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!
C4: Millions Apple
April 19th, 2025Am I starting to warm to Apple flavoured drinks or are they just making them less horrible? I wasn’t looking forward to trying it to be honest but it’s nice! A smooth apple flavour, not really tangy like you’d expect from Millions, but very sweet and tasty.

Red Bull Summer Edition (2025) White Peach
April 12th, 2025Red Bull are becoming quite consistent in their releases of Summer and Winter special editions. For Summer 2025 they have gone with White Peach. I’ll be honest, I didn’t know there were different types of peaches so I had to look it up! Normal peaches are ‘yellow’ peaches, and compared to those a white peach is supposed to have a more delicate and sweeter flavour. It’s certainly nice in a drink, slightly tangy but refreshing. However, it does become sickly quite quickly and definitely needs to be kept ice cold as it’s not as nice once it starts to warm up.

C4: Cosmic Rainbow
April 5th, 2025Oooh now this one is interesting. There’s no clue on the can as to what ‘cosmic rainbow’ flavouring might actually be so you’re going to have to take my best guesses here. There’s a note of blackcurrant for starters, so I think that’s the main flavour, but it’s also sweeter and slightly tangy so I reckon there might be some fresher tasting berries in there too. Something like raspberry maybe, if you mixed blue raspberry with blackcurrant I think you would come up with this flavour… maybe I’ll do some experimenting and find out. Whatever the case, it’s quite nice!

Furocity Watermelon Twist
March 8th, 2025Smooth and fruity! I really enjoyed this, it was refreshing and interesting without getting too sickly I’d definitely get this one again. Conveniently the can says that this is watermelon and strawberry flavour and I reckon the strawberry is what’s making this so good.

Furocity Berry Freeze
March 1st, 2025This is basically WKD Blue, hopefully without the alcohol though. If you’re after a flavour description then WKD Blue is the closest I can think of. It’s slightly sharp and refreshing, not like your normal blue raspberry, definitely a lot more like WKD than anything else!

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.

Furocity Lemon Blast
February 15th, 2025A chance visit to Iceland (the shop, sadly not the country) flagged up an expansion of the Furocity energy drink range so of course I had to try them. I’ve decided to start with Lemon Blast because I love lemon drinks. Helpfully, all of the Furocity drinks provide a proper description of the flavour on the can amongst the small print, so this one is actually lemon, lime and mint. You can’t directly taste the mint but what it does is give the drink a slight freshness that balances out the sourness of the citrus fruits. This means it doesn’t need to be as sweet as most other lemon drinks are. I’d say they have found an interesting and winning way of cutting sugar!
Levi Roots Energy: Jamaican Sunset
February 1st, 2025You can taste the watermelon, but it’s quite bitter which I’m guessing is the guava. Sadly I couldn’t taste the chilli which might have added a unique kick to the drink, but still it was a bit unusual all the same.
