Slap Energy Shot

Product Type:Functional: Energy Shot; Container: 2 oz. shot
BevNET Review: The Lemon Ice variety of Slap Energy Shot is an enjoyable tasting shot that delivers a decent hit of energy. The most notable point of differentiation about this product is its use of tea, in both white tea and yerba mate formats. This adds an innovative component to the taste, which has noticeable notes of tea as well as a slight splash of lemon flavor. The product uses a three sweetener blend of fructose, acesulfame potassium, and sucralose, which keeps the calories at 10 per bottle while delivering a moderate level of sweetness and only a mild amount of aftertaste. We like Slap Energy Shot's efforts to be creative with packaging, using the skinny 2 oz bottle and a proprietary cap design. The label is funky and fun, which is a nice alternative to the pharma or aggressive style of so many of the entrants into this category. Overall, a very well executed shot.Reviewed on: 12/12/2008

BevNET Review: Labeled as "tea + energy," this 2 oz shot has a very enjoyable and innovative flavor. Aside from the use of tea (white and yerba mate), this product does deliver with a "crisp" apple flavor. It's a pairing that works quite well, allowing the product to have an enjoyable, non medicinal taste. From a functionality point of view, the use of tea, mate, and other straight forward ingredients seems like a leg up for this product. On the outside, they've chosen colors and a label design that make the product seem much less off putting than some of the other products making their way into this category. In summary, Slap Energy Shot's Crisp Apple is an excellent entry that delivers with good flavor, a decent hit of energy, and packaging that stands out.Reviewed on: 12/12/2008
