High-energy mixers

I've never been a fan of using energy drinks like Red Bull as a mixer. Sure, I've downed a can here and there to stay awake during long drives, but the idea of prolonging the act of drinking a foul beverage by mixing it with something like vodka is beyond me.

While browsing BevNET, a beverage industry trade site, I noticed a few newly reviewed energy drinks that actually seem designed to play second fiddle to alcohol. A line of soft drinks called Jet Set Energy comes in mixer-like flavors including club soda, ginger ale, tonic water and "original." The latter hasn't been reviewed, but the red can leads me to believe it may be similar to a cola. The silhouette makes me think strip club, but the background is all Merry Melodies. Of the three that BevNET did review, the ginger ale got the highest marks.

Another similar line that fared much better with BevNET's reviewers was HiBall Energy. They too have tonic water, club soda and lemon-lime, as well as a berry flavor and an orange flavor. All are clear, unsweetened and chocked full of caffeine, taurine and, as an added bonus, B vitamins.
