Shilajit Energy Strawberry
February 28th, 2026Just like the mixed berry flavour, this strawberry one is also unpleasantly medical tasting. Nope, I can only deal with a few sips of this just to give me enough of a taste to be able to review it. The strawberry flavouring is nicer than the mixed berry one, but over all it’s like trying to choose between which urinal you are going to lick… one might look slightly cleaner than another but, well, you’re still about to lick a urinal. Anyway, sorry… you might quite like it – they wouldn’t be selling it if it wasn’t to at least someone’s taste I guess so don’t just take my word for it. Again, like the mixed berry flavour, this strawberry one is infused with the gunky resin of Himalayan Shilajit, green tea, saffron and water from the holy Meccan Zamzam well.

Shilajit Energy Mixed Berry
February 14th, 2026If you asked someone “give me something that tastes medical” then this drink is likely the sort of thing you’d get! Before I talk about the flavour though, let’s talk about the ingredients. This is called Shilajit energy and it contains Shilajit extract which is some sort of naturally occurring resin found in the Himalayas in the crack of the rocks, made from decomposed plant material. There are many supposed but not proven health benefits which I’ll leave you to Google. The drink also contains saffron, although that spice is so delicately flavoured that it’s probably only being used as a natural colouring. Finally let’s talk about Zamzam Water. I had to search for information about this because I’d never heard of it before, but apparently the Zamzam well is a holy well in Mecca. So somebody has actually visited Mecca, bottled up some of the holy water from that ancient well, taken it back to America and included it in an energy drink, albeit only at a dilution of 0.01%. Let’s move on to the flavour – it’s medical. As in you can sort of taste it’s fruity, but it’s like the flavour is there to mask whatever other ingredients are supposed to be doing you good. I really didn’t like this drink and couldn’t finish it, sorry guys! It’s like it had an underlying taste of plastic and it wasn’t good at all. Full marks for originality, but 1/5 for taste… no other energy drink has gone to the effort of collecting unusual ingredients from both the Himalayas and Saudi Arabia.

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.
Ghost Orange Cream
February 3rd, 2024Orange Cream, is that a thing? Maybe it’s an American thing because I’ve not heard of such a flavour before. I’ll tell you what this drink does remind me of though, did you ever go to a Little Chef restaurant as a child and get offered an orange lollipop after your meal? They were rectangular, orange on the outside and white on the inside and somehow stripped the skin from the roof of your mouth? Well, that’s the flavour – strong, orange, and sugary! Probably the best of the three flavours of Ghost I have tried so far.

Ted Lasso Pregame Energy Drink
May 13th, 2023This was discovered in a small shop in New Orleans – not by me I should add, it was a gift! Now I’m not certain if this is officially endorsed by Ted himself – the can is a plain silver affair wrapped in a plastic film design which suggests to me that this was a small batch run using a promotional gear company (the sort of cans you get at corporate shows and events that are wrapped in some random product’s branding… look everyone our new window cleaning gizmo saves you energy so drink this energy instead). Sorry, I digress… I was expecting a regular cheap clone but was very surprised when I opened the can and the drink was bright blue. Turns out it’s blue raspberry flavour! Overall, it’s a novelty, really well presented in the can actually and taste-wise it’s not what I expected. I would say go grab a can but I couldn’t honestly tell you where to find it!
Bang Cherry Blade Lemonade
April 22nd, 2023Wow, there’s a lot of caffeine in this drink! It kept me awake perfectly while on holiday exploring the busy sights of New York. Cherry Blade Lemonade. I get cherry. I get Lemonade. I don’t get blade… not sure what that is all about really. I was a bit disappointed with the flavour to be honest because I was expecting a citrus drink with a slight tang of cherry. It was quite synthetic in my opinion… packed a punch though.
Monster Rehab Strawberry Lemonade
February 20th, 2023I wasn’t that keen on this one, sorry. I love lemonade flavoured energy drinks, but the strawberry part wasn’t to my taste. It was a definite Monster drink, recognisably so, and packed the usual wake-up punch you’d expect. Similar to ‘pink lemonade’ but not quite so moreish.

Mio Energy Strawberry and Pineapple Smash
November 12th, 2022Another concentrated drink which I added a couple of squirts to some carbonated Sodastream water. You do get a slight whiff of Strawberry, but honestly this drink is more like a normal, if slightly fruity, clone energy drink. It’s really nice! I found this in Target while on holiday in New York, and I’ve not found it in the UK yet but if I do, I’ll be buying several of them.

Mio Energy Wicked Blue Citrus
November 5th, 2022This is an odd one to review as it’s a concentrate. I added a couple of small squirts to some carbonated water that I’d made using a Sodastream. It was okay, more like a watery raspberry than citrus in my opinion.
