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.

Celsius Live Fit Peach Vibe

June 14th, 2025

White peach energy drinks seems to be a trend for summer 2025 because this is the third one I’ve found so far this year. This particular one is quite tropical tasting overall and not that refreshing really, but it packs a huge amount of caffeine so when you’re that tweaked does being refreshing even matter?!

Monster Energy Ultra Fantasy Ruby Red

June 9th, 2025

This 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.

Celsius Live Fit Sunset Vibe Mango Passion Fruit

June 7th, 2025

As I write this review it’s one of the warmest days of the year so far and a tropical flavoured drink goes down very nicely on a day like today. This drink is not too sickly and nicely sugar-free, but it is quite heavy on the caffeine so packs a decent punch of wake-up-ness.

Virtue Clean Energy Lemon & Lime

May 18th, 2025

How can you ruin lemon & lime flavouring? It’s the perfect refreshing combination. Well somehow Virtue have managed it 🙁 They’ve made it bitter and given it a strange aftertaste. I was very disappointed, this was sharp and watery with none of the sweet refreshing tang that I was hoping for – look, I’ll happily chew on slices of lemons and limes all day, I love them, but none of that flavour was in this drink sadly.

Sneak Energy Tropikilla

May 17th, 2025

A very sweet tropical flavoured drink. No sugary or sickly aftertaste which is a very good thing, but it’s also not that special and I don’t think it deserves the premium price tag. The Raspberry Lemonade flavour of Sneak was much better I thought.

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!

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.
