I think it's definitely before impressive how much effort which provide already in the product description, this is not just a go Smacked text, but quite cool raised as a fact sheet. The idea is great, need to realize that it is a slightly different energy drink;)
Price and source:
As I have described above to buy this energy drink almost always at Real. To buy it's there but also at Rewe or at gas stations. At Real, the can will cost 1.49. The can contains 250 ml of energy drinks. So that makes a price of 5.96 / l. Find that sounds only once at a lot, but compared with other energy drinks about the same price.
Now I come to my personal experience and my opinion about this product.
Packing:
The energy drink is filled in a black tin box. Therefore, this energy drink wears colloquially called black box. I think it's good that the color is black, because it is easy to differentiate the supermarket from the other energy drinks and one can not lay hands so quickly, if you take not look closely;)
The box can be opened using an eyelet which you pull up like all other beverage cans. But as always caution that no previous colleague had in his hand and was shaken, then it bubbles over. Have I already experienced all ^^
Taste:
The best thing about this energy drink is that it does not contain taurine. Really any other energy drink containing taurine and I find that underlines this typical energy drink taste, I find the taste of taurine really disgusting and have the other energy drinks only drunk because I was not yet 28 Black knew.
This energy drink tastes sweet, refreshing and a bit like a mix of strawberry and raspberry. It is carbon dioxide contained accordingly tingles it enjoyable while drinking and deletes super thirst. But does not taste like a normal energy drink definitely. If I had attempts eyes closed and did not know that it's an energy drink, then I probably would have said it is a fruit juice mixed with soda. So Fruity sprudelig but a little sweeter than fruit spritzers in general.
If this energy drink would not have a lot of sugar and would not have an impact on blood pressure, I would replace the energy drink against my daily water tastes so good to me.
Effect:
Just like any energy drink makes you feel more awake then. But in this case the feeling that it lasts longer so about 5 hours I have of what. So it is not good, the evening by 21 clock to drink yet, then you can not sleep, so I at least do not, but everyone tolerates indeed different.
For people with high blood pressure when consumed careful the way. Like all energy drinks increases blood pressure in this case also, realize it myself, when I drink too much of it. I realize then how my heart is getting faster and later I get a headache, so drink a maximum of a can. It is the way it also on the can that one of them gets hypertension.
Other versions:
There are also the so-called white box. She is in a white box, as its name suggests. Should probably similar but taste is complete without sugar but with a sweetener called Stevia. This drink has therefore end up less than 1 kcal per 100 ml. I would like to try it, but the white box, unfortunately I have discovered so far nowhere. They can indeed ordered over the internet, but only as a range with 24 doses and would not be so nice if the taste is not the end.
Cocktails with the black box!
Because I'm a cocktail evening with friends about every 2 months, the idea is we come just once to mix a cocktail with this energy drink, because Red Bull and Co. to mix indeed. Since this Energy Drink tastes fruity we are refined with fruity ingredients and of course a little alcohol.
Sweet Acai:
2 cl Malibu Coconut Rum
5 cl Orange Juice
2 cl lime juice
1 can of 28 BLACK
Put all ingredients into a shaker and durschütteln well. If you have no Shaker simply stir everything into a glass and, really makes no difference. Top it tastes Iced with ice cubes.
The cocktail tastes fruity, sweet and refreshing and is bright red or almost pink. I can not precisely define the color, best to try myself again, because it tastes really delicious.
Bloody Killer:
4 cl vodka
2 cl Rum
1 'squeezed lemon
1 can of 28 BLACK
The ingredients as in the previous recipe enter into a shaker and durschütteln well.
Top it tastes Iced with ice cubes.
The cocktail is not for the faint of heart and a burning taste cells briefly away. It's a funky taste explosion and the lemon gives the whole a certain something. Is well suited for test of courage. Please do not drink more than 2 cocktails thereof;)
Red Energy:
4 cl Bacardi Razz
1 cl Grenadine syrup
5 crushed raspberries (TK)
1 can of 28 BLACK
First, the raspberries with a fork or similar crush. Then the ingredients that give as in the previous recipes into a shaker and durschütteln well.
Top it tastes Iced with ice cubes.
The cocktail is again very sweet and fruity, and by the Acai drink, the raspberry and grenadine syrup, beet red. Just looks delicious and tastes good too. The alcohol does not notice you, so be careful when drinking.
Acai Berry:
The acai berry comes from the Amazon and is a staple for Brazilians. It contains many nutrients and vitamins. In addition, it is rejuvenating and purifying effect and can tumble through the high Omega-3 and Omega-6 share the kilos. But I would not count on it, because there are to no meaningful studies.
Shelf life:
The Energy Drink is durable, my current box is still more than a year shelf life, to be exact to December 2014. If this is so is buying a few cans in stock is no problem. Even if one forgets the time and place sometime back are determined still tenable.
Once you've opened the can should make you feel the same day drink empty otherwise they no longer taste the next day.
