Vimto Energy Zero
January 13th, 2024Exactly the same as the regular full fat Vimto Energy only low in calories. Honestly, I couldn’t tell the difference, there was no strange aftertaste or ‘chewyness’ that you get sometimes with the sugar free variants. If you have the choice then you might as well go for this zero version.

Raptor Citrus
January 6th, 2024I love lemon energy drinks, and this one despite being generically named ‘citrus’ is pretty lemony. It’s refreshing and smooth, really nice. It has just the right balance of sweetness and sharpness and is low calorie too.

Rockstar Refresh Watermelon Kiwi
December 30th, 2023As drinks go, this is quite a smooth but generally bland energy drink. It’s refreshing and inoffensive but it just doesn’t stand out. The most unusual thing about the drink is the colouring of the can. The pink inside the Rockstar star actually looks like someone left the can out in the sun and bleached a red star to pink.

Raptor Tropical Cherry
December 23rd, 2023So this is what it tastes like when you mix a tropical drink with a cherry one. Tropical cherry. It’s certainly unique that’s for sure. I’m not sure if I actually like it or not, I mean, I don’t hate it, it’s just an assault on the senses is all, not what I’m expecting on my taste buds! You have the tartness from the tropical, plus the sherbettyness (new word, officially) from the artificial cherry flavouring. The name Raptor I’m assuming is referring to the Velociraptor dinosaur and not the birds of prey… and I’m basing that off the picture on the can!

Vimto Energy
December 16th, 2023It’s fizzy Vimto but full of caffeine! For the international audience, Vimto is a British soft drink, usually sold as squash (cordial) to be diluted with water. I’ve checked Wikipedia and it turns out it’s also one of the most popular soft drinks in many Arab countries too! Anyway, it’s flavoured with grape, blackcurrant and raspberry, has a slightly medicinal taste to it, but is very refreshing. What they’ve done here is make it fizzy (I’ve never had Vimto carbonated before so that’s a first, I might be using it with the Sodastream now!) and packed it full of caffeine. It’s a good combination, certainly full marks all around and one of the better energy drinks I’ve had in recent years.

Prime Energy Strawberry Watermelon
December 9th, 2023I 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.

Red Bull Winter Edition (2023) Spiced Pear
December 2nd, 2023I’ve seen many annual updates of the summer edition of Red Bull but this is the first winter edition I’ve come across. The spiced pear flavour is a bit like pear drops mixed with cinnamon and I was expecting something tart and sickly. Instead I was very pleasantly surprised as this was a subtle flavour and really easy to drink. I’d definitely have this again!
Protein Dynamix Dynamo Booster Shot – Cola
December 2nd, 2023As with all shots, the flavour is intense and bitter. It’s undoubtably cola flavoured, but not in a pleasant way! This is designed to give you a quick liquid shot of caffeine as fast as possible. It packs in 200mg of caffeine actually, which is a lot – keep in mind a can of Red Bull is 80mg, so you’re downing two and half cans equivalent. Please, please remember that and don’t follow it with a chaser of Monster!
Prime Energy Ice Pop
November 18th, 2023It tastes exactly like the non-caffeinated version – mostly like sugary sweet cherry fizzy stuff. Maybe there’s other flavours in there too apart from cherry, like if you took a bag of Haribo, melted it down and tried to drink the mix of sugary random fruity fizzy gunk. It’s nice, not that refreshing given its overpowering sweetness, but certainly original.
