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.

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.
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.

A very sweet tropical flavoured drink. No sugary or sickly aftertaste which is a very good thing, but it’s also not that special and I don’t think it deserves the premium price tag. The Raspberry Lemonade flavour of Sneak was much better I thought.

Sweet and refreshing – a nice smooth tasting pineapple flavoured drink. Sugar-free and in a large 500ml can. Nothing special, but then again it’s a decent drink!

My reaction to trying this the first time: “oooooh”. It’s different! I was expecting a tropical flavoured drink but it’s so not that! It’s very sweet and there’s something almost parma violet about it, but not quite. It says on the can that it’s a blend of exotic fruits with a hint of spice. I can’t taste the spice, but I get the exotic fruits. It might be watermelon? Whatever it is I like it!
Am I starting to warm to Apple flavoured drinks or are they just making them less horrible? I wasn’t looking forward to trying it to be honest but it’s nice! A smooth apple flavour, not really tangy like you’d expect from Millions, but very sweet and tasty.

Red Bull are becoming quite consistent in their releases of Summer and Winter special editions. For Summer 2025 they have gone with White Peach. I’ll be honest, I didn’t know there were different types of peaches so I had to look it up! Normal peaches are ‘yellow’ peaches, and compared to those a white peach is supposed to have a more delicate and sweeter flavour. It’s certainly nice in a drink, slightly tangy but refreshing. However, it does become sickly quite quickly and definitely needs to be kept ice cold as it’s not as nice once it starts to warm up.

Oooh now this one is interesting. There’s no clue on the can as to what ‘cosmic rainbow’ flavouring might actually be so you’re going to have to take my best guesses here. There’s a note of blackcurrant for starters, so I think that’s the main flavour, but it’s also sweeter and slightly tangy so I reckon there might be some fresher tasting berries in there too. Something like raspberry maybe, if you mixed blue raspberry with blackcurrant I think you would come up with this flavour… maybe I’ll do some experimenting and find out. Whatever the case, it’s quite nice!
