(NYSE American: SBEV) (“Splash” or the “Company”), a portfolio company of leading beverage brands, today announced the official launch of TapouT Cognitive Energy, an all-new sparkling 10-calorie beverage in three distinct flavors: Cherry Lemonade, Orange, and Peach Mango.

TapouT Cognitive Energy was developed in concert with Drew Brees, the legendary NFL quarterback who joined the TapouT team last year as an investor. “I am excited to support the launch of TapouT Cognitive Energy,” Drew states. “I have always found staying focused and energized is very important for optimal performance. I believe that our TapouT Cognitive Energy formula will help people achieve this.”
