Beverages, Energy Drink with carbonated water and high fructose corn syrup

This type of energy drink is a carbonated, sweetened beverage built on a base of carbonated water and high fructose corn syrup, typically flavored and served chilled straight from the can or poured over ice. It's consumed on its own rather than mixed into recipes, often as a quick pick-me-up during a workday or study session, or paired with a workout, and its light, fizzy sweetness makes it closer in style to a soda than a juice.

Once opened, an energy drink loses its carbonation fairly quickly, so it's best finished soon after opening or transferred to a sealed container in the fridge if you want to save the rest for later; unopened cans keep well at room temperature until the date on the can. At just 62 calories per 100 g, or roughly 149 calories in a 240 g can-sized serving, it's a lighter option calorie-wise than many sodas, and it's naturally low in sodium at 48 mg per 100 g. It does reach 28% DV for vitamin C per 100 g, and carries 13.8 g sugar per 100 g, so it's worth checking the can if you're tracking sugar intake across the day.
