It’s a bit like the white Monster but with a slight twist. Blueberry and lemon, so it’s a tangy version of a blueberry drink. Refreshing and very heavy on the caffeine.

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!

I managed to find quite a few energy shots recently, and I haven’t seen many in years. This first one is a lemon-lime flavour with quite a bit of caffeine in (175mg). I’d hoped that after a few years the makers would have worked out how to make the shots sweeter tasting but sadly it’s still quite bitter. You can taste the lemon and lime flavouring, but the whole drink has a sour tang that makes you draw back the corners of your mouth in an instinctive reflex sort of way. As shots go, I’ve had worse!
First there was Prime, the expensive coconut water drink prized by every 12-year-old in the country. Now there’s Prime Energy Drink and it’s less in demand mainly because the shops won’t sell it to them 🙂 I love lemon and lime drinks, so I thought I’d start by trying the Lemon Lime Prime Energy. It’s a very strong flavour, no watering this down at all. That does make it quite sickly to drink sadly and extremely sweet despite the lack of sugar in it. It’s an ok energy drink packing plenty of caffeine, and the branding is certainly premium. At £2 per can it’s priced as a premium drink of course, but I have paid a lot more for considerably worse tasting drinks! Bingo bingo…

I love lemon-flavoured drinks and this was no disappointment! I can imagine this would be a very refreshing drink in the summer, it’s just a shame it’s a cold March morning at the time of trying it! I think I’ll get a second can of this to keep in for a warm day, it’s that good. I don’t normally try drinks a second time so this one is getting special treatment. Large can, quite sweet, slightly bitter lemon twang (you can really taste the lemon juice), top marks! Oh, it’s not sugar-free though so you get the old-style buzz from it too 🙂
Considerably better tasting than the red berry original but still very sour. The citrus flavour from the orange and lemon is considerably more palatable making this drink slightly more refreshing as you make your way through the 330ml can. Don’t forget that this is still very high in caffeine just like the original, at 61mg/100ml. It’s also still sugar free, and packs the same ingredients mixture as the original too.

I love lemon energy drinks… regular readers will know that already. This one is super-high with caffeine (55mg/100ml) in a medium-sized can (330ml) so packs quite a punch. Added BCAAs for that unneeded post-workout hit combine with a low calorie count to deliver a curious combination (I won’t rant about energy drinks aimed at serious gym-goers again), but it is very easy to drink and highly refreshing.

Amazing! I do love a lemon flavoured energy drink. This one is smooth and refreshing, not too strong or sour/bitter at all. At only 69p it’s a bargain, and it benefits from a slight reduction in calories in order to avoid the UK sugar tax by using a mixture of sugar and sweeteners.

Very tasty but sadly hardly any caffeine that I could tell. It contains guarana extract but that doesn’t appear to give the drink enough caffeine to warrant a high caffeine warning. The mint flavour is very subtle and works well with the fruity lemon-lime.
