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.

Red Bull are becoming quite consistent in their releases of Summer and Winter special editions. For Summer 2025 they have gone with White Peach. I’ll be honest, I didn’t know there were different types of peaches so I had to look it up! Normal peaches are ‘yellow’ peaches, and compared to those a white peach is supposed to have a more delicate and sweeter flavour. It’s certainly nice in a drink, slightly tangy but refreshing. However, it does become sickly quite quickly and definitely needs to be kept ice cold as it’s not as nice once it starts to warm up.

Oooh now this one is interesting. There’s no clue on the can as to what ‘cosmic rainbow’ flavouring might actually be so you’re going to have to take my best guesses here. There’s a note of blackcurrant for starters, so I think that’s the main flavour, but it’s also sweeter and slightly tangy so I reckon there might be some fresher tasting berries in there too. Something like raspberry maybe, if you mixed blue raspberry with blackcurrant I think you would come up with this flavour… maybe I’ll do some experimenting and find out. Whatever the case, it’s quite nice!

Now this is much more inline with what you would expect from a tropical flavoured drink: mango, apricot and ‘tropical’ according to the details on the can. I’m a bit concerned about the random ‘tropical’ item in that list, I’m non-the-wiser as to what that might actually be, but there’s no mistaking the tangy and sharp tropical flavouring you’ll be familiar with from every other tropical drink out there.
Smooth and fruity! I really enjoyed this, it was refreshing and interesting without getting too sickly I’d definitely get this one again. Conveniently the can says that this is watermelon and strawberry flavour and I reckon the strawberry is what’s making this so good.

It’s a tropical energy drink! Not too tangy, quite smooth really and the passionfruit is the main flavour rather than the peach (is peach a tropical fruit? I don’t think it is…). A large can, low in calories, best served chilled because it gets a bit sickly as it warms up.

A chance visit to Iceland (the shop, sadly not the country) flagged up an expansion of the Furocity energy drink range so of course I had to try them. I’ve decided to start with Lemon Blast because I love lemon drinks. Helpfully, all of the Furocity drinks provide a proper description of the flavour on the can amongst the small print, so this one is actually lemon, lime and mint. You can’t directly taste the mint but what it does is give the drink a slight freshness that balances out the sourness of the citrus fruits. This means it doesn’t need to be as sweet as most other lemon drinks are. I’d say they have found an interesting and winning way of cutting sugar!
Another energy drink discovered in a foreign port. Well, actually, this time I found it in a shop in Falmouth, UK, but it was a US import. You normally associate Toxic Waste branded products with being really sour, but this one really wasn’t that sour. Ok, there was the background flavour of Toxic Waste products that you’d expect but overall it was basically just a blue raspberry flavoured drink. Quite smooth and easy to drink, no back of the throat sourness that I was expecting at all sadly.

You can taste the watermelon, but it’s quite bitter which I’m guessing is the guava. Sadly I couldn’t taste the chilli which might have added a unique kick to the drink, but still it was a bit unusual all the same.
