Drinks: Cintron Liquid Energy
By Amy Strauss
Cintron Liquid Energy
($1.99)
I have been unfaithful, Red Bull. As you know, I’ve been tempted before by all the other energy drinks out there: Tab, AMP, Rockstar. But none were quite as effective as you — until I found Cintron. It’s local, developed by Camden pastor Joe Roberts. And it tastes good. A bold claim, I know: an energy drink that actually tastes good. But the Latin-inspired flavors won me over. With Tropical Azul, Citrus Mango and Pineapple Passion among the options, well, I wasn’t disappointed. Cintron is also larger than most energy drinks — 16 ounces — but I wasn’t intimidated. If I just want a little Cintron, the handy plastic lid caps off the rest for another time. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have some vodka with my Cintron. And I’d be lying again if I said it didn’t keep me dancing all night. Goodbye, Red Bull. Grade: A
