A classic artificial cherry drink. It’s quite strongly flavoured and although not a low calorie drink, it’s quite low in calories really. A good summer drink, nice and fresh!
Oh I loved this one! So smooth, fruity and moreish that I’d drunk the can before I’d realised I hadn’t paced myself. Yes, be careful! One of my favourite drinks in a long time and you can really taste both the cherry and raspberry working well together in combination.

I am definitely getting a cherry taste from this punch drink. I’m not sure what other fruits are in this punch but cherry is the overwhelming main flavour! Very sweet, not that refreshing, but quite moreish!
A very interesting mix of berries. The blackberry and blackcurrant being the predominant flavours here giving an unusually sharp edge to this Monster drink – not in a bad way at all, it’s a really nice drink, it’s just more tangy than most Monster drinks. A great additional to their portfolio!

I 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.

So this is what it tastes like when you mix a tropical drink with a cherry one. Tropical cherry. It’s certainly unique that’s for sure. I’m not sure if I actually like it or not, I mean, I don’t hate it, it’s just an assault on the senses is all, not what I’m expecting on my taste buds! You have the tartness from the tropical, plus the sherbettyness (new word, officially) from the artificial cherry flavouring. The name Raptor I’m assuming is referring to the Velociraptor dinosaur and not the birds of prey… and I’m basing that off the picture on the can!

The second Braw flavour I’ve discovered. Like the Blue Raspberry one, the can is glossy black with a paper label stuck to it – quite smart but unusual. Flavour-wise it doesn’t kick you in the face, but the artificial cherry is quite nice and balanced just right. A pretty good drink for the budget price I paid (89p I think).

Wow, there’s a lot of caffeine in this drink! It kept me awake perfectly while on holiday exploring the busy sights of New York. Cherry Blade Lemonade. I get cherry. I get Lemonade. I don’t get blade… not sure what that is all about really. I was a bit disappointed with the flavour to be honest because I was expecting a citrus drink with a slight tang of cherry. It was quite synthetic in my opinion… packed a punch though.
Well, I’m not too sure about the branding choice with C4… should a drink being explosive really be celebrated? But it is anyway, and they’re making the most of the bomb-based associations by calling this ‘Frozen Bombsicle’ flavour and claiming it’s an ‘explosive energy drink’. Still, it tastes amazing! It turns out the flavour is actually cherry-citrus, and those two are a great combination. Really smooth and refreshing. It also contains something called BetaPower/Betaine which is some sort of mystery ingredient license by DuPont. I’ve no idea what it is but there is a warning on the can saying “This product should not be used if food supplements containing betaine are consumed the same day”. I can’t help but think that they should make that warning clearer and also point out wtf betaine is if it’s so portion-limitingly critical!
