Frugo Energy Watermelon and Strawberry

May 16th, 2026

Pretty nice! You can taste the watermelon, but it’s subtly against the much stronger strawberry. Sweet, no bitterness at all, and smooth. I’d be happy getting this one again that’s for sure but it is on the lower side of strength in terms of caffeine content.

X Energy Drink Sugar Free

March 7th, 2026

Pick a letter, X will do, that looks cool, and stick the words “Energy Drink” after it. That’s a winning brand name of course! The drink is a clone of course, but a very light and delicate one. It’s carbonated, but there wasn’t much of a hiss when I opened the can and the carbonation is very slight. The flavour isn’t strong, but it is quite nice and sweet. Worth a try for certain, but it might not become a staple of your diet! (which reminds me, it’s low calorie too!)

Celsius Live Fit Fantasy Vibe Orange

November 29th, 2025

Another extremely caffeinated Celsius drink, this one inexplicably named “Fantasy Vibe” for what is an orange flavoured drink. It’s actually a really nice and refreshing orange drink, not too sweet or tart, just about right! This is possibly one of my favourite “Live Fit” varieties that they’ve released.

Body Fuel Ultimate Pre-Workout: Frozen Popsicle

November 22nd, 2025

A massively potent blue raspberry drink! The flavour is strong and the caffeine is strong so be cautious and limit yourself to no more than one can (of this and anything else!) in a day. It’s refreshing and sweet so great for a warm summer’s day.

Body Fuel Ultimate Pre-Workout: Strawberry Lemonade

November 15th, 2025

Extremely moreish! But be warned, this is packed full of caffeine so drink slowly and make sure you have no other caffeine in the same day because this is a pre-workout drink which is the equivalent of over two cans of Red Bull. It’s a great mixture of lemon and strawberry and very refreshing.

SCI-MX Xplode: Atomic Passion

November 1st, 2025

I 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, 2025

Another 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…

SCI-MX Xplode: Original

October 4th, 2025

There’s a new category of energy drinks popping up in shops recently: the pre-workout drinks. These are usually 330ml cans with extra high caffeine content of around 200mg. You’ve got to be careful drinking these – please consume carefully or if you’re particularly sensitive to caffeine then avoid and go for one of the regular energy drinks. This particular drink is from SCI-MX, the sports nutrition brand who mostly make protein supplements and similar products so I guess a pre-workout drink is on-brand. The original flavour I’m trying here is unusual – I was expecting some sort of Red Bull clone but what I actually got was a tangy sour fruit drink, possibly passion fruit? There’s no clue on the can as to the flavour but it’s certainly an interesting choice for the ‘original’ variety. Also in this can is 3g of citrulline malate… and yes, I’m Googling that right now… one second reader. Oh, ok… it’s some sort of pre-workout supplement that delays the on-set of muscle fatigue. So I guess if you’re about to run a marathon then it could be useful – I’m sure if you’re already serious about supplements in your training plan then you’ll already be taking this, so if you are then make sure you’ve considered that this drink already contains one of your doses.

Red Bull Soda Energy Drink Apple Muscat Grape

September 20th, 2025

This is another Thai Red Bull made by TCP rather than Red Bull GmbH. It’s very lightly carbonated and describes itself as Apple and the very specific Muscat variety of grape. I can’t actually taste the Apple but I can taste the Grape – it’s a nice solid grape soda drink! Once again I’ve had to do my best with the nutritional information in this review because the can is almost entirely in Thai. Anyway, very different to Western versions of Red Bull, even the flavoured editions.
