Brite: Raspberry Mint
December 7th, 2024I don’t shop at Ocado very often, maybe just once or twice a year as a treat and for a bit of variety. But getting a delivery from them means that I can take that opportunity to try some more unusual energy drinks that they sell. This is the first of three flavours of ‘Brite’ that I’m trying. Raspberry Mint is strange. It tastes neither like raspberry nor like mint, but what you end up with is some sort of tangy fruitiness. I’m not a fan of this one to be honest, it’s watery but still sickly and a bit bitter. But… two more flavours to try so perhaps the others are less strange.
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!
Oshee Vitamin Energy: Vitamin D+K
July 11th, 2020Very 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.
Brain Füd: Citrus and Mint
April 11th, 2020Another Tetra Pak still drink, this one tasting like an alcohol-free mojito! I’m not convinced that mint should be an ingredient in any drink – it takes me by surprise every time I take a sip, and not in a good way. But, I did drink the whole thing so it couldn’t have been that bad. But, it is the dominant flavour going on here and I’d have much preferred it to have been just a nice still lemon-lime drink instead.

Oxxo Elder-Mint
June 4th, 2016I guess that mint flavoured drinks are pretty original. I’ve tasted the Black Mojito before and it’s not too dissimilar. Yup, it’s just wrong! It’s lower in caffeine levels than most drinks (21mg/100ml) but that’s assuming you even get that far through the drink without gagging. Mint? In a soft drink? Weird.

Red Rooster Mojito
July 11th, 2015This is the second mojito flavoured drink I’ve discovered, the first being ‘Black – Mojito’. Red Rooster have managed to do it properly though. Black Mojito suffered from the small problem of tasting nasty, I think they may have over minted their mix. You can still taste mint in Red Rooster Mojito, but it’s tempered somewhat and the sweetness from the lime is main flavour.

Black Energy Mojito
May 15th, 2013It tastes like hedge. I don’t think that any energy drink should ever contain mint as an ingredient. Mint and lime to be specific, but you really can’t taste the lime. Avoid, avoid, avoid – it’s very original but for a good reason, it tastes minging.
