Unlike other juice infused energy products, this one has a low level of sweetness and its boost is derived entirely from natural sources as opposed to added caffeine… it is one of the more innovative energy drinks we’ve seen in a while.”

CUBA Herbal Energy Juice ™ is available in three unique flavors; Pomegranate-Cranberry, Wild Berry and Passion Fruit-Orange. Cuba Beverage’s products represent a healthy all-natural energy drink, no caffeine, no taurine, no High Fructose Corn Syrups and/or Artificial Sugars, no preservatives, no artificial ingredients and no bull!
