Last summer, Red Bull bestowed us a new summer flavor called Coconut Berry. The thought of this flavor being gone after summer got me to buy way more of these than I normally would have. The flavor is a great balance of sweetness from the coconut which meshes perfectly with the berry flavor. It’s not overly sweet like other flavors, not too tart, and doesn’t have a weird aftertaste. I noticed a movement on social media for this flavor to become a permanent option. I’m not ashamed to admit that I might have sent Red Bull a few emails in support of this movement. Well, you’re welcome because it is now a permanent SKU in the Red Bull line up and is now available in their smaller 8.4 ounce cans.

Red Bull released another new flavor this past January and my goodness they’ve done it to me again. This time with a Peach Nectarine flavor that once again is not overly sweet but hits the right notes of flavor. I was actually surprised at how subtle the flavor is in the drink but I really like it. The subtleness almost brings a freshness to it. As you can guess, I’ll probably be sending my emails here again soon because I’ll be devastated if they don’t make this a permanent SKU much like the Coconut Berry.

Now, I should also talk about the upcoming summer edition Red Bull since we’re on the topic. The new summer flavor is titled “Beach Breeze,” which I’m not entirely sold on considering it sounds more like an air freshener than a caffeinated beverage. However, the flavor details sound promising. The way cstoredecisions.com describes it makes it sounds so much better, “The Red Bull Summer Edition Beach Breeze has an initial tropical fruit profile, which then blooms into a warm coconut finish that’s light and crisp. Packaged in a bright turquoise can, Red Bull Summer Edition offers the Wings of Red Bull with a light and crisp taste perfect for a summer day.” I like the usage of coconut so I’ll definitely be willing to give it a try. Let’s just figure out a name that’s not so candle-esque and we’ll be good.
