Lotus is another entrant in the disturbing new product category of energy drink/liquor fusion. According to the Lotus website, Lotus Blue is "enhanced to perfection with Guarana Extract, Taurine and Caffeine," while Lotus White contains all that stuff and is further "blended with special ingredients." I guess this is for all you drinkers for whom mixing regular vodka with Red Bull is just too much work.
