Sometimes while I’m working out or teaching a water fitness class, people will ask me, “What’s that orange looking drink you’re sipping on?”  I tell them it’s the Twin Lab Choline Cocktail Energy Drink.

“The “choline cocktail” contains such mind-body nutrients as choline, DMAE, and guarana to help achieve mental focus and think faster and more accurately.  You don’t have to be an elite athlete to reap the rewards of these mind-body nutrients.  Anyone who needs extended mental and physical energy can benefit from using a choline cocktail,” says Robert Haas, World Renowned Nutritionist and creator of the Choline Coctail (p. 125).

Sometimes I use choline cocktail in the morning before going to work instead of coffee or before a mentally or physically challenging event, such as public speaking.  I believe it gives me a great boost while performing intense workouts or when playing a sport that requires a lot of concentration, such as basketball.

Some people like the taste, others hate it.  I tend to love it.  I recommend adding 2 ounces of orange juice with a few ice cubes and mixing it in a blender.

I’ve been using Choline Cocktail off and on since 1992.  I originally found out about it from Robert Haas’ books “Eat to Win” and “Eat Smart, Think Smart.”  Haas developed the formula back in the 80’s and states it was the “secret drink” Martina Navratilova and Ivan Lendl used to improve alertness, fight fatigue, improve stroke production, and win so many tennis tournaments.

Please note:  Choline Cocktail is not recommended for individuals with high blood pressure, diabetes, pregnant or lactating, or who are sensitive to caffeine.  Always consult your doctor before taking any supplement for the first time.

Additionally, this product is not like the hyped up energy drinks currently on the market with tons of sugar and other uneccessary ingrediants.  Choline Cocktail is way more advanced and effective.  You’ll notice a difference the first time using it.

I emailed Robert Haas last year and asked him if he had plans for updating the formula.  Surprisingly, he responded to my email and said within a period of 1 - 2 years he would be releasing an updated and improved version.

You have to like the effects of caffeine to like this drink because it is strong.  I tend to love the effects of caffeine . . . of course in moderation.  In comparison, it’s slightly more than a strongly brewed cup of coffee (Brazilian or Cuban). 

Try it if you like a drink with a caffeine kick!
