Red Bull Winter Edition (2026): Pistachio and Berries (sugar free)
October 4th, 2026Very unusual! It’s definitely got a nutty taste to it, no doubt that the pistachio flavour is in there, but combined with the berries it has a contrasting sweetness to it. This is certainly quite different to most Red Bull flavours and you’d be hard pressed to identify it as a Red Bull branded product to be honest. It’s nice, I probably wouldn’t buy it again though although I did have to get a multi-pack of 4 because that’s all that was available in Morrisons!

Huel Cherry & Raspberry
October 3rd, 2026Oh 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.

Sneak Energy Purple Storm
September 5th, 2026Now “purple” is a very cryptic flavour description and there are no other clues on the can as to what the real flavour actually is. Well, I am pleased to say it’s a berry drink! Quite fresh summer berries I would say, a nice mix – sweet and refreshing and really nice. So far I’m very impressed with Sneak Energy’s canned drinks, they are managing just the right balance of everything to make them very drinkable.

Ghost Sour Pink Lemonade
August 29th, 2026Finally, a sour drink that is actually a bit sour! I mean, it’s not massively sour but it does at least have a bit of a tang to it. It’s pink lemonade, so it’s basically strawberry flavoured and very nice indeed. I liked this one although it did start to become a bit sickly by the end of the can as it warmed up.

Huel Vitamin Drink: Blue Raspberry
July 25th, 2026What an unusual taste! Normally when you try a blue raspberry drink you end up with the ultra artificial freeze-pop flavour that we all know and love. But, this Huel drink has something a bit more cakey about it. And by cake I actually mean the baked sponge cake taste. I’d say this drink is more like a blueberry muffin than blue raspberry, perhaps it’s because of the real raspberry juice in the ingredients? After drinking this I almost felt like I’d eaten a fruity muffin or doughnut, it’s an odd sensation. A nice taste, just odd and unexpected is all!

Sneak Energy Blizzard Lemonade
July 18th, 2026Sneak has been popping up on my social media feeds for a few years, originally because they made a mix-yourself energy drink powder product. They have expanded into actual cans now and this is the first one of their products of any type that I’ve tried. It’s a nice lemonade, on the sharp side but very moreish and refreshing. I’m now quite keen to try tleirother flavours if I can find them…

Huel Vitamin Drink: Pineapple & Mango
July 11th, 2026This is about as fruity as an energy drink gets I reckon. From the company that brought you the concept of “Fed up with nice food? Just drink our rebranded gruel instead…” comes their own branded healthy-sounding energy drinks. To be fair to them, it does contain grape, pineapple and mango juice as the second biggest ingredient after water so it isn’t as unhealthy as most energy drinks. This is a tropical flavoured drink though, and not a bad one at all really. If it wasn’t for the high price I would certainly be up for trying this again.

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.

Frugo Energy Mango
May 23rd, 2026It’s a nice smooth tropical flavoured drink in some crazy cool artwork-laden can. A bit expensive for what it is – it’s certainly not premium tasting, but there’s nothing wrong with it other than it being a bit lower in caffeine content than most other brands.
