The
problem with reviewing a specialty shot like this is the fact that I don’t
drink, and because I don’t drink I’ve never had a hangover nor plan on having
one, and because of that I’ll never be able to review this shot based on that
feature. I do, however, have a
teething 9-month old that hasn’t been letting me sleep the past couple of
nights—and when I wake up, I definitely feel that I could use a recovery of
sorts. So this recovery shot is
getting reviewed as an energy shot.
In this regard it performs great; if you’re really needing to know if
it’s going to do it for your hangover I’d recommend Big Red Boot’s review here.
CAFFEINE
CONTENT
220
mg
EASE
IN ACQUISITION—2
Fairly
scattered.
APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—7
Not
all that bad, really—mostly I like it because it stands out from the rest of
the surrounding energy shots because it’s so bright. I don’t particularly get the tiger or the quote (I’m
assuming they’re supposed to be humorous) but then again I never saw the movie,
so that shouldn’t come as a surprise.
TASTE—7
This
is the shot’s blessing and the shot’s curse, in my opinion. On one hand, it tastes vastly better
than any of the 5 Hour Energy shots or any of the other similar-tasting shots
I’ve had—it has no bitterness, no aftertaste, and no artificial sweetener
flavors; it’s one of the most…pure-tasting things I’ve ever had in the sense
that the flavor is completely unadulterated by interfering influences. But on the other, it’s fruit-punch
flavored—now, it’s about the best-executed fruit punch flavor I’ve ever had,
but on the other hand, it’s still something I’m not fond of. Bottom line is if you love fruit punch
and love shots, then this one will have you drooling…albeit energetically.
KICK
(INTENSITY)—9
This
shot has a pretty serious dose of caffeine for a shot, so it shouldn’t come as
a surprise that it’s pretty potent—I went from being unresponsive in my Lazy
Boy to buzzing no more than five minutes after I had this shot. Interesting to note that for about a
half hour after drinking it, I still felt the fatigue—it just wasn’t bothering
me—but that went away eventually also.
KICK
(DURATION)—9
This
lasted about four hours before I crashed (would have loved it had the effects
been a little more prolonged, but I suppose I can’t complain…), and it was
enough of a crash to put me off.
Not an ideal feature, especially since this is definitely a morning
shot.
THE
SHOT OVERALL—8.33
All
in all, this is a decent shot.
Again, because of the crash it’s not something I’d recommend in the
mornings, but for a boost to keep you going from early afternoon to the end of the
day, it’ll do just fine.

I have used it for both as a hangover recovery shot and its really worked in about an hour I felt so much better,I mean it really recovered my hangover. This shot works, It's designed for hangover but i have to give this company credit as it taste great and i have used it for energy also and i have not experineced a crash, like i get with 5hr or other shots. This shot also does not jack me up. I think its one of the best product on the market for hangovers and energy. Way to go Hangover Joe's, this is a very good product and i love the movie and the shot!
ReplyDeleteIt's been about 15 minutes since I took about 1/2 of a shoot but for the first 5 minutes I felt a surge of caffeine. First I felt itchy all over and thought I was going to break out in hives. Now it’s been 20 minutes and I feel just slightly light headed, but ready to start my day. Hit you back when I get off work tonight at 11pm.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to it.
DeleteI apologize for 2 day late response but WOW…… I got to work and it was on and popping I over worked myself but it was so worth it. Things I constantly said I wanted to get done was completed along with other incomplete tasks. I was standing at the time clock 10:55pm. Today I took the other ½ of the bottle around 11am and went back to sleep (believe me I got LITT UP last night) and this time I felt a little flush but when I woke up about 1pm I was straight. I had another wonderful day at work and ready for the weekend. (Hehe Haha)
