Brite: Lemon Lime
December 21st, 2024Ooh, now this has a sharpness to it. That’s good, don’t get me wrong there, and you can certainly taste the citrus kick from the lemon. But, hidden in that taste was something else that I couldn’t put my finger on so I went looking through the ingredients. Turns out they’ve used apple juice in there which you can definitely pick up on, but also there’s a bitter aftertaste that I reckon is matcha. I’m personally not a big fan of matcha or tea in general so for me this ruined it a bit. I love lemon and lime drinks, they’re my favourite, but the bitter aftertaste from this drink was not to my liking. If you like tea-based drinks though you might find this pleasant and refreshing.
Tenzing Lime and Mint
November 23rd, 2024Someone out there must like the combination of lime and mint because a lot of drinks are coming out with this flavour. I think it’s supposed to be a bit like a mojito? I find the combination strange and sickly personally but other people have mentioned to me that’s it’s quite refreshing so I guess my opinion is not the popular one!
Battery Remix
March 9th, 2024Quite often the combo of lime and strawberry in a drink can be slightly too sour, but Battery have got the mix just right. All this drink needs now is a glass full of crushed ice and a couple of shots of rum to make it the perfect strawberry daiquiri.

MEDAHUMAN Energy: Cranberry and Lime
October 14th, 2023This was a first for me – CBD, the legal and non-intoxicating component of cannabis. Medahuman have a range of CBD drinks available and I made the mistake of purchasing one of each variety. It turns out that only one contained caffeine and is therefore the only one eligible to receive a review on this site! But that does mean that I can say with confidence that this particular flavour, cranberry and lime, is the least disgusting on offer! Maybe it’s just my tastes, but I find bitter ‘healthy’ drinks unpleasant. This ‘Energy’ variety of Medahuman thought manages to balance some of that bitterness caused by the main ingredients of cranberry and lime and achieves a slight sweetness. At £2.50 per can it isn’t cheap, but this product does have a unique selling point and was stocked in a major UK supermarket. I can’t say that I noticed any effects from the CBD, and perhaps after 5 cans over the course of a week I am not supposed to noticed much. It worked as an energy drink though, providing enough caffeine to stop that ever present potential cold turkey headache.
Optimum Nutrition Pre-Workout – Lemon Lime
October 7th, 2023I 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!
Prime Energy Drink Lemon Lime
May 14th, 2023First 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…

Boost Juic’d Watermelon and Lime Twist
September 10th, 2022Despite the fancy graphics and promise of watermelon and lime in a refreshing large can, this was actually a bit forgetful. Honestly, I finished the can and couldn’t remember much about what it tasted like really – it was just a bland background drink that was a bit watery and sweet. No distinct flavour at all unfortunately.

Oshee – The Witcher – Blizzard (Strawberry-Lime)
July 30th, 2022Last time I tried an Oshee drink it was a very ‘health’ oriented brand with Vitamin Energy labelling plastered all over the cans. They appear to have taken a very different approach lately and have released a couple of Gaming Edition flavours in conjunction with The Witcher. The can is adorned with so many words, in both English and Polish, but from what I can gather this drink is both an Energy Elixir and a Witcher Potion in the flavour of a Blizzard. Blizzards must taste like Strawberry and Lime then. It’s quite a sharp and sickly flavour, not too refreshing sadly. Probably sharp enough to kick you into action whilst gaming though…

Monster Mule Ginger Brew
September 12th, 2020Energy drinks with ginger are rare, and usually they burn! Monster have managed to get the flavour just right here. There’s no hint of the usual Monster energy mix here at all, instead you have a nice and surprisingly refreshing ginger and lime (aka, Moscow Mule without the vodka) drink. It’s quite high in sugar and gives you a massive kick there along with the usual caffeine content. I found this from US import site https://atasteofthestates.com/
