Introduction

First review back in years, so I’m excited about this one. Picked it up from a 7-Eleven where the cashier called this drink “the good stuff”.

Appearance

Can has a cool design which is consistent with overall Alani Nu branding.

Taste

Taste is great. Definitely going for a cherry limeade. Starts out with a cherry burst, you get the citrus flavor next, and then I’d say the aftertaste is primarily sweet cherry.

Kick

200mg is perfect for me. Got an instant boost when I started drinking it.

Conclusion

Great but not perfect. I’d prefer a bit more sour with the lime and less sweetness from the cherry – basically a slightly different limeade combo.
