Taste & Description
Description: Each unit you purchase (by the case) is (24) 2oz Bottles. The base beverage is created with our own purified and UV sterilized water that we make on site (this is some high quality H2O). This shot is everything you could expect inside our full size canned ENERGY DRINK, but crammed inside a 2oz bottle. Great for on-the-go POWER without filling you up. The sweetener, flavor, and acidity are all balanced for maximum intensity and masking the functional nutritional add-ons for the cleanest taste. You will still be able to taste to your nutritional add-ons due to their high potency. Remember to shake well! Sediment is normal in this type of beverage.
Comparable Products: You could compare the taste profile of this product to brands you may have found in your local super market to help you decide. Just like traditional energy shots this customizable beverage is pushing the needle on intensity, bold flavor and sweetness. This product is comparable taste wise to : 5-Hour Energy®, Bang® VPX Energy Shot, Stacker® 2, Tweaker® B Energy, ONNIT® Shot, and Redline® Xtreme.
Appearance / Color: If you are interested in the aesthetics we do offer the option to add a color system to your creation. By default this beverage is clear like water, with possible tints of yellow or cloudiness coming from the nutrients you choose to add.
None / No Color Added: Choose this option to leave the color additives out. Your beverage will be the natural color/clarity as the nutrients you choose.
Natural Color from Fruit and Vegetable Extracts: *Warning* natural colors are very light sensitive. They will fade quickly if left exposed to light. Natural colors are created from extracts from fruits and vegetables (purple carrots, purple potatoes, ex-berries and other vibrant plants). Compared to synthetic color, natural colors are only available in limited color options.
Synthetic Color: These are the most common colors found in beverages that use a color system. They are rock solid for durability and resist fading. They do not affect taste and are a good option to add stable bling to your beverage.
The Process: After you place an order, we will formulate, blend ingredients, batch, and package your specific beverage based on your choices. This takes a little bit of time, so please be patient. As long as all raw materials are available, we expect orders to be produced within 10-12 business days. Once an order is filled and labeled we will then prepare to ship the products directly to your door. We also offer pickup from our facility, for most products, if you want to save on shipping costs and time.

Flavors & Sweeteners
Flavors:We utilize only Natural Flavors and Extracts in all of our creations. All of our flavors are 100% produced and manufactured in the U.S.A. using ingredients that are sourced globally. Unlike artificial flavors, natural flavors are produced by combining purified isolates from essential oils, roots, botanicals, fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices that must be naturally occurring. In other words, we cannot use anything man made or synthetic.
Sweeteners:
Pure Cane Sugar: Some say the best sweetener ever made. We concur! Sugar is a wonderful sweetener for a clean, warm, and smooth taste profile. It provides great mouthfeel and does not leave any aftertaste. It is also great for minimizing any bitterness or off-notes caused by caffeine or other stimulants. The down side is every one gram of sugar brings just under four calories to the beverage.
Sucralose: (recommended for Energy Shots!) Often referred to as "Splenda" and sometimes confused with aspartame (it is not!) is the closest "true to sugar" tasting sugar alternative that does not bring any calories with it. It is the most common sugar alternative in the world and 8 out of 10 sugar free products utilize this ingredient. It is also much sweeter than sugar, because of this we are able to achieve sweeter flavor profiles without creating a syrupy and cloying mouthfeel. This makes sucralose the number one choice for energy shots as it has an incredible ability to hide the taste of vitamins and supplements.
Stevia Leaf Extract : Stevia is another sugar alternative that aims to keep those calories away. Stevia is a concentrated natural extract from a Stevia plant (sometimes called Candy Leaf plant). It is known that the Stevia plant has been used to sweeten food and drink for over 1,500 years, but refinement by food scientist have only begun improving its taste for the past fifteen years or so. This makes it the new kid on the block when compared to sugar. It has a taste profile that is not as smooth as sugar with a fast onset and sharp decline. For those people with a sensitive palate, you may be able to detect a slight bitter aftertaste if you know what you looking for. These attributes make this a great sweetener for mellow flavors without lots of added nutrients or bitter vitamins.
Nutrients
Vitamin B Complex - B Vitamins are essential to intake as one's daily diet as they provide vital function and benefit to the body. B-Vitamins cannot be manufactured inside the body directly and must be supplemented. Our custom Vitamin B Complex is a blend of Vitamin B-1 (as thiamine) @ 550mcg, Vitamin B-3 (as niacin) @ 7mg, Vitamin B-6 (as pyridoxine) @ 650mcg, Vitamin B-7 (as biotin) @ 15mcg, Vitamin B-12(as cyanocobalamin) @ 1.2mcg. Although not verified by the FDA, B-Vitamins are associated with healthy nerve function, energy boost, healthy metabolic function, cardiovascular health, anti-inflammatory properties, joint health and a healthy mindset. B-Vitamins do add a slight chalky and nutraceutical taste; yet we minimize this taste and balance the beverage with our flavor levels and formulation.
Energize - Caffeine provides the fast onset rush of energy and elevated mood to help get the day started or to keep us going all day long. It works by stimulating the brain and central nervous system, helping you stay alert and prevent the onset of tiredness. It is a staple in energy products and is making its way into many additional categories. High levels of caffeine in beverages create a bitter back of the throat/tongue taste, but we offset this bitterness with sweetness to smooth out the experience.
Electrolytes - Sodium, Potassium, and Magnesium are minerals that help conduct electricity in your body. When exercising they are the “other” ingredients, besides water, that you will find in sweat, and they are purged and consumed aggressively with alcohol consumption. Every hangover cure will always contain these essential three minerals. As these minerals are such vital components for body functioning, it’s a wonder that most males and females are deficient in these three minerals. Being deficient in electrolytes will make you feel slow, sluggish, and tired. Electrolytes do not have a distinct taste and when used at appropriate levels do not leave a salty aftertaste.
Focus - L-Theanine is found naturally in tea and has recently begun being classified as a Nootropic, which is known to provide a calm state of mind without making you drowsy. According to nutritionists it aids in Alpha Wave brain function, cognitive awareness, clear mindedness, and stress relief. It is relatively tasteless in beverage environments which makes it great for many beverage types. L-Theanine has a very neutral taste and is highly soluble in beverages, which makes a great fit for customized drinks.
BCAA Blend - Branched Chain Amino Acids support muscles. Some might say that BCCAs do the heavy lifting. They help protein synthesis, suppress protein degradation (which reduces muscle damage, and increases endurance). In a sports activity or intense exercise BCCA’s retain critical glycogen content and suppress the production of lactic acid within the muscle fibers. Our blend of L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine are the three essential amino acids and we deliver them in the instant 2:1:1 ratio for a balanced level of each amino acid.
Creatine - Creatine is used to increase muscle mass, performance, and strength. It is one of the world’s most tested supplements and has an amazing reputation, being a highly recommended Nootropic supplement as well. It behaves similarly to BCAAs in the body and is generally recommended to use with BCAAS and protein. It can improve muscular strength and cellular health. As it helps to free up energy for your brain cells, it is linked to improved short-term memory and reasoning skills.
Taurine - Sometimes grouped into the BCCA category or stimulant category like caffeine, but truly it doesn't fit into either category. It’s best described as an anti-inflammatory mixed with brain alertness, but don’t expect that spike of surge of nervous energy like caffeine. It may also support happier mood, muscle recovery, and eye health. It plugs well with most flavor types because it does not impart much taste into beverages, and is a great companion to caffeine.
Mind - American Panax Ginseng extract is an amazing antioxidant/adaptogen and is best known for its reputation to aid in memory retention and mental clarity over time. Regular consumption of ginseng shows support for healthy skin, boosting your immune system and improving sexual health. It has a very strong bitter and earthy taste, so we make sure to deploy it at a conservative dosage to blend well with the beverage. It may leave a slight sediment that will settle at the bottom of the beverage, so make sure to shake gently before consuming.
Label Customization
Label Options: We offer three unique options for customizing your label.
"Customize Text and/or Add an Image" - You can customize the front of the stock (pictured) beverage label with your own text and name. Additionally, you can use the image uploader to send us a fun pic or business logo that will be placed on the front of the label as well. Use the comments box to tell us what you want to add. We will email a draft image for you to approve before your beverage is manufactured.
"Design a Label for me" $49.99 - We will work with you to develop a label design that will be one-of-a-kind. We will create a fully customized label for your beverage. Use the comments box to describe what you would like to see. We will contact you via email after your purchase to start the collaboration. We will then email a draft image for you to approve before your beverage is manufactured.
"Make my own Label" $24.99 - Use this option if you want to design your own label. After placing your order, we will email you a die-line template for you to format your label design and email it back to us. This option is usually reserved for customers with graphic design experience.
Please note associated fees for labeling customizations are one-time only per beverage. (i.e. if ordering multiple cases of the same product you only pay the labeling fee one-time, you can also reorder at a later date and use your same customized label with no additional costs.)
Our Label Technology:
Printers: We utilize state of the art 1200x1200 dpi resolution printers paired with ultrachrome pigment inks for maximum color gamut and clarity. The result is true photo realistic image reproduction that really shows off your logo, artwork, or beautiful smiling face with the same quality as a Kodak print.
Material: Quality is everything, and it's not easy to find (we spent over 6 months testing and examining every label material available). We choose BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) for its incredible chemical resistance, adhesive strength, clarity, and temperature resilience.
Finishing: Again, with quality in mind we go the extra mile, and laminate all of our labels with a high clarity polypropylene film to lock in the inks and add a true waterproof barrier.
Shelf Life & Allergens
Shelf Life: All products are manufactured fresh when you order them to ensure they arrive to you with maximum shelf life. Products are formulated for 6+ month shelf life and will have a "best buy" dated printed on the label or container. Shelf life is not a guarantee, but rather a recommendation and is best protected by how you store your drinks! A beverage that is stored in a cool, dry, and dark environment will last much longer than a beverage that is stored in direct sunlight or in a hot garage during summer time.
Allergens: As part of our commitment to transparency and safety we examine any and all ingredients we use to manufacture our beverages to ensure that they do not contain any FDA recognized components that could cause an allergic reaction. These allergens include peanuts, soybeans, milk, eggs, fish, crustacean, tree nuts, and wheat, as well as gluten, soy products, dairy products, egg products, shellfish, and sulfites. We endeavor to ensure that neither we, nor our suppliers, intentionally add any known (recognized) allergens into our products. Our facility is privately operated and not shared or co-operated by other entities. All our products have been manufactured in compliance with applicable Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs).
