Hey everyone, welcome back to Five Minute Eats! Today, we're diving into a Starbucks energy drink review. We've got a whole Starbucks playlist and an iced coffee playlist, so if you're into those, definitely check them out. Today, we're focusing on the Starbucks Triple Shot Energy in the bold mocha flavor. This energy coffee beverage packs 165 mg of caffeine, B vitamins, and protein, all in a sleek 150-calorie can priced at $3.50.
Product Overview
Starbucks has taken its energy drinks from a single shot to a double shot, and now to a triple shot. How long until we see a quadruple or even a ten-shot version? This bold mocha flavor is crafted with natural flavors, and at 11 ounces, it's quite a hefty drink.
First Impressions
The packaging looks premium and sleek, giving off an air of high quality. The drink itself smells great, like a good cup of coffee without any burnt notes. However, the thickness of the beverage is immediately noticeable. It’s quite dense, almost like a heavy cream, which can be off-putting for some.
Taste Test
While the mocha flavor is pleasant and not overly sweet, the texture is a significant drawback. The thickness makes it less enjoyable, especially if you’re looking for a quick, refreshing boost. It's best served ice-cold; once it warms up, the drink becomes even harder to consume.
Final Thoughts
For both of us, this drink is a thumbs down. The flavor is decent, but the overly thick consistency makes it difficult to finish, especially as it warms up. We believe a thinner version would be much more appealing.
Rating
- Thumbs Down: The drink is too thick and hard to consume in its entirety.
- Flavor: Bold mocha is good but slightly bitter.
- Texture: Unpleasantly thick, almost like heavy cream.
