Mio Energy Strawberry and Pineapple Smash

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.

Mio Energy Wicked Blue Citrus

This is an odd one to review as it’s a concentrate. I added a couple of small squirts to some carbonated water that I’d made using a Sodastream. It was okay, more like a watery raspberry than citrus in my opinion.

Mango Go!

The can says that it’s Sunshine with Bubbles. Well, I guess it is quite summer-y tasting but it’s only 2% mango juice, the rest is apple and lime. That’s not much mango for a mango drink!

Hell Red Grape

Basically a grape soda! Really nice but certainly not refreshing. Very different to the majority of other energy drinks just like the regular Hell energy drink is.

C4 Ultimate Arctic Snow Cone

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!

Mountain Dew Spark

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, stick to the original flavour.

Emerge: Tangy Tropical

“Hey Bob, how are we going to sell more tropical flavoured energy drinks?”

“Just stick the word ‘tangy’ on the beginning of the name, Dave.”

And thus was born ‘Tangy Tropical’.

Nothing more to say really, it’s a 49p can of sugary tropical flavoured energy drink, disappointingly the same as I remember the non-tangy version of Emerge tasting!

Boost Juic’d Pineapple & Guava Punch

Slightly better than the watermelon and lime flavour, but it’s still just a fancy looking tropical drink in modern packaging. Very sweet, and the labelled fruits (pineapple and guava) kind of mulch up into one lump of tropical tasting drink with none of them really standing out on their own.

Boost Juic’d Watermelon and Lime Twist

Despite the fancy graphics and promise of watermelon and lime in a refreshing large can, this was actually a bit forgetful. Honestly, I finished the can and couldn’t remember much about what it tasted like really – it was just a bland background drink that was a bit watery and sweet. No distinct flavour at all unfortunately.
