Rockstar Punched Guava: A New Day Has Dawned!
Readers, I am humbled. My search is over, my life is complete, angels are singing out in chorus.
I have found salvation, an oasis of productivity, in the best energy drink to ever hit the market: Rockstar Punched Guava.
I always kind of knew Rockstar would be the one to make the breakthrough, I just didn’t know when. The time is now, and I am thrilled. This is the newest drink in the Rockstar Punched line-up as far as I can tell and is not to be confused with Rockstar Juiced Guava.
I have numerous other reviews I’ve been piecing together over the past week, but at the first sip of this drink I’ve committed my focus to spreading the good word. No-thing-com-pares. This is the stuff caffeine addictions are made of.
Taste
Marvelous, aggressive, and kindhearted with a forgiving personality. Carbonation is perfect, the guava flavoring is not intrusive and it never gets old. Each sip, an influx of taste euphoria; each swallow, a conditioned reward for the next sip to come. This drink can be mixed with just about anything too, ranging from 7-up to Bacardi. When you first get into bed with this drink, do not hold back. Just be yourself and go all out, you will be welcomed into open arms.
Ingredients
Rockstar blends the best of both worlds. It does not depart from the wealth of natural energy ingredients so commonly found out there in energy drinks (ginkgo biloba, ginseng, milk thistle extract). At the same time, Rockstar acknowledges the fact that not one of these ingredients have been scientifically shown to do much of anything for you, so they hit it where it counts.
There is an incredibly thoughtful 120mg of caffeine per serving, and um… ya, hi – there’s 2.75 servings per bottle. No, that’s not 122.75mg of caffeine per bottle. The theory of multiplication would have it that this drink contains 330mg of caffeine, not to mention the ~68mg of guarana and B-vitamin content (!). Yes, that’s more than even most energy drink lovers would care to down in one sitting, But guess what, this drink comes in a bottle. Drink some now, some later! The angelic chorus grows louder…
Energy
My information processing bandwidth was just upgraded from 56K to T1. My thinking engine from an economic inline-4 to a twin turbocharged V12. The electrical conductors of my brain upgraded from nickel to gold and I’m only half-way through. My productivity has skyrocketed. I’ve basically written this entire review in about 25 minutes, no joke. After waiting a few hours, I’m happy to report I experienced no crash.
Verdict
Let me add I bought this drink for $1.99. It’s just too good to be true. I feel like God kills a kitten every time I drink one. Energy drink lovers, your search is over.

To be honest, I hated everything to come out of Rockstar, except for the coffee drinks and Punched. I haven’t had this one yet, but it should be great. The original punched was probably in my top 10, so i have high hopes.
Hey all, I wrote this review a few weeks back and have been downing this drink like crazy since then. So, consider this a long-term test drive report.
The drink is still as powerful as ever, but I have to admit the taste isn’t what it used to be for me. It’s still enjoyable, I just think I’m forcing my self into not liking it by drinking it all the time.
If you’re going to give this drink a go, make sure it’s cold and do not abuse it too much! Otherwise, the taste can wear on you.
If you get a chance to try this drink, please post back and let me know what you think!
Whaaaaaaaa- $1.99 for almost 24 oz?? That sounds way too good to be true. I’m now on a mission, to find this new object of my addiction. Cheers!
Damn, if only it would be available in Europe…
“I feel like God kills a kitten every time I drink one.” Classic! Can’t wait to try one and listen for the pitiful mewing to end.
OH! You’re my new favorite blogger fyi
As much as I hated Guava Juiced, this is pretty good. The Mango Passion fruit punched is great as well.
Best. Review. EVER! Can’t wait to track one of these down and give it a test drive for myself!
Thank you everyone for the great compliments, they’re truly appreciated!
Where can this drink be found in Canada?
Rockstar Guava has been out for at least a year or so. It is very good I must say, but I try to stay away from Rockstar… I am pretty much a Monster Energy guy myself. Like I said Guava is pretty good.
JW, this is Punched Guava, not Juiced Guava.
TNT, I just saw the Mango Passionfruit Orange one now too. That’s awesome! That’s my favorite flavor juiced, so I can’t wait to try the punched version plus this guava one of course. It’s weird though, it doesn’t look like you can buy either flavor through the Rockstar online store. It’s almost like a “hidden” release of two flavors, ale.
I’m just curious what type of “angles” are singing… are they obtuse, acute, right, or straight angles? Now if angels were singing, that would be something else.
probably “obtuse” angles, since it says angels…
Where did you buy this? I haven’t been able to find it anywhere!
I tried it because of your recommendation and I agree with you. Most of the time I don’t get any noticeable boost of energy from energy drinks, but I can really tell a difference with this one. I usually hate guava drinks but this one is not only good, but the best of any energy drink I’ve tried. BTW, guava is beter than the passionfruit one IMO
Unfortunately, I can only find it at one place around me, and it’s $3.50, plus one bottle is like 400 calories, which is not that bad, but still, if I go to workout, I don’t want to run just to negate the calories I just knocked down in one drink.
I tried some on the recommendation of this article, and I love it – it’s up there with Relentless Juiced Berry.
The only problem is the lack of stock in the UK – I’ve drank through the two crates that my local shop had, and now I’m searching for more in the area!
Phil, you big energyfiend you!
I’ve had the same problem as Phil here in the states. They cant keep enough in stock to satisfy my addiction to this drink. Your review was like my thoughts on the drink put into words. Brilliant!
you make that drink sound so good. i was about to run out and buy one as I was reading the review, and for $1.99 it almost seems too good to be true
