Monster Energy Electric Blue
June 20th, 2026It’s blue raspberry! Well, what else would it be when it’s called “electric blue”!? This is a US import drink which I discovered in Budgens in Egham, UK and cost quite a bit as a consequence. I was a bit disappointed really – it’s a very sweet drink and doesn’t have the usual Monster taste that you’d usually expect. Just a basic blue raspberry drink on the tangy side. There are much better Monster flavours out there.

Monster Energy Ultra Punk Punch
June 13th, 2026This is essentially quite a light tasting tropical energy drink. It’s slightly tangy, much less full-on in taste than their original Ripper flavour. It’s not too sweet, but also a bit meh overall, sorry to disappoint! Ok as a one off, I probably wouldn’t rush to get it again, not because it’s bad, just because it’s nothing unique or new.

Let’s Get Ready To Rumble – Sour Apple
May 9th, 2026Yes, it’s Apple, no it’s not sour. It’s quite a mild apple flavour to be honest, nowhere near as strong as an apple squash for example – more like a watered down sweetened apple juice. Plenty of caffeine so you’ll get your kick, but probably not the most refreshing flavours in the range.
Let’s Get Ready To Rumble – Cherry Fizz
May 2nd, 2026It’s cherry flavoured that’s for sure, but not in-your-face so. The smell is stronger than the taste – it’s quite a mild cherry flavour and certainly not sour like the ‘fizz’ part would suggest. It’s sweet and smooth, not too sickly. I’d say they probably have the balance of the cherry flavour about right for such a large sized can.
Rubicon Raw Energy Wave Edition Peach and Apricot
April 25th, 2026It does the job. A large can of caffeinated tropical flavoured drink… it’s sugary tasting, quite artificial, but really very nice and not too sickly despite that. Difficult to say much more about it really, it doesn’t stand out – very middle-of-the-road, inoffensive but not extraordinary.
Monster Juiced Viking Berry
March 10th, 2026A 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!

Lucozade Alert Blue Rush
February 7th, 2026It’s WKD Blue! Pretty much exactly the same flavour spot on… so that’s blue raspberry I believe. It’s really nice when cold, refreshing and of course overly sweet as you’d expect.

Monster Energy Lando Norris Zero Sugar
July 8th, 2025I’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, 2025It’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.
