"Energy drink" without caffeine
White Rabbit calls itself an energy drink, but there's no caffeine in it. The name comes from how people describe kratom at small amounts: upbeat rather than sleepy. Kratom instead of coffee.
Flavors
Going by the flavor names, White Rabbit leans toward soda and candy (root beer, cherry bomb, watermelon candy), sweetened with sucralose. New Brew sticks to fruit (yuzu, mango, berry, guava) with tea in the base. If you drink soda, White Rabbit's lineup will feel familiar. If you drink hard seltzer, New Brew's will.
