I'm currently exploring alternatives to coffee because I haven't fully embraced energy drinks yet. While I enjoy using pre-workout powder for weightlifting, I find it to be quite pricey. I'd be interested in a syrup-based option or something with less sugar as a cost-effective alternative. I've tried caffeine pills, but they don't seem to give me the same boost as the pre-workout powder. Thanks for sharing informative videos on the topic!

Can this drink be made with out your flavor compound? Is seems like the base ingredients for most energy drinks are water caffeine, taurine, sugar and carbonated water. I have some experience flavoring homemade candy and I would imagine these drinks could be flavored in a similar process.

Hello sir! I have a question about the acidity of drinks and sodas. Beyond the flavor and texture of the drink, is there a reason that soft drinks are traditionally acidic? would a mildly alkaline solution preserve just as well? Thank you

Alkaline flavours can be perceived as bitter and lacking character. Plus most alkaline compounds are salty, like sodium bicarbonate, but you can try.

@dabbopabblo Год назад

This looks like a good alternative to the 200$ I spend a month on monster energy drinks. The only thing I wonder is, without a soda stream, would the carbonation levels be comparable to an off the shelf energy drink or would it be more comparable to a sparkling water, or is there not an actual difference in the carbonation levels between the two?

@Artofdrink Год назад

Carbonation levels would be the same (or slightly better) just mixing the syrup with bottled or canned club soda/seltzer.

I'm not great at understanding chemistry and how chemicals combined make new chemicals but I was wondering if anything here creates calcium oxalate or if you know where that comes from at all considering that seems to be the first thing to worry about with kidney stones (from a 2 second google search lol) and how that is a worry with these kinds of energy drinks. Is that a problem to consider here or honestly with any of your homemade recipes? Love the channel, want to try some of these things soon myself!

@Artofdrink Год назад

No problem, keep watching and I guarantee you'll get better at understanding chemistry. A few notes: 1. When we mix flavours, there are no chemical reactions happening, so what gets put into the drink is stable and stays that way. That's a general rule of food, you need to make sure it is stable. 2. Energy drinks don't contain oxalates, coffee and tea do, but oxalates are found in many foods like vegetables. The issue is how your body processes them and the concern with caffeine is that it can cause slight dehydration (diuretic) though if you are a regular caffeine drink the diuretic effect doesn't happen. The original thought was that diuretics could increase calcium oxalate, but research has shown that caffeine's diuretic effect may be beneficial by removing more calcium from the kidneys, preventing stones. Here is a document from the National Kidney Foundation: bit.ly/kidneyst 3. This energy drink recipe does not contain caffeine.

@epickiller30 11 месяцев назад

Some b vitamins has been shown to increase dopamine and so should subsequently increase motivation such as vitamin B1 and vitamin B6 but for vitamin B1, unless if it's fat soluble version, you need to take so much for a while to saturate your tissues to reach the same serum level you'd get from an IV. Active Vitamin B6 (pyridoxal 5' phosphate) is probably the only one that works in moderate doses of 10mg but if you take too much you could damage your nerves so it's probably not possible to just add it to drinks. Usually increasing and improving sugar metabolism should improve motivation to some degree but obviously nothing like cocaine

@Artofdrink 11 месяцев назад

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxal 5' phosphate) actually helps you sleep, it doesn't do much for motivation. B6 is used by the body to produce lots of compounds, some related to motivation, but by itself isn't very motivating.

@AustinScienceFood Год назад

Question for ya, why is it that when it comes to flavor you add less but when it comes to smell you add more? Is it because of travel time to the nose?

@Artofdrink Год назад

Actually, it is the other way around. Taste is sweet sour salty and bitter and we consume grams and ounces of sugars and acids. For smell, we smell in milligrams per litre (quart) so smell is thousands and tens of thousands of times more sensitive than taste.
