I received the product today, and was EXTREMELY happy with the flavor and how my first workout went with it. Today I had biceps and triceps, and my arms have never looked so nice! I was really focusing in on my form during my workout today, flexing at the peaks, and avoiding locking out. This has gotten me the best results in the past few weeks so I figured I would continue to do these 3 things even if it meant giving up some lbs.
Now, I have tried a few other intra-workout supplements as I prefer them to water and feel that they really help with recovery and keeping me going. The following review is based on my first experience with the product and comparing it to other BCAA intra workout supplements such as Beast Aminolytes, AI Sports Recover Pro, and GNC's brand of BCAAs.
Taste: 10/10
I won't throw out a 10 for taste unless I honestly enjoy it. This is my new favorite, and I really didn't know what to expect with something as crazy as MOJITO. I could have guzzled another 2 or 3 blender bottles full of the stuff it was so good. But I always like to ration my intra workout supplements so that they last the majority of my workout. If you are over 21 years of age and have had Mojito's before at the bar, it is similar, but isn't overpowering which makes it easier to drink. I don't like flavors that are like cough syrup and pretty hard to drink. What I want from a flavor of an intra workout is something similar to water.. but with a light flavor I can enjoy and feel hydrated with. I got this fro AE's Mojito flavored intra workout supplement. The closest thing I could think of comparing it to would be a mojito flavored Vitamin Water Zero. Plenty of flavor, but light.
Mixibility: 10/10
I threw in 1 scoop in my blender bottle, shook it up when I got to the gym with some cold water, and I was good to go. For a stronger flavor you could mix 2 scoops, but I was extremely happy with how 1 worked for me and tasted. A different intra workout I have had left crumbs in the bottle, and it is hard to drink down little flakes of dry powder floating around your drink. The Intrabolic Mojito was 100% dissolved with a couple shakes.
Effectiveness: .. 10 so far/10
I would rather rate the effectiveness 1 or 2 days after a workout for something like this but since I was so excited to get the supplement today and it was so good I couldn't wait to write a review! I will attempt to update it (with how sore I am a couple days from now) and post a link to a new log for this product as soon as possible. Typically after a workout as rough as this one for biceps and triceps I can hardly pull my arms up to my ears to even take my headphones off! Right now as I type I feel more of a level or comfortable soreness. It is light and my arms feel more swole and pumped up than anything else. Not sure much soreness as it is swoleness? I know you know what I mean! AHA! It is nice to feel a continuous pump 45 minutes after a workout while relaxing at home. I am hopeful that tomorrow I will be on the road to a fast arms recovery after this workout, and be ready to do some wide grip pullups tomorrow. After my arms day last week.. I couldn't do a single pullup. (Typically I will do a few sets, working up to 50 reps!)
Overall: 10/10
I will give it a perfect review on the bb store and will purchase it when I run out. It is my new favorite flavor, and my new favorite Intra Workout. Which is saying quite a lot after trying some other companies brand new flavors! WHEW! Lots of competition in the world of Intra workout supplements.. However, Intrabolic Mojoito takes the cake. It is DIFFERENT, refreshing, and very enjoyable.
Update:
The morning after my arms workout my arm soreness is at about a 2.5/10. Excellent considering other intra workout supplements would leave me around a 5 in comparison. I feel fully functional, and would hate to see what my arms would be like without this stuff!
In any case, I can't wait to try this product during a leg day to REALLY see how it holds up.

Awesome review, thank you for taking the time. Did you ever use the original IntrAbolic that we launched back in 2007 that largely created the intra-workout category?

I didn't start lifting seriously until Feb. of 2011 so that was a few years before my time! Intra workouts have become a staple in my supplement stack very quickly though.
Decided to log the Mojito Should be a fun trip.
