Cintron Tropical Azul Sugar Free

A Fair & Honest Energy Drink Review

Cintron Tropical Azul Sugar Free Retail Package Description

The Cintron name, "taste the difference" slogan, "zero calorie" and "zero carbs" appear in the Corona font, which I've seen referred to as "Cloister Black" at dafont.com. The can is mostly silver with a white ring around the top 15-20 percent. Within the white is continually repeated, "sugar-free tropical azul". In the bottom right are some flowers, the sun, and a wave. At the bottom, "8.4 fl. oz. (250ml) - energy supplement". The back just contains the standard warning about caffeine, people sensitive to caffeine, children, knocked up women and lactating women.

Caffeine Addict's Cintron Tropical Azul Sugar Free Review

Cintron sent us heaps of products. They make shots in several flavors, along with 8.4 and 16oz. offerings of multiple flavors. We decided to review the Tropical Azul sugar free first, as we think it's one of the most appealing all-around. Cintron's branding falls somewhere between Absolute Citron and Corona. I have to guess they are hoping you make some mental connection and use this drink as a mixer.

The taste is pleasantly tart and fruity, and it's not so inundated with sucralose as to leave you with a film coating on your teeth, which we've experienced with other sucralose drinks. Cintron is relatively high in sodium, 9% of the USRDA per serving, so like a margarita, it's not incredibly thirst quenching.

Red Bull is the industry leader, I can only guess because consumers are largely uninformed. As the industry leader, however ill-deserving they are of that title, they should make a fine point of comparison for Cintron. I believe Red Bull Sugar Free has a pronounced chemical aftertaste, something akin to Aqua Net, most likely from the aspartame. I don't experience this perm parlor aerosol taint with Cintron's offering. For those imaginary people who were "blowing up Monster's inbox for years" to get them to offer a 0 calorie alternative to their 10 calorie lo-carb drink, Cintron should be the clear choice over Red Bull Sugar Free. Functionally, it contains all the major energizing components, caffeine, taurine, and b-vitamins. Cintron does contain about 10% more caffeine per serving. To conclude the explanation of Cintron as superior, in every way to Red Bull Sugar Free, Cintron's MSRP is $1.79, 20-40 cent less than the average Red Bull Sugar Free retail price.

Energy Junkie's Cintron Tropical Azul Sugar Free Review

Ok, firstly, there's a little thing over the "o" at the end of Cintron, but RSS dislikes when I give it things that are plain text, and I'm not in the business of questioning RSS. Additionally, the video didn't have room for "Sugar Free", and Jason argued that we probably wouldn't ever get around to reviewing the non-sugar free one anyway.

With that said, other than getting this product in the mail, I've never heard of it. As Jason half-heatedly described, the name really is an amalgamation of several industry-leading alcoholic beverage company names, clearly represented in the Corona font.

The taste is fruity, but I find my enjoyment declines corresponding to any decrease in carbonation. I'm not a sophisticated drinker, and I recommend not mixing alcohol with energy drinks. That being said, my best guess, taking all the branding, etc. into account, would be that they either want you mixing this with tequila. This somewhat makes sense, as I think it tastes remotely like Full Throttle Blue Demon.

I find Cintron Liquid Energy Tropical Azul Sugar Free to be plenty energizing. It's not breaking new ground, but it keeps me awake and alert. I don't see the suggested retail price raising a great deal of eyebrows either, but it is cheaper than many other 8.3-8.4 ounce energy drinks, even if it's marginally.
