4 Sparkling Citrus Energy Drinks With a Juicy Taste
Four of our sparkling citrus flavors, compared on citrus character, sweetness, and fizz.
Key Takeaways
- Our sparkling citrus lineup runs four flavors deep: Citrus Burst, Jordyn Jones' Cherry Lime, Jaclyn Hill's Orange Twist, and Sparkling Pink Lemonade. All four pour zero sugar and five calories.
- For a citrus drink that tastes fruit-forward rather than candy-like, look for citric acid near the top of the label, then check that it avoids sucralose, aspartame, Ace-K, and erythritol.
- Pick Citrus Burst when you want sharp lemon, Cherry Lime when you want cherry up front, Orange Twist for a rounder sweet orange, and Pink Lemonade for the sweet-tart end of the range.
- Every can gives you 150 mg caffeine from green tea and 75 mg L-Theanine, and all four are an EXCELLENT source of Biotin, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, and Niacin.
- Serve yours well chilled: cold keeps the carbonation crisp and the citrus tasting brighter.
We build our citrus flavors around citric acid, real fruit flavor, and Reb M stevia, a rare steviol glycoside, so the sip stays bright instead of cloying. Every sparkling can pours 0 g sugar, 5 calories, 150 mg of caffeine from green tea, and 75 mg of L-Theanine. Our whole sparkling line is Vegan, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO Project Verified, OU Kosher Pareve, and Made in the USA.

--Our 4 Sparkling Citrus Flavors, One by One
Here are the four citrus flavors we make, ordered from the sharpest hit to the mellowest sip. If you want a full ingredient and vitamin breakdown on one of them, our Citrus Burst deep dive goes further on that flavor.
1. Citrus Burst: Best for a Direct, Zesty Lemon Profile
Citrus Burst is our most direct citrus hit: bright, fizzy, and zesty, built on citric acid with lemon flavor, sweetened by Reb M stevia and no artificial sweeteners. Reach for it when you want the sharpest citrus in the lineup.
2. Jordyn Jones' Cherry Lime: Tangy Cherry Meets Zesty Lime
Jordyn Jones named this one, and she calls it the perfect blend of tangy cherry and zesty lime. The panel keeps it short: citric acid, cherry flavor, and vegetable juice for color, sweetened with Reb M stevia. Pick it when you want citrus with a darker fruit edge instead of a straight lemon snap.
3. Jaclyn Hill's Orange Twist: Sweet, Nostalgic Orange
Jaclyn Hill calls her flavor a celebration of sweet citrus with a refreshing orange taste in every sip. Citric acid and orange flavor carry it, with beta carotene for color and a little ascorbic acid, or Vitamin C, alongside the Reb M stevia. Choose it when you want the sweetest, softest citrus of the four.
4. Sparkling Pink Lemonade: Classic Sweet-Tart Lemonade
Pink Lemonade is the softest landing in the group: classic sweet-tart lemonade with a juicy, fizzy finish. Citric acid and lemonade flavor set the tartness, and vegetable juice gives the pink its color. It doubles nicely as an uplifting afternoon pick-me-up or a sparkling mocktail base.

What Makes a Citrus Energy Drink Taste Fruit-Forward
A fruit-forward citrus taste comes down to real acidity, balanced sweetness, and lively carbonation rather than heavy flavor syrup. Here is what we look at when we build a can.
Start With Acidity and Real Fruit Flavor
Citric acid plus real fruit flavor is what gives a can its zest and mouthwatering tartness. On our own cans it sits right after carbonated water on the ingredient list. Formulas that lean on heavy flavor syrup instead tend to land closer to sour candy than fresh fruit.
What to Read on the Ingredient List
Many sugar-free drinks lean on sucralose, aspartame, or Ace-K, which can leave a lingering aftertaste, or on sugar alcohols like erythritol, which dissolves with a noticeable cooling sensation. We sweeten with Reb M instead, a rare steviol glycoside that makes up well under 1 percent of the stevia leaf and tastes rounder than older stevia extracts.
Carbonation and Serving Temperature Matter
Temperature changes how you taste citrus. Cold keeps more carbon dioxide dissolved, so the bubbles stay sharp and the acidity reads brighter. Let a can warm up and the fizz fades while the sweetness moves forward, so pour yours straight from the fridge.
How to Choose and Serve Your Best Citrus Pick
Go with Citrus Burst for a sharp, zesty lemon direction, Cherry Lime or Orange Twist when you want your citrus rounder, and Pink Lemonade for the mellowest sweet-tart sip. Whichever you pick, look for Reb M on the label and serve it cold. Explore our ingredients explained page or use our store locator to find your favorite flavor near you.
