Mountain Dew: Baja Blast
December 13th, 2025As smooth as you’d expect from any Mountain Dew drink! This is a US imported drink that I discovered in a local convenience store, or corner shop as we call them here in the UK. The can says it’s a tropical lime flavour, but forget the tropical part, it’s a really nice and smooth lime flavour which is clearly synthetic because the can proudly declares that it contains 0% juice! I know this has been around for a long time and it’s taken me a while to track a can down, but it was worth it, this has got to be one of my favourite drinks I’ve tried in recent years.
Lucozade Energy Blue Burst
November 8th, 2025Lucozade Energy always used to be quite watery but these newer flavours are much more robust! Blue Burst is supposed to be tropical flavoured, and perhaps it is but it’s more a slightly tropical twist on blue raspberry. Maybe it’s the colour of the drink messing with my senses but I’m sure it’s not *that* tropical. It’s quite sickly though due to the large amount of sugar in it and as with most Lucozade products the amount of caffeine in it is not listed meaning it’s pretty low.
Furocity Tropical Rampage
July 19th, 2025I’m always apprehensive when trying a new energy shot. I know that they’re going to most likely be bitter and unpleasant. But… with those low expectations already set then sometimes you get a nice surprise. Ok, so this drink is definitely bitter and not a great taste, but the baseline is against other energy shots and this one was much nicer than average! The bitterness is tempered with a sweetness from the tropical flavouring, almost tangy in some respects and because of that you don’t get the usual lingering aftertaste from most shots. As energy shots go, this one’s ok I suppose!
Rockstar Tropical Guava
June 21st, 2025This particular Rockstar variety is branded for the ‘Creamfields’ festival and they’ve gone with a Tropical Guava flavour. I wouldn’t say it’s that tropical personally, it’s more like a fruity berry drink – there’s none of that normal tropical tang you would normally get from a tropical drink. It’s really nice, but it’s not tropical.
Sneak Energy Tropikilla
May 17th, 2025A 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.

Monster Punch: Rio Punch
April 26th, 2025My reaction to trying this the first time: “oooooh”. It’s different! I was expecting a tropical flavoured drink but it’s so not that! It’s very sweet and there’s something almost parma violet about it, but not quite. It says on the can that it’s a blend of exotic fruits with a hint of spice. I can’t taste the spice, but I get the exotic fruits. It might be watermelon? Whatever it is I like it!
Furocity Mango Mayhem
March 15th, 2025Now this is much more inline with what you would expect from a tropical flavoured drink: mango, apricot and ‘tropical’ according to the details on the can. I’m a bit concerned about the random ‘tropical’ item in that list, I’m non-the-wiser as to what that might actually be, but there’s no mistaking the tangy and sharp tropical flavouring you’ll be familiar with from every other tropical drink out there.
Furocity Tropical Thunder
February 22nd, 2025It’s a tropical energy drink! Not too tangy, quite smooth really and the passionfruit is the main flavour rather than the peach (is peach a tropical fruit? I don’t think it is…). A large can, low in calories, best served chilled because it gets a bit sickly as it warms up.

Kong Strong Colossus: Orange, Passion Fruit, Guava
October 19th, 2024It’s a tropical energy drink. Badge it up however you like by listing the fruits used but at the end of the day it’s a huge (colossal?) can of tropical energy drink! Not bad, and from the budget supermarket Lidl so a decent price too.
