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.

Celsius Live Fit Peach Vibe
June 14th, 2025White 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, 2025This 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, 2025As 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, 2025How 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.
