Nuun hits a growing niche of drinks targeted at hydration replenishment. I like their aim at doing one thing, "optimal hydration" through electrolyte replacement, and doing that thing well. It's a viable alternative to other sports drinks, especially if you want to pass on the extra sugars, carbohydrates, and proteins in those sports drinks.

Gatorade Limon-Pepino (Lime-Cucumber) features a flavor that is mostly cucumbers, but finishes with a nice light lime taste. It's refreshing & tasty and would be great on a hot day at the beach with some chips y salsa y tacos y burritos!

Mountain Dew Supernova is an adequate drink with little purpose other than to serve as a marketing exercise. It's got a weak strawberry flavor that has nothing to do with Mountain Dew. But for some reason, it's back for a limited time. So drink up if you enjoy mediocre carbonated beverages… or do yourself a favor and find a bottle of Mountain Dew Pitch Black instead!

There are quite a few Mountain Dew flavor extensions that don't deserve to carry the Dew name (LiveWire, seriously?). Thankfully, Mountain Dew Pitch Black proves that a flavor extension can still pay tribute to the classic citrus Dew taste, while carefully weaving a grape taste profile into something already strong. It's great to see this drink return after a 7-year absence; we just wish it was on a permanent basis. We hope that customers will help Pepsi pay attention this time around.

Take 10 To Sleep is a blackberry-flavored relaxation beverage in 2 oz. shot form designed to help you sleep. Featuring melatonin, chamomile extract, valerian root extract, and rose hips extract, I actually found myself feeling tired after drinking it!
