Ugly Drinks recently added to its range of zero-calorie flavored sparkling waters with a sub-line of caffeine-infused products for energy. The Energized products are available in simple fruit flavors like Peach, Lemon Lime, Berry and Pink Grapefruit, each of which contains 160 milligrams of natural caffeine from a blend of ginseng and guarana. Most of these flavors will already be familiar to those who already enjoy Ugly Drinks, although now they may do so with added functional benefits.
To help people keep their energy levels high, Ugly Drinks offers Energized as part of 12-pack cases and monthly subscriptions, so that it's easy to be stocked up on the energizing beverages on a regular basis.
Ugly Drinks was inspired to create Energized based on customer feedback and the desire to shift towards creating even healthier drinks.
