Shilajit Energy Mixed Berry
February 14th, 2026If you asked someone “give me something that tastes medical” then this drink is likely the sort of thing you’d get! Before I talk about the flavour though, let’s talk about the ingredients. This is called Shilajit energy and it contains Shilajit extract which is some sort of naturally occurring resin found in the Himalayas in the crack of the rocks, made from decomposed plant material. There are many supposed but not proven health benefits which I’ll leave you to Google. The drink also contains saffron, although that spice is so delicately flavoured that it’s probably only being used as a natural colouring. Finally let’s talk about Zamzam Water. I had to search for information about this because I’d never heard of it before, but apparently the Zamzam well is a holy well in Mecca. So somebody has actually visited Mecca, bottled up some of the holy water from that ancient well, taken it back to America and included it in an energy drink, albeit only at a dilution of 0.01%. Let’s move on to the flavour – it’s medical. As in you can sort of taste it’s fruity, but it’s like the flavour is there to mask whatever other ingredients are supposed to be doing you good. I really didn’t like this drink and couldn’t finish it, sorry guys! It’s like it had an underlying taste of plastic and it wasn’t good at all. Full marks for originality, but 1/5 for taste… no other energy drink has gone to the effort of collecting unusual ingredients from both the Himalayas and Saudi Arabia.

Red Bull Spring Edition (2026) Cherry Sakura
February 14th, 2026I know what cherry is, but I had to Google “sakura”. Turns out sakura is cherry blossom – the actual flowers of the cherry tree. Well, I would describe this drink as a delicate cherry flavoured beverage. It’s certainly not “Haribo” cherry, not synthetic cherry like you get in sweets and most cherry flavoured drinks, but if I had to actually describe the flavour then I’d say it’s something in between Burn and Red Devil. It’s not your typical Red Bull flavour that’s for sure, although there is still that trademark smoothness.

Body Fuel Energy Shot: Orange
February 8th, 2026Normally energy shots are quite bitter and unpleasant, but this one is surprisingly sweet. As always with shots though, it is jam-packed with caffeine – 200mg which is more than two cans of Red Bulls contains so just be warned that it’ll hit hard! As far as flavour goes, I’d say this is probably one of my favourite shots that I’ve ever had.
Lucozade Alert Blue Rush
February 7th, 2026It’s WKD Blue! Pretty much exactly the same flavour spot on… so that’s blue raspberry I believe. It’s really nice when cold, refreshing and of course overly sweet as you’d expect.

Hell Strong Watermelon
January 31st, 2026It says it’s “Strong” watermelon flavour and it’s not wrong! The flavour is not subtle at all, very much in your face and attacking the back of your throat! If you like watermelon flavouring then this is certainly for you. I found it perhaps a little bit strong for my liking which made it sickly by the end of the can, but that could be just down to my own personal taste because the flavour itself was nice.

Lucozade Alert Ultimate Energy
January 17th, 2026I was expecting just some sort of bog standard clone energy drink and I was very wrong. There’s no clue on the can really as to what the flavour is, it doesn’t even say “mixed fruit flavour” or anything similar. All it says is it’s a “Sparkling guarana energy drink” and when I opened the can I caught a sudden whiff of what I think is blackcurrant. The colour of the drink is the usual expected yellow-tint, but I’m pretty certain this is a blackcurrant flavoured drink, along the lines of Ribena. That might make sense actually because the manufacturing company is called “Lucozade Ribena Suntory Ltd” so perhaps they have plenty of blackcurrant flavouring to spare. It has a bit of a tang to it compared to a blackcurrant squash, so you do get a slightly more bitter note at the back of your throat by comparison so perhaps that’s the guarana doing that.

Body Fuel Energy Shot: Berry Blast
January 10th, 2026Yup, berries. It’s the usual deal with an energy shot – you take a decent gulp and then a deep breath as the bitter flavour kicks in. It was on the sweeter side of things, but still pretty synthetic tasting. So far I’d say the blue raspberry one tasted nicer.
Perfect Ted Energy Juicy Peach
January 3rd, 2026The second flavour of Perfect Ted “Healthy Energy” I have discovered, this time it’s peach as opposed to Apple Raspberry before. I honestly couldn’t drink much of the Apple Raspberry one, it was basically like a slightly fruity but very bitter tea and I didn’t like it. The peach flavour is a little bit better. It’s still very bitter and leaves a strange taste at the back of your throat. You can still taste the tea but it’s not as potent with the peach masking it more.
Monster Energy M-3 Extra Strength
December 27th, 2025Take the unmistakable taste of Monster Energy, concentrate it slightly into a syrup, reduce the carbonation, and you have M-3! This is a Japanese imported energy drink in a funky little glass bottle and it’s superb! As usual with Asian imported energy drinks, I’ve had to rely on Google Translate for the nutritional information. The bottle also has a little blurb on the label which the translator struggled with. It might say “Drink MP and Smash It” or it might say “Drink M and have a little snack” amongst many other suggestions… either way it’s a smooth and enjoyable energy drink.
