Crani-Yum x Phat Muscle Project Launch Unicorn Candy Energy Drink

Crani-Yum x Phat Muscle Project Unicorn Candy is the first collaboration flavor from Crani-Yum, bringing Phat Muscle Project's Unicorn Candy profile into a 16oz nootropic energy drink.

The connection runs deeper than a licensing deal. Phat Muscle Project is owned by John Gorman and Leslie Franklin, the same two people who joined Crani-Yum as co-owners in 2026, bringing manufacturing through Synergy Labs and expanded distribution relationships. This is two brands inside the same extended family making something together, and it shows in how cleanly the concept translates.

Unicorn Candy: Rainbow Nostalgia in a 16oz Can

The flavor is exactly what the name suggests -- a multi-fruit blend built to hit like a handful of rainbow-colored childhood candy. Crani-Yum describes it as a combination of orange, strawberry, lemon, grape, lime, and cherry, all layered together to recreate that broad, sweet-tart character you'd get from a bag of mixed hard candy or a handful of whatever was sitting in the checkout bowl at a supplement shop.

Phat Muscle Project's Unicorn Candy pre-workout is their most popular flavor, which is notable context. Flavors that lead pre-workout lineups tend to lean sweet and broadly appealing -- complex enough to be interesting on the first sip, smooth enough to not get old over a full can. Whether Crani-Yum's RTD version lands that mark or stakes out slightly different territory is something you'll find out in the can, but the source material has a proven fan base behind it.

The can is a 16oz format sold in cases of 12. Crani-Yum is calling this a limited-time offering, the first LTO in the brand's history, so this is not a permanent addition to the lineup. If you want it, the window is finite.

Quick Formula Check

Unicorn Candy runs the same core Crani-Yum Focus & Function Blend as the rest of the lineup. The formula doesn't change for the collab - what's different is the flavor, not the stack. For the full breakdown on what each ingredient does and the research behind it, the Crani-Yum product page is the place to go. Here's what the label shows:

• Caffeine (150mg from all sources) - sourced from both guarana seed extract and added caffeine. At 150mg, it's a moderate, intentional dose that can provide real alertness without pushing into the jittery range most people want to avoid.
• Alpha-GPC (400mg) - the headline nootropic in this formula. Supports the brain's production of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter most tied to sharp focus and fast recall. 400mg is a genuinely meaningful dose for a ready-to-drink beverage.
• Lion's Mane (300mg) - an adaptogenic mushroom extract associated with nerve growth factor support and longer-term brain health. The label doesn't specify extract ratio or fruiting body vs. mycelium.
• L-Theanine (200mg) - works directly with caffeine to smooth out the edge without killing the focus. The 200mg theanine to 150mg caffeine ratio is a well-established pairing.
• Myo-Inositol (1g) - a sugar alcohol involved in cellular signaling that rounds out the neurological support angle at a solid inclusion level.
• Panax Ginseng Root Extract - an adaptogenic herb with a history in cognitive performance research. The label does not disclose the dose.
• Sweeteners and other ingredients - sucralose for zero-calorie sweetness, citric acid for tartness and stability, natural flavors, carbonated water, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate as standard preservatives. Zero added sugar and no artificial colors, consistent with Crani-Yum's clean label positioning.
