I love AriZona Beverage Co and everything they make, and their Rx Energy beverage is no exception. AriZona’s Rx Energy isn’t like other energy drinks though, because the Herbal Tonic doesn’t contain carbonated water (or any carbonation for that matter) or artificial ingredients. This drink is made of: Green Tea, Mango (which gives this drink an amazing flavor), Pear and Lemon Juice, and Honey, so there’s no nasty aftertaste or weird chemical tastes in it like those low end, generic, energy drinks have. After drinking this stuff, I felt the effects of it right away. I became more alert, and was no longer tired. I became disappointed when I ran out of it, because the mango taste is absolutely amazing, and the fact that I cannot drink anymore of this until I go buy more upsets me. What makes this drink so great and interesting is the fact that it contains AriZona’s premium brewed green tea, which is found in their other products, giving Rx Energy a very distinct taste. Rx Energy comes in a 24 oz can, or in a 20 oz glass bottle (picture here) for .99 or 1.99, respectively. Buying the can is a much better deal, but the bottle is great if you are out and need to put it aside for a bit, which I would never do because I can’t not (hooray for double negatives) drink it. Herbal Tonic also contains Caffeine, Panax Ginseng and Siberian Ginseng, and Guarana, giving it the properties of an energy drink, which is why it’s labeled as a Tea and Energy Drink. I don’t know how much caffeine is in this, but I emailed AriZona earlier asking for the answer, so I’ll update this when they reply. A 24oz can of AriZona Rx Energy Herbal Tonic contains 90mg of caffeine (30mg per 8oz), which isn’t as much as some drinks, so it’s perfect for people that can’t handle too much caffeine that still want an energy boost. Arizona Rx Energy Herbal Tonic is absolutely amazing, it’s cheap, great tasting, natural, and delivers a good kick. This drink is something that everyone should try.

AriZona Lite Green Tea Lemonade
It seems like AriZona Beverages is constantly adding new products to their lineup. This happens to be the case with AriZona’s new Lite Green Tea Lemonade, and according to the information on their site, there is an Arnold Palmer variation (much like the Arnold Palmer 1/2 Iced Tea 1/2 Lemonade Product) so it seems that AriZona may have replaced the Iced Tea Lemonade with Green Tea Lemonade. Nevertheless I am quite pleased with this product as even with only 22.5mg of caffeine what it lacks in caffeine it makes up in taste. The taste does seem to lean more towards iced tea then it does towards green tea, although this may be due to the lemonade in it. An easy way to sum up the taste of this product would be to compare it to Lipton Brisk or Nestea, basically it is just a lemony iced tea. Even though this product lacks originality, the fact that it contains 1/3 the calories (and it does contain less sugar) in addition to its low cost of 99¬¢ for 24oz. will appeal to many people. So if you are looking for a healthier, more natural (AriZona does not use preservatives and uses all natural flavoring unlike its competitors) and certainly cheaper alternative to Brisk and Nestea, AriZona Lite Green Tea Lemonade will hit the spot.
