If you're in the US and follow pop culture, you'll know that Charlie Sheen has tiger blood coursing through his veins. This is more than mere mortals can handle, but now we can get a taste of what it's like.

Quinoa Gold
Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is all the craze in the health food markets recently. It's a South American grain that was called the "Mother Grain" by ancient Incas, and used to be more valuable than gold. These days it's still expensive, but usually cooked similar to rice, or made into a pasta. It's incredibly healthy for you, and tastes pretty good too. That is, until somebody decided to make a drink out of it. Read More >
Pony Malta
I found Pony Malta in the back of a liquor store in Guayaquil, Ecuador. It comes in a little bottle for only 15 cents. It claims to be a natural and refreshing energy drink, but I still didn't feel any increase in energy after 5 minutes, and still not much after drinking the entire bottle.
It's a malt beverage like kvass, so it tastes similar but a bit better and is also slightly carbonated. The flavor also reminds me of tamarind. For a more familiar flavor, it also tastes a bit like prune juice. It's dark and not very fruity though.
Overall as an energy drink I wouldn't rate it very high. I'm not sure about the caffeine content of Pony Malta, but if you're just looking for something to wake you up I would say go with coffee. This particular brand of Malta comes from Colombia.

Yerba Mate
I first tried Yerba Mate (pronounced mah-tay) on a trip to Uruguay, where it is everywhere and is an integral part of local culture. It is very closely tied to national identity, with the bag of yerba mate saying "El mate de mi pais," the mate of my country. People of all ages carry around gourds and a bombilla, along with a thermos of hot water. It is the national drink of Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, but is drunk throughout South America. Due to something in it (not caffeine), it gives you a really good boost of energy. Read More >
