Gatorade Tiger Thirst Quencher is the latest energy drink from Gatorade, that is specially formulated to provide 25 percent more electrolytes to advance fluid and electrolyte replacement. The new Thirst Quencher line was specially formulated for Tiger Woods in three great tasting flavors he selected.

Gatorade began working with Tiger in Fall 2007 when he met with the Gatorade Sports Science Institute (GSSI) to undergo a series of hydration and physiological tests to understand his sweat rate, sweat sodium concentration, and energy expenditure. This resulted in a nutrition and hydration strategy designed to improve Tiger’s physical and mental performance.

How does Gatorade Tiger taste? I’ve been drinking all three flavors; Red Drive is a crisp blend of cherry and citrus flavors inspired by Tiger, Cool Fusion a citrus blend that is flavored with one part key lime and one part lemonade, and Quiet Storm a refreshingly focused blend of grape flavors. I really liked all three flavors a lot and found them to be quite refreshing. The initial taste is sweet, but it’s not overly sweet and mellows out after your sip. The one thing that makes Gatorade Tiger stand apart from other energy drinks is the lack of artificial after taste when your done drinking. The lack of chemical aftertaste and hydrating properties makes Gatorade Tiger my new drink of choice when I golf.

All three flavors of Gatorade Tiger are available at grocery, convenience, mass and club stores nationwide in 500ml (16.9 oz.) and 32 oz. bottles. $1.29 - $1.39.
