Category 6 Huracan

Product Type:Functional: Energy Shot; Container: 2 fl oz
BevNET Review: We found the Lemon Lime variety of Huracan Category 6 shot to be more enjoyable than its orange counterpart. Mainly, it’s because the product’s acidic flavor helps cut the energy and sweetener aftertaste, but it also has a lighter mouth feel. On the other hand, the packaging issues still remain, with the front panel having emphasis on the “6” and “Huracan,” which made some of our staff think that the name was “6 Huracan.” In any event, the appearance and positioning of this product could definitely use some help. Otherwise, we’re fine with the flavor, although it’s certainly along the lines of what’s already on the market today.

Product Type:Functional: Energy Shot; Container: 2 fl oz
BevNET Review: Despite being called “Huracan” (a combo of “hurricane” and “can” as far as we can tell), this product comes in a standard 2 oz. shot container. Inside the container, you’ll find a sugar-free orange formulation, which is very much in line with other products in the category – light flavor, lots of kick, strong aftertaste. On the outside, we conceptually like the “category 6”, but something seems a bit lost with the “Huracan” name. Further on that point, the use of “6 hours of power and energy” is an unnecessary tag that sounds desperate and makes the product feel “me-too” in nature. Overall, it’s a decent shot, but we think the execution of the brand could be better.
