It technically is an energy drink, but its bottle doesn&#8217;t look like one, so I&#8217;m not sure when I&#8217;m heading out of my second story apartment if I should take the extreme route, which includes smashing a window with a chair, making a running leap through the blown out window, tucking and rolling several times when I hit the ground, and then popping up into a Mr. Olympia pose, or if I should take the calm route, which involves using the stairs.<\/p>\n<p>Not only does the Raspberry Cranberry Lift Cranergy not look extreme on the outside, it also isn&#8217;t very extreme inside the bottle.  There aren&#8217;t any really extreme ingredients, like taurine, guarana, and licks Slash&#8217;s guitar.  It&#8217;s made up of cranberry, raspberry, and grape juices, which extreme people love&#8230;I mean, extremely old people love.  Green tea extract and B-Vitamins provide the Cranergy&#8217;s &#8220;natural energy.&#8221;  Each of the B-Vitamins supplies 70 percent of the daily recommended amount, but I don&#8217;t know how much the green tea extract provides.  Green tea is usually added to products because of its natural caffeine content, but nowhere on the packaging could I find the amount of caffeine it delivers, which makes this beverage even less extreme.<\/p>\n<p>Like most energy drinks, the Cranergy had a bite to it, but it was more of a tart bite than a bitter bite, which shouldn&#8217;t be surprising because as everyone with urinary tract infections know, cranberry juice is quite tart.  There&#8217;s also a slight bitterness that probably came from the green tea.  I enjoyed the Raspberry Cranberry Lift Cranergy because it tasted pretty much like other Ocean Spray cranberry beverages, so it will probably mix well with vodka.  It didn&#8217;t give me a lift of energy, but then again, I drink big honkin&#8217; extreme energy drinks with 100 plus milligrams of caffeine on a regular basis, so the Cranergy is like a tender stroking of my arm, while a real extreme energy drink is like an indian rope burn.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 12 ounces &#8211; 50 calories, 0 g of fat, 75 mg of sodium, 13 g of carbohydrates, 13 g of sugar, 0 g of protein, 100% vitamin C, 70% niacin, 70% vitamin B12, 70% vitamin B2, 70% vitamin B6, 70% pantothenic acid, and 0 g of extreme)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Ocean Spray Raspberry Cranberry Lift Cranergy<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $5.39<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 4 pack &#8211; 12 ounces<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Safeway<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  6 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Tastes like other Ocean Spray cranberry drinks.  50% fewer calories and less sugar than most energy drinks.  100% Vitamin C.
