Red Bull – The Glacier Edition (Frosty Raspberry)
October 16th, 2026Well this is a very interesting edition – Red Bull normally release only one winter-themed new flavour but this year (2026) they have released this “Glacier Edition” in addition to their Winter one. And the reason it’s interesting? It’s like nothing Red Bull have produced before certainly in the UK anyway. Officially this is “Frosty Raspberry” and you can taste the raspberry in it for sure, but there’s also a very slight aniseed taste to it too, giving it a sharpness. But, the most immediate part of the flavour that hit me was just how watery it tasted. The flavour is extremely subtle and watered down, almost as if that glacier has melted into it. The aftertaste is one of a full-fat energy drink though, you do get the sugary feeling clagging around in your mouth after a few sips. It sounds like I’m being negative here, but overall it’s a nice fruity drink and something quite different to everything else out there.
Toxic Waste Apple Sour
October 10th, 2026It’s a tangy and very slightly sour apple flavoured drink! Nicer than most apple drinks but it’s full of sugar so I guess that helps a lot. I’m still not impressed by the toxic waste “sour” claims overall though – I was expecting proper drawing back of my lips over my teeth sort of reaction but it’s nothing near that.
Red Bull Winter Edition (2026): Pistachio and Berries
October 8th, 2026Just like the sugar-free version, which I tried first, there is a background nuttiness to this drink however this full fat version has a syrupy taste to it too which, whilst that doesn’t make it sweeter, it does mask the other flavours more and make it ‘fruity’ rather than nutty. It’s rare I say this but perhaps this full fat version tastes a bit better than the sugar free version? I’m not as keen on the aftertaste with this one, but the primary flavours are certainly more pleasing with the sugar involved.
Red Bull Winter Edition (2026): Pistachio and Berries (sugar free)
October 4th, 2026Very unusual! It’s definitely got a nutty taste to it, no doubt that the pistachio flavour is in there, but combined with the berries it has a contrasting sweetness to it. This is certainly quite different to most Red Bull flavours and you’d be hard pressed to identify it as a Red Bull branded product to be honest. It’s nice, I probably wouldn’t buy it again though although I did have to get a multi-pack of 4 because that’s all that was available in Morrisons!

Sneak Energy Sour Apple
September 26th, 2026I have loved all of the other Sneak Energy drinks I’ve tried, but this is the only one I’m not keen on. The apple flavour is quite sharp and maybe the reason I don’t like it is because it’s perhaps closer to the actual flavour of apple?! I don’t know, maybe you’ll like it better if you’re a fan of apple drinks.
Sneak Energy Strawberry Punch
September 19th, 2026Well I very much liked this! Strawberry drinks are in no way refreshing but this one does taste amazing! Strawberry punch, so strawberry and other unknown fruits thrown in the mix I guess, but you can definitely taste the strawberry! I’d get this again for sure!

Sneak Energy Purple Storm
September 5th, 2026Now “purple” is a very cryptic flavour description and there are no other clues on the can as to what the real flavour actually is. Well, I am pleased to say it’s a berry drink! Quite fresh summer berries I would say, a nice mix – sweet and refreshing and really nice. So far I’m very impressed with Sneak Energy’s canned drinks, they are managing just the right balance of everything to make them very drinkable.

Monster Energy Nitro Blue Flash
September 3rd, 2026I’ve seen this particular new flavour getting a lot of attention on social media in the UK in recent weeks so I had to grab a can as soon as I saw it to find out what all the fuss is about. It’s using carbonated and nitrogenated water as a base which supposedly gives it a “smooth, creamy texture”. I guess that’s true, the bubbles don’t feel as sharp as pure carbonated water so if you like that then you might like this! The flavour though, well, it’s just a blue raspberry energy drink. It’s nice enough, extremely sweet with no background ‘Monster’ taste which I guess is possibly masked by the very strong blue raspberry flavour of this drink.

Ghost Sour Pink Lemonade
August 29th, 2026Finally, a sour drink that is actually a bit sour! I mean, it’s not massively sour but it does at least have a bit of a tang to it. It’s pink lemonade, so it’s basically strawberry flavoured and very nice indeed. I liked this one although it did start to become a bit sickly by the end of the can as it warmed up.
