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.

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.

C4: Pineapple Head

May 3rd, 2025

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!

Monster Punch: Rio Punch

April 26th, 2025

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!

C4: Millions Apple

April 19th, 2025

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.

C4: Cosmic Rainbow

April 5th, 2025

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!
