Monster Energy: Lando Norris Zero Sugar

July 8th, 2025

I’m assuming that this drink will help me drive really fast, and if combined with Monster’s Lewis Hamilton drink then all sorts of crazy shiz happens. Lando’s flavour is a very fresh and crisp melon flavour. As you would expect with any Monster drink, it’s extremely smooth and manages to balance sweetness with the tang of the fruit just right. Difficult to fault a Monster drink as usual!

Monster Ultra Strawberry Dreams

July 5th, 2025

It’s quite sickly, but very nice and extremely sweet. It’s undeniably a sugar-free drink, it has the usual mouthfeel from the sweeteners in it and that does detract somewhat from the strawberry flavouring. I am normally a fan of sugar-free drinks over the full fat versions but I reckon that this particular drink would have benefited from being full of sugar instead – I just think it would have been much nicer flavour-wise. As it is, it’s an easy going drink, very pleasant, would buy again, but could be improved.

Rockstar Zero Sugar Peach

June 28th, 2025

It’s another peach drink for 2025! This one does actually taste like peach to be fair and isn’t specifying that’s it’s White Peach or anything. So just normal peach. The can has been branded for the music festival season and this one is “Reading & Leeds”. It’s reasonably sweet and refreshing, but there are better rockstar flavours out there. At least this one is sugar-free though unlike most of the other festival-branded Rockstar drinks I’ve found so far.

Rockstar Tropical Guava

June 21st, 2025

This particular Rockstar variety is branded for the ‘Creamfields’ festival and they’ve gone with a Tropical Guava flavour. I wouldn’t say it’s that tropical personally, it’s more like a fruity berry drink – there’s none of that normal tropical tang you would normally get from a tropical drink. It’s really nice, but it’s not tropical.

Monster Energy Ultra Fantasy Ruby Red

June 9th, 2025

This is not your usual Monster concoction. It’s a fruity and smooth blend with a slight citrus twist to it and I can’t quite place the flavour… I *think* it might be strawberry lemonade, but there’s definitely more than just strawberry in there. Potentially a little bit of grapefruit for the tang? However you look at it, it’s a nice easy going drink in a very premium can complete with a textured surface and a cute cartoon design. A good flavour for the summer.

Celsius Live Fit Sunset Vibe Mango Passion Fruit

June 7th, 2025

As I write this review it’s one of the warmest days of the year so far and a tropical flavoured drink goes down very nicely on a day like today. This drink is not too sickly and nicely sugar-free, but it is quite heavy on the caffeine so packs a decent punch of wake-up-ness.

Rockstar Blueberry Pomegranate

May 31st, 2025

This is one of a number of Rockstar drinks for 2025 which are branded with the names of various music festivals around the UK. This flavour for the TRNSMT festival is blueberry and pomegranate – it mostly tastes of blueberry, quite strongly too. I couldn’t taste the pomegranate, but it was extremely sweet and strong in flavour plus packed full of caffeine.

Warrior Rage Energy Shot: Lemon & Lime

May 24th, 2025

You don’t tend to see many energy shots anymore and I think the reason is because they tend to be quite bitter. This one is no different – you can just about taste the citrus from the lemon and lime flavouring, but it’s mostly masked by the sourness from the shot itself.

Virtue Clean Energy Lemon & Lime

May 18th, 2025

How can you ruin lemon & lime flavouring? It’s the perfect refreshing combination. Well somehow Virtue have managed it 🙁 They’ve made it bitter and given it a strange aftertaste. I was very disappointed, this was sharp and watery with none of the sweet refreshing tang that I was hoping for – look, I’ll happily chew on slices of lemons and limes all day, I love them, but none of that flavour was in this drink sadly.
