Caramel Kick is another winner from Adina – a coffee drink that is sweet and delicious, while giving you more than enough energy to get you moving. If you can handle a sweet cold drink in the morning, this is a great way to go.
Nutrition/Buzz:9
Not only do they use organic fair trade coffee, but they also fill this with up to 4 fruit servings of antioxidants by using the whole bean – so it is actually better for you than your average hot cup of joe. There is 100mg of caffeine in this tiny 8oz can, using guarana as an caffeine boost, and use organic sugar and milk which makes up the 100mg. The buzz is long lasting ( about 3 hours or so for me) , and the health benefits of Caramel Kick definitely outweigh the calorie content. For those who like cold caramel machiattos, I urge you to give this one a try.

Taste:8
This is a great flavor – although not as sweet and rich as I usually like my caramel coffees. I am the type of person who likes it to taste like I am drinking deep rich actual thick caramel – like the kind you would put on your ice cream or eat straight from it’s candy wrapper. This caramel tasted very close to the caramel flavored coffee syrups you would find in most coffee shops. The coffee is also very nice and smooth here, tasting deep and delicious, rounding out the caramel nicely. There is not even any trace of the bitterness of their Double Xxpresso – providing a mellow easy to drink can – with a nice sweet but not overpowering caramel-ly aftertaste.

Packaging:8

Of all the masks they have on the front of the package, I think this one is the most amazing. The marbled background of the brown mask stands out most with this nice dark caramel background – adding that finished distinctive touch to the can. This unique and very cool package works well and stands out when I saw it on the Whole Foods aisles. It seemed to stand out as a coffee drink, but grab people with the energy drink qualities. Not sure how this would play at the local 7-11, but fits in very nicely surrounded by natural and organic foods. Like the other Adina coffee energy drink flavors, I think it is a mistake not listing the caffeine content on the can, as most of their consumers would be curious – and very conscious of what they eat.
