Energy Drink Reviews 

As an energy drink connoisseur I took it upon myself to rate various brands and their flavors. I’ve rated the flavors and brands on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest. 

Monster Energy

I found myself very disappointed in Monster Energy drinks. People always make jokes about the brand, but I truly hoped I would enjoy their drinks; however, they all had the same unpleasant aftertaste. On the brightside, the cans were very pretty and a decent size, although I did not like that I couldn’t get a smaller or bigger can than the standard. I tried the most sold and commonly found flavors. 

Ultra Sunrise 8/10

Zero Ultra 4/10

Original 1/10

Ultra Watermelon 2/10

Overall I would give the brand a 4/10. The only one I would buy again is the Ultra Sunrise.

Bang Energy

Bang Energy also disappointed me. After seeing them advertised everywhere on social media through famous tiktokers and on Instagram I was eager to try them, but as with Monster, all of the drinks left a bad taste in my mouth. The Blue Razz was the best one, but still not what I would consider good. I initially enjoyed some of these drinks, but the immediate aftertaste killed that enjoyment.

Bangster Berry 4/10

Cotton Candy 1/10

Wyldin Watermelon  2/10

Blue Razz 5/10

I had to tap out after a few sips from each drink, giving the brand a 2/10.

Redbull

Last but not least, I drank through my favorite energy drink brand, Redbull. There is not a single flavor that I don’t like from this brand, but I do find myself reaching for the Watermelon can more than others. These drinks were the only ones I could stomach and finish because there was no horrible aftertaste. The cans are also more colorful than Bang’s and they come in different sizes, making it more convenient to grab a smaller can for a quick pick me up.

Pomegranate (winter edition) 6/10

Watermelon 10/10

Arctic berry (winter edition) 10/10

Coconut 8/10

Tangerine 7/10 

Blueberry 7/10 

Original 6/10

Tropical 7/10

Peach nectarine 7/10 

Dragonfruit 9/10

Sugar Free 5/10

The brand is an 8/10 for me. The branding and commercials are always creative and there is no flavor that is below a 4/10.

Whether you are a student staying up for a paper or an athlete needing an extra boost I recommend Redbull as a go too option. Just remember that drinking too much of any kind of energy drink can make you sick, so enjoy in moderation.
