Brite: Raspberry Mint

December 7th, 2024

I 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.

Protein Dynamix Dynamo Booster Shot – Blue Raspberry

August 31st, 2024

As with all energy shots there is a bitter taste to this drink, but the blue raspberry flavouring does a brilliant job of making this drink taste ok! Don’t forget that this is a massively potent shot containing 200mg of caffeine, so I’d suggest not having ANY other energy drinks within 24 hours of this one. It wakes you up good and proper all by itself!

Alani Nu Breezeberry

June 1st, 2024

Breezeberry??? Nope, BLUE RASPBERRY… please, Alani, put the actual real flavours on the can somewhere! I’d have still bought it, but your mysteriousness is just annoying. Yeah, it’s nice, it’s very sweet and it’s packed full of caffeine.

Body Fuel Blue Raspberry

May 4th, 2024

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.

Virtue Yerba Mate Peach and Raspberry

September 30th, 2023

Virtue. Clean energy. Healthy sounding. Healthy tasting. I think the peach is a bit too sharp to be nice personally, and they needed to ramp up the sweetness from the raspberry a bit I didn’t particularly enjoy this variety of Virtue due to that, but maybe it has its fans somewhere? It of course contains Yerba Mate (clue is in the name) which is a form of herbal tea from a South American plant related to holly according to Wikipedia! This is where the caffeine component of the drink comes from.

Prime Energy Drink Blue Raspberry

August 26th, 2023

This surprised me. I was expecting a super-strong-kick-me-in-the-face-flavour like the other Prime Energy drinks, however the blue raspberry, whilst very sweet and sickly, wasn’t massively strong. It’s not quite as refreshing as I’d hoped, but it’s nice and tastes just like most other blue raspberry drinks really.

Ted Lasso Pregame Energy Drink

May 13th, 2023

This was discovered in a small shop in New Orleans – not by me I should add, it was a gift! Now I’m not certain if this is officially endorsed by Ted himself – the can is a plain silver affair wrapped in a plastic film design which suggests to me that this was a small batch run using a promotional gear company (the sort of cans you get at corporate shows and events that are wrapped in some random product’s branding… look everyone our new window cleaning gizmo saves you energy so drink this energy instead). Sorry, I digress… I was expecting a regular cheap clone but was very surprised when I opened the can and the drink was bright blue. Turns out it’s blue raspberry flavour! Overall, it’s a novelty, really well presented in the can actually and taste-wise it’s not what I expected. I would say go grab a can but I couldn’t honestly tell you where to find it!

Mountain Dew Spark

October 1st, 2022

Nope, I really didn’t like this one. It was very sickly and gave me heartburn. I couldn’t finish it because of that. I think if you’re going for Mountain Dew, still to the original flavour.

Sparkling Ice + Caffeine: Apple Raspberry

September 3rd, 2022

Another excellent variety from the Sparkling Ice+Caffeine range (three-for-a-pound don’t you know!). Refreshing, not too strong in flavour but certainly not watery. I’d say the raspberry is the dominant flavour here rather than the apple.
