Packaged in a 16-oz. can, the beverages are available in three flavors, including grape, berry and watermelon, the Las Vegas-based company said.

“5-hour Energy is already a top three energy brand, so the addition of the 16-oz carbonated beverage product is a natural progression,” CEO and founder Manoj Bhargava said. “For the times when you’re tired and thirsty, our new carbonated beverage has a refreshing, lighter taste compared to Red Bull and Monster. Try it!”
