Monster Energy Ultra Fantasy Ruby Red

June 9th, 2025

This is not your usual Monster concoction. It’s a fruity and smooth blend with a slight citrus twist to it and I can’t quite place the flavour… I *think* it might be strawberry lemonade, but there’s definitely more than just strawberry in there. Potentially a little bit of grapefruit for the tang? However you look at it, it’s a nice easy going drink in a very premium can complete with a textured surface and a cute cartoon design. A good flavour for the summer.

Celsius Live Fit Sunset Vibe Mango Passion Fruit

June 7th, 2025

As I write this review it’s one of the warmest days of the year so far and a tropical flavoured drink goes down very nicely on a day like today. This drink is not too sickly and nicely sugar-free, but it is quite heavy on the caffeine so packs a decent punch of wake-up-ness.

Rockstar Blueberry Pomegranate

May 31st, 2025

This is one of a number of Rockstar drinks for 2025 which are branded with the names of various music festivals around the UK. This flavour for the TRNSMT festival is blueberry and pomegranate – it mostly tastes of blueberry, quite strongly too. I couldn’t taste the pomegranate, but it was extremely sweet and strong in flavour plus packed full of caffeine.

Warrior Rage Energy Shot: Lemon & Lime

May 24th, 2025

You don’t tend to see many energy shots anymore and I think the reason is because they tend to be quite bitter. This one is no different – you can just about taste the citrus from the lemon and lime flavouring, but it’s mostly masked by the sourness from the shot itself.

Sneak Energy Tropikilla

May 17th, 2025

A very sweet tropical flavoured drink. No sugary or sickly aftertaste which is a very good thing, but it’s also not that special and I don’t think it deserves the premium price tag. The Raspberry Lemonade flavour of Sneak was much better I thought.

Sneak Energy Raspberry Lemonade

May 10th, 2025

Very nice indeed! I’ve seen Sneak Energy advertised as a powder mix before but this is the first time that I’ve seen it in a can. This flavour is raspberry lemonade and it’s very smooth and refreshing – a proper summer drink. At £1.49 I think it’s definitely setting itself up as a premium drink… I’m not convinced it’s that good but it’s not far off.

C4: Pineapple Head

May 3rd, 2025

Sweet and refreshing – a nice smooth tasting pineapple flavoured drink. Sugar-free and in a large 500ml can. Nothing special, but then again it’s a decent drink!

Monster Punch: Rio Punch

April 26th, 2025

My reaction to trying this the first time: “oooooh”. It’s different! I was expecting a tropical flavoured drink but it’s so not that! It’s very sweet and there’s something almost parma violet about it, but not quite. It says on the can that it’s a blend of exotic fruits with a hint of spice. I can’t taste the spice, but I get the exotic fruits. It might be watermelon? Whatever it is I like it!

C4: Millions Apple

April 19th, 2025

Am I starting to warm to Apple flavoured drinks or are they just making them less horrible? I wasn’t looking forward to trying it to be honest but it’s nice! A smooth apple flavour, not really tangy like you’d expect from Millions, but very sweet and tasty.
