Prime Energy Strawberry Watermelon

December 9th, 2023

I couldn’t taste the watermelon, but I could taste the strawberry. Do you know what? This is basically pink lemonade, like you get in the Irish supermarkets, but obviously with a massive caffeine hit. It’s nice and refreshing, just like pink lemonade is.

Oshee Futuryx Lab Booster – Wild Strawberry-Apple

October 21st, 2023

The strawberry’s not only going to be wild, it’ll be livid 🙂 Not as bitter tasting as I thought it would be – usually shots are very sour and bitter. This one, whilst still on the sour side, mostly tasted of concentrated apple. There was a slight strawberry aftertaste but it’s pretty much apple all the way down. Not as highly caffeinated as many other shots, which is a good thing because a lot of them are trying to pack 200mg into a 60ml drink and that’s ridiculous. This is a more sensible 100mg dose, so only slightly more than a regular 250ml can of energy drink would contain.

Rockstar Refresh Strawberry and Lime

May 6th, 2023

I know that strawberry and lime is a popular combination now, but I’m not sure I get it. I love lime. I love strawberry. But, together? It’s not unpleasant but you end up with it tasting of neither, just a mush of strawberry lime hints in a general fruity drink. Look, the drink is ok, it’s refreshing, but I’m just not sure that strawberry and lime is up there with the killer combos of tomato and basil, or chocolate and orange. Not that you’d want either of those from an energy drink of course.

Monster Rehab Strawberry Lemonade

February 20th, 2023

I wasn’t that keen on this one, sorry. I love lemonade flavoured energy drinks, but the strawberry part wasn’t to my taste. It was a definite Monster drink, recognisably so, and packed the usual wake-up punch you’d expect. Similar to ‘pink lemonade’ but not quite so moreish.

Red Bull Summer Edition (2022) Apricot and Strawberry

December 3rd, 2022

I know, it’s winter by the time this review is being posted, but that’s not my fault. I didn’t find it in the shops until a few weeks ago! There’s a definite Red Bull feel to the flavour, it’s smooth and fruity. The apricot is unusual for an energy drink and is quite nice, but I couldn’t really taste the strawberry coming through at all. There was a general fruity mix to the flavour along with the apricot. Overall, this is quite summery tasting and not as odd as you might think!

Mio Energy Strawberry and Pineapple Smash

November 12th, 2022

Another concentrated drink which I added a couple of squirts to some carbonated Sodastream water. You do get a slight whiff of Strawberry, but honestly this drink is more like a normal, if slightly fruity, clone energy drink. It’s really nice! I found this in Target while on holiday in New York, and I’ve not found it in the UK yet but if I do, I’ll be buying several of them.

Oshee – The Witcher – Blizzard (Strawberry-Lime)

July 30th, 2022

Last 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…

Flyte: Red Berries

December 28th, 2019

This drink is branded at the super-premium end of the spectrum. It has a matt-black can design and is pretending it’s some sort of carbon-neutral domestic energy supplier with its “clean energy” tag line. The clean part is actually referring to the natural sources of caffeine and the vegan/non-GMO ingredient list. Taste-wise it’s quite bitter, which was surprising seeing as drinks containing strawberry are usually quite sweet.

5-hour Energy Strawberry Watermelon

April 15th, 2017

I was hoping for a nice smooth tasting drink but as this was a shot it had a really bitter flavour. It does pack one ‘eck of a kick though and tweaked me for hours!
