Red Bull – The Glacier Edition (Frosty Raspberry)
October 16th, 2026Well this is a very interesting edition – Red Bull normally release only one winter-themed new flavour but this year (2026) they have released this “Glacier Edition” in addition to their Winter one. And the reason it’s interesting? It’s like nothing Red Bull have produced before certainly in the UK anyway. Officially this is “Frosty Raspberry” and you can taste the raspberry in it for sure, but there’s also a very slight aniseed taste to it too, giving it a sharpness. But, the most immediate part of the flavour that hit me was just how watery it tasted. The flavour is extremely subtle and watered down, almost as if that glacier has melted into it. The aftertaste is one of a full-fat energy drink though, you do get the sugary feeling clagging around in your mouth after a few sips. It sounds like I’m being negative here, but overall it’s a nice fruity drink and something quite different to everything else out there.
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.

Mountain Dew: Blue Shock
June 13th, 2026If you ever wondered what the ultimate in artificial flavouring is, this is it! It tastes of the purest blue possible 🙂 Well, blue raspberry anyway, like the most artificial and sugar blue raspberry you could possibly imagine. It’s of course smooth and moreish just like every Mountain Dew flavour and I loved it, but you definitely know it’s not good for you.
Perfect Ted Energy Apple Raspberry
October 18th, 2025The blurb on the can has a nice little story: “Hey, I’m Marisa! I have ADHD and anxiety. I wanted to feel energised without the jitters or crashes, so I created a brain-boosting energy drink…” and so it continues. I am by no means an expert in ADHD or anxiety but a little bit of reading suggests that caffeine and other stimulants can help with ADHD symptoms. Every day is a school day it turns out! This drink it a tea-based drink, and I’m not a fan of tea at all – I find it too bitter, but as it’s one of the most popular drinks worldwide I am clearly in the minority. This drink as I say is mostly tea-flavoured, it’s very lightly carbonated, and has a fruity apple/raspberry flavour. Mostly it tastes of tea to me though and I’m sorry, Marisa, I couldn’t finish it because of that 🙁
Sneak Energy Raspberry Lemonade
May 10th, 2025Very nice indeed! I’ve seen Sneak Energy advertised as a powder mix before but this is the first time that I’ve seen it in a can. This flavour is raspberry lemonade and it’s very smooth and refreshing – a proper summer drink. At £1.49 I think it’s definitely setting itself up as a premium drink… I’m not convinced it’s that good but it’s not far off.

Brite: Raspberry Mint
December 7th, 2024I don’t shop at Ocado very often, maybe just once or twice a year as a treat and for a bit of variety. But getting a delivery from them means that I can take that opportunity to try some more unusual energy drinks that they sell. This is the first of three flavours of ‘Brite’ that I’m trying. Raspberry Mint is strange. It tastes neither like raspberry nor like mint, but what you end up with is some sort of tangy fruitiness. I’m not a fan of this one to be honest, it’s watery but still sickly and a bit bitter. But… two more flavours to try so perhaps the others are less strange.
Protein Dynamix Dynamo Booster Shot – Blue Raspberry
August 31st, 2024As with all energy shots there is a bitter taste to this drink, but the blue raspberry flavouring does a brilliant job of making this drink taste ok! Don’t forget that this is a massively potent shot containing 200mg of caffeine, so I’d suggest not having ANY other energy drinks within 24 hours of this one. It wakes you up good and proper all by itself!
Body Fuel Blue Raspberry
May 4th, 2024I do like a good blue raspberry drink, and this is a good one! It’s actually refreshing, even though it’s quite a strong flavour.

Ghost Sour Patch Blue Raspberry
January 20th, 2024This is a new brand to me, I’m not sure if it’s well known or not in the USA but a friend brought a selection back from holiday for me to try. The can is totally plain but with a plastic wrap label like you tend to get on PR-style custom made drinks for special events, however it doesn’t look or feel like a typical corporate brand can. The word ‘Ghost’ for example is embossed and the lettering / imagery on the yellow section of the label is textured. It has the feel of a premium drink. I had a look on their web site and there are about a dozen different flavours, quite a few of them seem to be partnered with various confectionary brand – Swedish Fish energy drink sounds amazing. This one, Sour Patch Kids, is a blue raspberry flavour. It does indeed taste of blue raspberry but sadly I don’t have any Sour Patch Kids sweets against which to compare. As a drink though, it was quite sickly. I drank the lot, don’t get me wrong, but it was a chore. Perhaps in their desire to closely match the flavour of the sweets, they forgot that if you eat massive bag of sweets you start to feel sick. Two other flavours to try though…
