SCI-MX Xplode: Atomic Passion
November 1st, 2025I have absolutely no idea what flavour this is! There’s a slight tang to it, maybe a bit tropical – I would guess from the name that it might be passion fruit but I’m not certain that’s the main flavour. It doesn’t matter anyway because it’s actually a really nice and refreshing fruity drink! As with other pre-workout drinks, drink with caution because it’s very high in caffeine.

Body Fuel Ultimate Pre-Workout: Cosmic Candy
October 25th, 2025Another very high caffeine-content pre-workout drink so consume responsibly. “Cosmic Candy” is the flavour of this drink and the can has little wrapped sweets drawn all over it. The problem is candy doesn’t tend to be “candy” flavoured, that’s not a thing! Candy/sweets are normally specific flavours themselves, like lemon or lime or orange or something. This drink is basically mixed fruit flavoured. It’s very nice don’t get me wrong, and I’d love to know the actual flavourings used, but it’s like a mixture between summer fruits and forest fruits I’d guess. An interesting drink…

Asda Diet CHRG Summer Fruits Energy Drink (2025)
September 6th, 2025Summer fruits is great for the summer it turns out. I can taste raspberry and cherry in this, but there are definitely other less identifiable fruits mixed in there. I enjoyed this, it was just the right strength of flavour with no strange aftertaste or sickliness. Top marks for taste!

Asda Diet CHRG Energy Drink (2025)
August 16th, 2025This is probably my favourite of all the own-brand clone drinks. Asda’s own-brand ‘Diet CHRG’ is smooth and tasty, exactly what you want from a bog standard ‘mixed fruit’ sugar free energy drink. No fancy herbal infusions, just a great taste at a great price. There’s no bitterness, no nasty aftertaste… it does the job well. Asda has been through a number of branding exercises with their energy drink ranges, originally calling it ‘Blue Charge’ and offering dozens of varieties over the years. This appears to now have matured into three flavours that I can find: original; diet; and summer fruits.

Celsius Live Fit Cosmic Vibe Fruit Burst
August 9th, 2025Interesting. I’m not sure what the official legal definition of ‘Cosmic Vibe’ flavouring is, but the can declares it as ‘mixed fruit’, which is basically what every Red Bull clone drink says it is. But this is not a clone. I’d say it’s sort of berry flavoured, more on the cherry side of things with a hint of citrus or pomegranate. There’s an odd bitter aftertaste but it’s not too strong. Mixed fruit is a good definition of what it is, but I wish they actually stated the specific fruits involved! Expensive and not as good as many alternatives, but mostly confusing with each sip.

Red Bull – The Pink Edition (2025) Forest Fruits Sugar Free
August 2nd, 2025Forest Fruits is an interesting flavour – there’s no specific list of included fruits on the can so we’re left guessing. Usually forest fruits would include berries (like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc) and also stone fruits like plums and cherries. I guess it depends on which country they are taking their forest fruits from but in this case I am getting a flavour of general mixed berries, with a hint of cherry, and something else giving it a bitter under-note… maybe cranberry or something similar? It’s a really nice drink anyway, very fruity, and nicely sugar-free too. I’ve heard rumours that there’s a full-fat version of the pink edition out there too so I’ll keep my eyes open for that.

Red Bull – The Lilac Edition Sugar Free (2025) Grapefruit & Blossom
July 14th, 2025It’s not often I’m disappointed with a Red Bull drink, but this time I was 🙁 I’m not saying it was a bad drink at all, it was quite nice and refreshing, but with this being billed as a ‘lilac edition’ I was hoping for something special, especially with the ‘blossom’ flavouring mentioned. Sadly this drink pretty much just tastes like a tropical energy drink – from the grapefruit I assume. Perhaps the blossom needed to be paired with something gentler in flavour, maybe a very light lemon flavouring, in order for it to shine through. Also, why lilac? It’s not purple in colour inside the can. My brain was expecting something more like grape flavouring rather than grapefruit. Anyway – also available in full fat (if I can find that version to compare), this is very low in calories due to it being the sugar-free version.

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.
