Orange Cream, is that a thing? Maybe it’s an American thing because I’ve not heard of such a flavour before. I’ll tell you what this drink does remind me of though, did you ever go to a Little Chef restaurant as a child and get offered an orange lollipop after your meal? They were rectangular, orange on the outside and white on the inside and somehow stripped the skin from the roof of your mouth? Well, that’s the flavour – strong, orange, and sugary! Probably the best of the three flavours of Ghost I have tried so far.

The second of three Ghost energy drinks from the USA that I’m trying – this time Warheads Sour Watermelon flavour. I’ve never tried Warheads but they appear to be a sour flavoured hard candy and I had plenty of sour sweets as a child, but I’ve no reference point to compare this drink against sadly. As a standalone drink it is both sour and watermelony, but very sickly and strong in flavour much like the blue raspberry one was. Not a great taste experience and not very refreshing.

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!
Wow, there’s a lot of caffeine in this drink! It kept me awake perfectly while on holiday exploring the busy sights of New York. Cherry Blade Lemonade. I get cherry. I get Lemonade. I don’t get blade… not sure what that is all about really. I was a bit disappointed with the flavour to be honest because I was expecting a citrus drink with a slight tang of cherry. It was quite synthetic in my opinion… packed a punch though.
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.

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.

Since there was no description for the flavour of this drink on the can anywhere, and I assumed that it wouldn’t taste like differently shaped and coloured blocks, I had to resort to the ingredients list. Included flavourings were broccoli and kale… I promise you, this drink does not taste like green stuff. It’s slightly fruity and mild but refreshing. Not a stand-out original flavour, but not bad at all. I think the best thing going for this drink through is the branding. It’s also quite high in caffeine just like most American energy drinks appear to be.
This is an odd drink to place the flavour. It’s quite bland but not watery – very refreshing in fact. With no calories at all, it’s not sickly. I’d making a guess that the flavour is lemon/citrus, but seeing as the can declares that it contains 0% juice even that is uncertain!
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.
