GORGIE earns mixed reviews: many say it “works” with a smooth, green tea–based lift and no crash, while others find the stevia-forward sweetness and lingering aftertaste off-putting. Reviewers praise lively flavors like Watermelon Crush and Peachy Keen, clean ingredients (green tea caffeine, L‑theanine, biotin, B‑vitamins), and fun, eye‑catching packaging, but call out inconsistent flavor execution, occasional jitters, and branding missteps (wasteful disco-ball filler, exclusionary can design).

Love the principle, the ingredients and the effects... unfortunately, the flavor left something to be desired. Actually, not really the flavor in that it tastes fine going in but the aftertaste is quite odd. Hard to describe frankly and I'm not sure what element is causing it but the entire family agreed that it was weird. Even so, the contents are precisely the nootropics we want and think with a little fine-tuning, this would be a great, pick-me-up drink.

As stated above, the after-taste needs work...

The flavor was delicious! I also got to try the Watermelon Crush and loved that one too. Tasted kind of like Sour Patch Kids candy (without the sourness). Didn't enjoy the Peachy Keen too much. I usually don't enjoy the aftertaste of some of these "healthy" energy drinks but this one was not bad at all! The packaging is aesthetic too! Love the benefits of biotin in here!
I wasn’t crazy about this product. I wouldn’t say it’s bad, but I’d hesitate to call it good either. I’ve tried 3 of their flavors (watermelon, peach and berry) and none of them wowed me. My biggest complaint would probably be the stevia. I get they want it to be sweet, but the stevia taste and aftertaste was a bit overpowering. However, I don’t think this is an objectively bad drink. It wasn’t for me but I think a lot of people would enjoy it.
I really love these energy drinks! I've been purchasing the peach and watermelon flavors whenever they go on sale! They are a bit sweet - but its not a turn off at all. I have to say it gives me the perfect amount of pick me up that I need to jump start my day! And i love that they have extra benefits! They can be a bit tricky to find but I've found them at a few of the smaller chain grocery stores.
I am not a huge energy drink person- mainly the ingredients turn me off so I was excited to try Gorgie! It was (for me) the perfect amount of energy- not too much where I felt overwhelmed but just a good buzz. I tried the Watermelon and the Peach flavor. I personally liked the watermelon more! It was not overly sweet and actually had a little bit of bitterness to it, which I liked! Overall- I would purchase again!

Love the idea, don't love the execution. Sadly, this tasted mostly like artificial sweetener to me. The can's super cute and the branding is great, but none of that matters if the drink itself isn't tasty. Probably wouldn't buy again unless it was reformulated. Also, taste aside, this made me so jittery! I regularly have matcha daily which is slower caffeine release than I'm assuming an energy drink would be, but didn't think it'd be that bad. Def something to keep in mind for those interested in trying this.

The most fun unboxing experience and beautiful branding. The flavors looked great, but like other reviewers mentioned I found the artificial sweetener taste to be not for me. I'm not generally a big energy drink person, and not sure that this helped convert me, but fun to try!

Okay the package came with small disco balls which was SUCH a fun surprise and delight moment, and I have to shout that out. Unfortunately, my experience went downhill from there. While I can't say I'm the world's biggest fan of energy drinks I've seen my way around a pick me up in my day or two. I had gone into these with high hopes, maybe the drink would be a delightful new wave style food and Bev answer to the tried and true red bull we've all turned too. Maybe they would have subtlety of taste, or originality of flavor, or even quite possibly delightful energy. They had none of the above. While they weren't awful, they just did nothing new. The flavor was terrible--because that's how energy drinks taste to me. The energy was there, but it wasn't new. But all of this adds up to, imo, a three star experience so why am I giving Gorgie only two? The packaging went from gimmicky to downright disconcerting. Having each bottle have five small scale photos of influencer looking women fake reacting to the ingredients in each drink gave me such an ick I could barely continue drinking. This tactic did not increase my trust. It made it feel like they were trying to market to tween girls but were doing so in such an off-putting way I felt weird continuing to hold them. Plus the copywriting was so odd, it felt like chatGPT had written it. I had to take off another star.

please get rid of the weird (what I can only assume are fake) influencer testimonials on the can. Then it's fine.

I really enjoyed these! I’m not a huge fan of energy drinks, but these aren’t overly sweet. The green team flavor really shines through, which is great. The peach and watermelon were really good, the berry was a touch cough syrupy. The packaging was so cute, with mini disco balls, but pretty wasteful. Hopefully this was just a part of the sampler kit and not every time you order.

A few issues with these, but first: - I would like to note that I tried the watermelon first, am currently “drinking” the peach and haven’t tried the berry flavor yet - I bought these during a thingdrop Okay the review: 1. The first issue is the aftertaste. It’s soooo strong and is making me really struggle to finish the peach flavor - so much so, that I am taking the time between sips to write this review. I noticed it with the watermelon, but it’s unbearable with the peach. 2. I opened the box and immediately thought about how unsustainable the packaging is. I understand that the disco balls are for a fun surprise, but I couldn’t help but think what I was going to do with them and then started wondering how many of these I would accumulate if I regularly ordered from the brand in the future. 3. The actual packaging of the drink was off-putting - largely the play on tweets on the back. I thought they were actual tweets of verified Twitter users (which I thought was weird), but realized, they are just random pictures of women who all look the same (think thin and white, like the woman on the Thingtesting page photo, and a photo of the CEO/Founder) and thought it was even weirder. It’s just a strange choice to brand a product in this way and then use it as an opportunity to highlight the lack of diversity in the branding. The CEO/Founder is a woman of color so this shocking and confusing. Normally, I wouldn’t care, but any time a brand uses the word “community”’ in their branding or longline I roll my eyes. Especially when the brands decides to define their community in such an exclusionary way.
Feedback
TLDR: On top of the aftertaste, the branding is a big miss for me.

Yes, it is heavy on the stevia taste. But I get used to it. I think it's a good trade-off for other weird sweeteners. I love all the other benefits so I keep drinking these. Most energy drinks are a gross combination of chemicals and processed syrups so I love that these have green tea and l-theanine (ifykyk) and bonus vitamins and biotin. I prefer coffee most of the time but sometimes my anxiety gets to bad and these are a perfect pick-me-up for those days!
Gorgie is my favorite cleaner energy drinks. I’ve tried all the flavors except the berry electric. I love all of them but my favorite is the blue can which is the paradise punch. I always get some when I stop in at Sprouts but now Target carries them which is a win for me. My boyfriend also enjoys them he likes the fact it has L-Theanine because it helps with focus and drinks one on the way to work if he feels extra tired. I typically drink one before the gym they have 150mg of caffeine which I think is a good amount without being overtly caffeinated. If I’m extra tired I do take a different preworkout before the gym for an extra boost.
I have been loving Gorgie lately! I love that the caffeine content is the perfect amount - 150mg. It is not too little and not too much. The branding is absolutely adorable and girly. I love the added biotin. Watermelon Crush and Electric Berry are my favorite!
Georgie makes a tasty drink. I enjoy the bubbles and the flavor of the drink. It's not too sweet but it gives a nice light mango taste in this flavor. I would recommend this product if you're looking for an alternative to soda. They also make some good sparkling green teas.
I tried several of Gorgie energy drinks and they were pretty good. I like how this energy drink is really focused on women and what they want by including vitamins that promote healthy skin and hair. The can is also very pretty. The flavor name and the actual taste of the drink in my opinion does not really match but I still like them.
I really wanted to live this drink. I have tried a few of there varieties but felt that none really tasted great. I do really like the ingredients though.
I've become a little obsessed with these drinks. I'm a caffeine junkie and have been trying to move away from so much coffee. I love that these are green tea based and all the flavors I've tried have been amazing. I'm currently in love with the mango flavor!

Gorgie is great, but I really wish there were more flavor options. The one I tried was tasty, but I found myself wishing for a bit more variety. It’s a solid product, just hoping they expand the flavors soon!
I love this drink it's so good and the ingredients are great it's definitely better than other drinks
Okay, so I don't love the flavor (they taste pretty artificial), but whatever is in these things gets me GOING. I have never been so productive in my life. I feel like a god when I drink Gorgie.
