Monster Juiced Viking Berry
March 10th, 2026A very interesting mix of berries. The blackberry and blackcurrant being the predominant flavours here giving an unusually sharp edge to this Monster drink – not in a bad way at all, it’s a really nice drink, it’s just more tangy than most Monster drinks. A great additional to their portfolio!

X Energy Drink Sugar Free
March 7th, 2026Pick 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!)

FruttaMax Thunder Max Energy Drink Syrup Original Zero
February 21st, 2026This is another concentrated energy drink for use with SodaStream machine and is the sugar-free version of the already lower-than-normal in calories full fat version I reviewed previously. Make it up in a ratio of 1:23 with fizzy water and you should get an energy drink with 32mg/100ml. Compared to the full fat version, this version is slightly tangy in flavour, slightly more sour, but still a very nice bog standard energy drink – refreshing and drinkable!

Red Bull Spring Edition (2026) Cherry Sakura
February 14th, 2026I know what cherry is, but I had to Google “sakura”. Turns out sakura is cherry blossom – the actual flowers of the cherry tree. Well, I would describe this drink as a delicate cherry flavoured beverage. It’s certainly not “Haribo” cherry, not synthetic cherry like you get in sweets and most cherry flavoured drinks, but if I had to actually describe the flavour then I’d say it’s something in between Burn and Red Devil. It’s not your typical Red Bull flavour that’s for sure, although there is still that trademark smoothness.

Body Fuel Energy Shot: Orange
February 8th, 2026Normally energy shots are quite bitter and unpleasant, but this one is surprisingly sweet. As always with shots though, it is jam-packed with caffeine – 200mg which is more than two cans of Red Bulls contains so just be warned that it’ll hit hard! As far as flavour goes, I’d say this is probably one of my favourite shots that I’ve ever had.
Lucozade Alert Blue Rush
February 7th, 2026It’s WKD Blue! Pretty much exactly the same flavour spot on… so that’s blue raspberry I believe. It’s really nice when cold, refreshing and of course overly sweet as you’d expect.

Body Fuel Energy Shot: Berry Blast
January 10th, 2026Yup, berries. It’s the usual deal with an energy shot – you take a decent gulp and then a deep breath as the bitter flavour kicks in. It was on the sweeter side of things, but still pretty synthetic tasting. So far I’d say the blue raspberry one tasted nicer.
Perfect Ted Energy Juicy Peach
January 3rd, 2026The second flavour of Perfect Ted “Healthy Energy” I have discovered, this time it’s peach as opposed to Apple Raspberry before. I honestly couldn’t drink much of the Apple Raspberry one, it was basically like a slightly fruity but very bitter tea and I didn’t like it. The peach flavour is a little bit better. It’s still very bitter and leaves a strange taste at the back of your throat. You can still taste the tea but it’s not as potent with the peach masking it more.
Monster Energy M-3 Extra Strength
December 27th, 2025Take the unmistakable taste of Monster Energy, concentrate it slightly into a syrup, reduce the carbonation, and you have M-3! This is a Japanese imported energy drink in a funky little glass bottle and it’s superb! As usual with Asian imported energy drinks, I’ve had to rely on Google Translate for the nutritional information. The bottle also has a little blurb on the label which the translator struggled with. It might say “Drink MP and Smash It” or it might say “Drink M and have a little snack” amongst many other suggestions… either way it’s a smooth and enjoyable energy drink.
