“Energy at the speed of life.” That’s the message behind Fuga, a new energy drink recently introduced in 12-oz SLEEK cans from Rexam. Bursting with flavor, Fuga is made from the natural energy resource Yerba Mate, which is said to offer the strength of coffee, the health benefits of tea, and the euphoria of chocolate. Fuga’s array of herbal ingredients also includes prickly pear cactus, ginkgo biloba, guarana, milk thistle, and acai, as well as essential vitamins and amino acids to support overall health and well-being. The beverage is available in regular and sugar-free varieties.

“Fuga is a Latin and Spanish term that means to ‘take flight,’ which makes it the perfect name for our breakthrough energy drink because of its active, energetic, and ascendant meaning,” says Miguel Camarena, CEO at Aquarena Beverage. “When we started this company, we set out to create an energy enhancer that doesn't overstimulate or make you feel jittery, but gives you just the right amount of consistent, long-lasting energy, from a healthy source. We succeeded in that mission, and through our partnership with Rexam, we introduced it in a great-looking SLEEK can that will attract consumers’ attention.”
