G Fuel Tetris Blast
October 15th, 2022Since 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.
C4 Ultimate Arctic Snow Cone
October 8th, 2022This 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!
Mountain Dew Spark
October 1st, 2022Nope, 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, stick to the original flavour.
Dr Pepper Energy
May 22nd, 2021Take Dr Pepper, bung some caffeine in it, and market it as an energy drink… and there you go! It really is just Dr Pepper but not suitable for children. There’s nothing else quite like Dr Pepper, so it does obviously have to get full marks for originality. They haven’t skimped on the sugar either, so you get a full kick out of this can. There is one caveat here though: this is a US import and not available in the UK apart from specialist import sites.
Monster Juice Pacific Punch
May 16th, 2020A great big sugary hit of Monster’s tropical blend… they have a lot of tropical blends and this one is particularly sweet but not synthetic. It’s genuinely quite fruity!
5-hour Energy Orange
July 21st, 2018It says 5 hours on the bottle, but this beauty got me through a 6 hour drive along the M4 on a busy bank holiday Friday evening. As you’d expect from a shot, it’s more about the instant caffeine hit whilst minimising bladder impact than the flavour which makes it a perfect driving companion.

Red Bull Summer Edition (2018) Coconut Berry
July 14th, 2018I discovered this is a convenience store in New York, flossing over it originally when seeing The Summer Edition thinking I’d already tried it… then I noticed it was Coconut Berry not Lime. Weird combo, but it works! They’ve left the coconut subtle and the berry compliments it nicely, very refreshing indeed and like no drink I’ve tried before.
365 Liquid Energy Shot: Pomegranate
July 7th, 2018Pomegranate flavoured drinks are alway approached with apprehension by me. I usually find them too bitter and especially in shot form. I was pleasantly surprised that this one wasn’t too bitter! Don’t get me wrong, is was still bitter, but nowhere near as strong as I’d imagined.

365 Liquid Energy Shot: Mandarin Orange
June 9th, 2018Given the specific mandarin declaration I was expecting something a little sweeter than your average bitter shot, but sadly that wasn’t the case. It’s not bad for a shot but it’s still on the bitter side.
