the zero sugar pineapple coconut and the zero sugar Wildberry. I have actually replaced my morning coffee with one pineapple coconut zero sugar ZOA and get a much better kick start to my day.

I really enjoy this product. I’ve tried other energy products and the flavors are just off to me but this is delicious. My only complaint is that I always want to drink two or three of them and they don’t last long enough.

I’ve seen some reviews complaining about it having a vitamin taste. I have noticed that but the pineapple coconut and Wildberry zero sugar really mask the vitamin flavor. Great product strongly recommend drink them ice cold.

I stopped liking Rockstars, couldn’t find one I really liked until GOJI! HANDS DOWN THE BEST ENERGY DRINK! Has the amount of caffeine I like, and the flavor is impeccable!! Every other energy drink either doesn’t have enough energy or the flavor is off.

It has an alright taste, but unfortunately it’s no Baja Guava Lime. Will just be going back to the original I guess. Hopefully rockstar realizes their error in discontinuing the Baja rockstars sooner than later.

Extremely light denting on the cans, not a big deal as that just happens. Flavor is pretty great, especially for people who like their drinks the slightest bit tart.

I bought these Monster Energy Drinks (Lo-Carb, 16 Ounce, Pack of 24) via Subscribe and Save for the added savings. These contain 140 mg of caffeine per can. My husband drinks one of these almost daily on work days and every time I ask him if I should order these, he says no, because he doesn’t want the chemicals.

Well for roughly $1. 25 a can, these are a heck of a lot cheaper than at the gas station or our local stores, so I’m buying them here, haha. If we’re going to have guilty pleasures, they may as well be inexpensive, right? Until we kick this tasty habit, we’ll continue to buy them here.

They also arrived packaged like gold was inside, talk about protection! Uploading some photos so you can get a closer look and see what I mean. Last photo includes the nutrition facts and ingredients.

Smile. Hope this is helpful!.

I live on energy drinks and coffee. I’ve tried many different brands and flavors over the years but this one has been my favorite for the past few months. I tried it on a whim because the can artwork is so cute, and mango flavors are usually hard to mess up.

It’s literally a mango juice with a little carbonation, the energy part is extra. If you’re turned off by the traditional energy drink taste and/or super sweet drinks, this might be a winner for you.

I don’t even care for the original monster but I will stock up on this one in a heartbeat anytime. There’s also a zero sugar version that is the same color without the sugar skull artwork that tastes almost the same.

I am reviewing Monster Juice energy drink, Aussie Lemonade. Unfortunately, I could not find it when searching for products. This Aussie lemonade Monster juice is very refreshing. It almost reminds me of Fresca soda mixed with lemonade.

Perfect amount of carbonation. I really enjoyed trying this new Monster Juice energy drink. I normally go with the rehab ones but this has an extra kick to it. I definitely will purchase this drink again if I can find it easier.

Not all stores in my area sell this new drink. I highly recommend trying it.
