Advantages: nice taste not too bibbly, helps recovery after exercise

Disadvantages: not liked by everyone

Red Bull has been around for a few years now and has been a marketing dream. It appeals to young and old and is marketed both as a healthy drink and as a mixer.

I'm not sure there are many people in the UK who wouldn't be able to identify the slogan "it gives you wings" with red Bull and the same goes for the distinctive blue and silver packaging.

I quite like this drink - I find it alsmost reminds me of vimto as it has that sort of fruity flavour. Its not too bubbly so as I quite often open up a can after running or an exercise session I don't find that it makes me feel sick, but does make me feel a bit better quicker than if I don't drink it.There are plenty of people who hate this drink (my brother for one) so I think it is either one you love or hate with no middle ground.

I also like it with vodka as I feel as though it brings the taste of the vodka out nicely. I can also recommend a cocktail of red bull, vodka and champagne - I'm sure this probably has a stupid name but I don't know what it is. However don't have too many because it doesn't take long for the alchohol to take hold with this combination.

Summary: A drink that gives you some energy and is a good mixer
