Mountain Dew: Blue Shock
June 13th, 2026If you ever wondered what the ultimate in artificial flavouring is, this is it! It tastes of the purest blue possible 🙂 Well, blue raspberry anyway, like the most artificial and sugar blue raspberry you could possibly imagine. It’s of course smooth and moreish just like every Mountain Dew flavour and I loved it, but you definitely know it’s not good for you.
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!
Red Bull Summer Edition (2026) Citrus Zest
April 18th, 2026I honestly don’t know how they keep coming up with new flavours. This is the summer flavour for 2026 and as you’d expect it’s very refreshing! I was expecting it to be mostly lemon, but it’s actually a nice mixture of lemon, lime and orange (or some sort of orange-like fruit). It’s in no way tropical, just pure tangy refreshing citrus fruits. An absolute hit and one of my favourite limited editions that they’ve done. This is full-fat, I’m hoping they do a sugar-free version too so I’m keeping a look-out for it.
Monster Energy Ultra Fantasy Ruby Red
June 9th, 2025This 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.

Raptor Citrus
January 6th, 2024I love lemon energy drinks, and this one despite being generically named ‘citrus’ is pretty lemony. It’s refreshing and smooth, really nice. It has just the right balance of sweetness and sharpness and is low calorie too.

3D Citrus Mist
September 9th, 2023I found this being sold at what looked like an American import pop-up shop in Cardiff and grabbed both flavours on offer. However, on closer inspection of the can whilst this is an American brand, it’s actually made in the UK for distribution here! It looks like the flavours available here in the UK are a little different to those in the US – this one is called Citrus Mist but according to their web site it’s called Citrus Dew in the US. Anyway, it’s really nice! A gentle and very refreshing lemon flavour in a large can, and it doesn’t tire the senses by getting too sickly. The balance of quantity and flavour is perfect and they’ve managed to create one of my favourite energy drinks in a while. It’s really in contrast to the strong, punchy and sickly flavours of the Prime Energy drinks that I’m also trying at the moment!

Mio Energy Wicked Blue Citrus
November 5th, 2022This 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.

C4 Ultimate Arctic Snow Cone
October 8th, 2022This 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!
Sparkling Ice + Caffeine: Citrus Twist
August 27th, 2022Brilliantly refreshing and just the right balance of flavour and sweetness. I could drink loads of this, and even though it’s not that caffeinated I’m going to give it top marks for taste and originality.
