Monster Energy Electric Blue
June 20th, 2026It’s blue raspberry! Well, what else would it be when it’s called “electric blue”!? This is a US import drink which I discovered in Budgens in Egham, UK and cost quite a bit as a consequence. I was a bit disappointed really – it’s a very sweet drink and doesn’t have the usual Monster taste that you’d usually expect. Just a basic blue raspberry drink on the tangy side. There are much better Monster flavours out there.

Monster Energy Ultra Punk Punch
June 13th, 2026This is essentially quite a light tasting tropical energy drink. It’s slightly tangy, much less full-on in taste than their original Ripper flavour. It’s not too sweet, but also a bit meh overall, sorry to disappoint! Ok as a one off, I probably wouldn’t rush to get it again, not because it’s bad, just because it’s nothing unique or new.

Mountain Dew: Pitch Black
June 6th, 2026I discovered this little gem in an American import shop in Cardiff… but this one is from Malaysia and bottled rather than in a can. It’s a grape soda drink but really smooth and easy to drink as you’d expect from any Mountain Dew drink. The drink contains caffeine but there’s no quantity given so I’ve made a guess… either way, I really like this drink and if I find it again I’ll be grabbing some more!
Tenzing Pineapple & Passionfruit
May 30th, 2026I really nice tropical-flavoured drink! Honestly, out of all the Tenzing flavours this is the best. There’s no bitterness, no sickliness, just a nice tangy drink with plenty of fruitiness. Very refreshing, very easy to drink.

Frugo Energy Mango
May 23rd, 2026It’s a nice smooth tropical flavoured drink in some crazy cool artwork-laden can. A bit expensive for what it is – it’s certainly not premium tasting, but there’s nothing wrong with it other than it being a bit lower in caffeine content than most other brands.

Frugo Energy Watermelon and Strawberry
May 16th, 2026Pretty nice! You can taste the watermelon, but it’s subtly against the much stronger strawberry. Sweet, no bitterness at all, and smooth. I’d be happy getting this one again that’s for sure but it is on the lower side of strength in terms of caffeine content.

Let’s Get Ready To Rumble – Sour Apple
May 9th, 2026Yes, it’s Apple, no it’s not sour. It’s quite a mild apple flavour to be honest, nowhere near as strong as an apple squash for example – more like a watered down sweetened apple juice. Plenty of caffeine so you’ll get your kick, but probably not the most refreshing flavours in the range.
Let’s Get Ready To Rumble – Cherry Fizz
May 2nd, 2026It’s cherry flavoured that’s for sure, but not in-your-face so. The smell is stronger than the taste – it’s quite a mild cherry flavour and certainly not sour like the ‘fizz’ part would suggest. It’s sweet and smooth, not too sickly. I’d say they probably have the balance of the cherry flavour about right for such a large sized can.
Rubicon Raw Energy Wave Edition Peach and Apricot
April 25th, 2026It does the job. A large can of caffeinated tropical flavoured drink… it’s sugary tasting, quite artificial, but really very nice and not too sickly despite that. Difficult to say much more about it really, it doesn’t stand out – very middle-of-the-road, inoffensive but not extraordinary.
