You’ve got to love the marketing people for not actually telling you what the drink flavours really are… Cosmic Stardust???? Nope, it’s grape flavour! I do love grape soda so for me this is lovely, but I know a lot of people find grape drinks too sickly which I get. Anyway, loads of caffeine in this one, no sugar, so a decent fake-energy kick without as much tooth-rot 🙂

What would an energy drink taste like if Kim Kardashian decided to make one. Well, that answer is ‘pink’ apparently. The can itself doesn’t say what the flavour actually is but looking on Alani’s web site it reckons it’s lemon and strawberry. Yeah, pink lemonade. It doesn’t taste like normal pink lemonade that I’m used to, I’d say it’s far more on the strawberry side than lemon. It’s nice, but quite sickly!

It’s the “health” brand of Monster back again with a new tropical-style drink flavoured with mango. Yeah, it’s a large can, tastes of mango, gives you a big hit of caffeine. Sadly nothing more special than that though – a premium prices tropical energy drink.

I do like a good blue raspberry drink, and this is a good one! It’s actually refreshing, even though it’s quite a strong flavour.

Yes, this does taste like lemonade, but there’s almost something tropical about it. I can’t quite put my finger on exactly what it is, but certainly from the smell there’s possibly a little bit of mango in there too? Something tangy and citrus-like that’s not lemon anyway. Overall it’s a nice, strong-flavoured and fresh drink.

I had to look up what Ramonade might be. Turns out the Ram part is rambutan which is a type of tropical fruit, but the main flavour I could taste was apple. It’s basically an extremely caffeine-potent apple flavoured energy drink. I’m always nervous about trying a can of Nocco because I know I’m not going to sleep well that night! But, if you need an extremely strong pick-up then this’ll do the trick.

It’s been so long since I tried Lidl’s Kong Strong so I honestly can’t tell if this large can ‘Colossus’ drink is actually the same as the the smaller can, I think I’ll have to go and get one of those to compare. Anyway, this drink reminds me of the early days of energy drink clones… it’s sweet, slightly tangy, and quite different to Red Bull. I’d say it’s quite close to Monster Energy actually, very, very close in flavour!
It’s a bedazzlingly gold can which sadly doesn’t give off the premium vibe that I think it was trying to go for. Rather, it looks more like the one-off budget brands you pick up in the pound stores which are trying to be shiny and bright to grab your attention. As drinks go, it’s not bad though – a very sweet tropical flavoured one that’s not too sickly even in this 500ml large can.
I’m still not that keen on apple-flavoured drinks. I guess this one isn’t too bad, but it is quite sickly after a while. It’s basically fizzy apple squash, I’m not sure what the ‘candy’ part is, perhaps that’s just marketing. On the other hand, it’s pretty potent for caffeine so it’ll definitely wake you up!
