Mountain Dew Kickstart Black Cherry energy drink 12-pack, 16 fl oz cans — 92 mg caffeine, B & C vitamins

Mountain Dew Kickstart Black Cherry is a lightly carbonated fruit‑flavored energy beverage combining DEW, real black cherry juice, 92 mg of caffeine, and B and C vitamins in a 16 fl oz can.

This 12‑pack delivers a portable, flavor‑forward boost crafted for people who want more taste than a typical energy drink but prefer a moderate caffeine kick. Each 16 fl oz can contains 80 calories and about 5% real juice, with added vitamins B and C to round out the ingredient profile. The flavor balances Mountain Dew’s signature citrus notes with a distinct black cherry sweetness, making it suitable as a morning pick‑me‑up, an afternoon refreshment, or a flavor option during social occasions.

How much caffeine and energy does this product provide?

Each 16 fl oz can contains 92 mg of caffeine, delivering a mid‑level stimulant effect comparable to a strong cup of coffee but lower than many concentrated energy shots. The formulation focuses on taste and steady alertness rather than an intense, short‑lived spike.

• 92 mg caffeine per 16 fl oz can
• Added B vitamins support sustained metabolic processes (as a nutrient, not a cure)
• 80 calories—lower than many sweetened energy drinks
• 5% real black cherry juice for natural flavor

What does Black Cherry taste like and when should I drink it?

The flavor marries Mountain Dew’s familiar citrus base with sweet, tart black cherry notes for a fruity, refreshing profile. It’s versatile enough for mornings, long drives, workouts, or social gatherings when you want a flavored boost without the heaviness of some energy beverages.

• Good alternative to plain soda or coffee when variety is desired

What are the nutritional highlights and portion details?

Each can is 16 fl oz and contains 80 calories, making it a lower‑calorie option compared with many sugary energy drinks.
