I want to give JD a big shout out for sending me Cutting Edge Diamond Energy Drink, a beverage I had never heard of. I was excited to try Cutting Edge Diamond because it comes in the humongous 32 ounce energy drink can. This thing is a beast and I always am amazed when I see people buying the 32 ouncers and then drinking the whole things. Sometimes it takes me over an hour to finish one of these big suckers. Cutting Edge Diamond comes in an attractive can and is produced by Monarch Beverages. Other than that I know very little about Cutting Edge except that it also comes in a Laser flavor which I will review soon.
I can barely fit my hand around Cutting Edge Diamond Energy Drink, but when I take a chug from the monster can I instantly taste a Red Bull Clone. As the bright yellow liquid dribbles down my chin I know I have tasted a similar flavor before and it is Roaring Lion Energy Drink. The version of the Red Bull Clone is very strange and unique. It starts with a thick lower apple base and then overlays some subtle notes of cinnamon on top with a mild spiciness. The flavor is mild overall with faint aspects of orange and some tartness throughout. There's nothing really to get excited about with the flavor, since it's an ultra-sweet Red Bull clone with some different flavor nuances.
I drank the full 32 ounces of Cutting Edge Diamond Energy Drink and was definitely regretting it. First, drinking that much carbonation never sits well in your stomach. Second, I had just consumed 400 calories and 104 grams of sugar. Now that is definitely not healthy. I got a pretty sick buzz from the drink, but that's to be expected since it's like drinking two normal size 16 ounce Red Bulls. I would say the buzz might exceed two 16 ounce Red Bulls by a little bit, but isn't truly exceptional. I was completely shaking with jitters and was on a massive sugar rush for about 2.5 hours after drinking Cutting Edge Laser. After that I experienced a major crash and was completely exhausted from the end of my energy spike. The ingredients that powered this spike were sucrose, glucose, citric acid, taurine, glucuronolactone, Vitamin C, caffeine, inositol, choline, B Vitamins and EDTA. My advice is that if you drink Cutting Edge Diamond be ready for a major boost of energy, but be close to a bed for the wicked crash.
