Which GORGIE Flavor Should You Try First?
A sensory guide to your first sip, from crisp Citrus Burst and raspberry-led Wild Berry to the variety packs that let you try three flavors at once.
Key Takeaways
- If you like both berry and citrus, buy one of each: Sparkling Wild Berry covers the berry end of our line and Sparkling Citrus Burst covers the citrus end.
- Choose Sparkling Citrus Burst for a crisp, lemon-forward citrus flavor with a bright, refreshing finish.
- Choose Sparkling Wild Berry when you want raspberry-led berry flavor with a sweet-tart finish and bold sparkle.
- Choose a variety pack when you are undecided: one pairs citrus with tropical fruit, the other pairs melon, berry and peach tea, and either way you get three flavors in one box.
- Every standard 12 fl oz GORGIE can carries green tea caffeine, L-Theanine, zero sugar and 5 calories.
If you enjoy both berry and citrus flavors, start with two singles side by side: Sparkling Wild Berry for raspberry-led berry, and Sparkling Citrus Burst for crisp lemon. Prefer to sample before you commit? A variety pack puts three flavors in one box.
Which Two Flavors Should a Berry-and-Citrus Fan Start With?
If you like both ends of the fruit spectrum, buy one of each and taste them back to back. Sparkling Wild Berry is made with natural raspberry flavor, so you get one clear, juicy berry note with a sweet-tart finish. Sparkling Citrus Burst is made with natural lemon flavor for a crisp, tart, lemon-forward sip that works as a palate cleanser. Between the two you cover the berry end and the citrus end of our line, and you will know quickly which way you lean. Both are an easy introduction to better-for-you energy, sweetened with Reb M stevia and no artificial sweeteners.
How Do Our Flavors Taste Side by Side?
Choosing between our flavors comes down to your own sweetness and tartness preferences. From a crisp citrus palate cleanser to juicy berry, tropical fruit punch and iced tea, every can in our sparkling line tastes distinctly like itself.
| Flavor | Dominant Tasting Notes | Sweetness & Tartness | Fizz Level | Best Match For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sparkling Citrus Burst | Crisp lemon, bright citrus zest | High tartness, crisp and dry | Lively and sharp | Fans of classic lemonade and crisp citrus sodas |
| Sparkling Wild Berry | Raspberry-led berry | Juicy fruit sweetness with mild tartness | Bold, playful sparkle | Berry drinkers who want one clear berry note |
| Sparkling Pink Lemonade | Tart lemonade with a sweet finish | Balanced sweet-and-tart | Crisp, refreshing effervescence | Classic lemonade drinkers |
| Jordyn Jones' Cherry Lime | Tangy cherry with zesty lime | Tangy and fresh | Bright and lively | Cherry and lime soda fans |
| Sparkling Tropical Punch | Nostalgic red fruit punch | Fruit-sweet, low tartness | Full and bubbly | Anyone who grew up on fruit punch |
| Sparkling Mango Burst | Mango forward, with notes of pineapple and coconut | Ripe fruit sweetness | Smooth and bubbly | Tropical fruit lovers |
| Sparkling Peach Tea | Summer peach with real white tea | Sweet and gently tannic | Soft effervescence | Iced tea drinkers |
| Sparkling Watermelon Splash | Fresh watermelon | Light sweetness | Light and crisp | Anyone who wants a light, thirst-quenching can |
What Should You Choose for Different Fruit Profiles or Added Protein?
If you want a lighter fruit profile, Sparkling Peach Tea and Sparkling Watermelon Splash offer crisp, fruit-forward refreshment. Peach Tea balances summer peach with the real white tea in the can, while Watermelon Splash delivers a crisp, thirst-quenching melon burst. Both provide the same sparkling effervescence and plant-based caffeine as the rest of our sparkling collection.
If you lean tropical, Sparkling Tropical Punch is our nostalgic red fruit punch, and Sparkling Mango Burst leads with mango, with pineapple and coconut behind it. Jordyn Jones' Cherry Lime, a collab can made with one of our community members, is built on natural cherry flavor with a zesty lime edge, fresh and vibrant. All three carry the same zero sugar, 5 calories and green tea caffeine as the rest of the line.
When you want fruit flavor paired with functional nutrition, Strawberry Pop from our Protein line is your ideal match. It pairs a bright, nostalgic strawberry taste with caffeine from green tea, B vitamins, and 8 g of whey protein isolate. It contains milk, so it is not a vegan pick. Every can of Strawberry Pop serves as a GOOD source of Protein, while every GORGIE can gives you an EXCELLENT source of Biotin, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, and Niacin. We formulate our functional drinks without medical claims, focusing purely on quality daily nutrition.
What Makes GORGIE a Comfortable Starting Point for Flavor-First Shoppers?
We put flavor first and build the functional wellness ingredients in behind it. Each standard 12 fl oz can delivers 150 mg of caffeine from green tea paired with 75 mg of L-Theanine for smooth, sustained energy throughout your day. We formulate every can with zero sugar and just 5 calories, using plant-based Reb M stevia for sweetening. You will find no artificial sweeteners in our drinks: no erythritol, no aspartame, no sucralose, and no Ace-K. Our sparkling energy drinks are Non-GMO Project Verified, OU Kosher Pareve, and proudly Made in the USA.
How Do You Find Your Favorite Flavor Without Committing to One Case?
If you want to taste more than one profile first, start with a sampler. The Tropical Variety Pack gives you 4 cans each of Sparkling Tropical Punch, Sparkling Mango Burst and Sparkling Citrus Burst, so you can set citrus next to tropical fruit. The Original Variety Pack gives you 4 cans each of Sparkling Watermelon Crush, Sparkling Electric Berry and Sparkling Peach Tea. To run your own taste test, chill the cans thoroughly in the fridge, sample from the lightest citrus profile to the deepest berry, and decide which fruit balance fits your routine best.
We build GORGIE with our community. Our ambassadors and community members actively help us name drops, test prospective formulas, and vote on future releases. When you sip GORGIE, you enjoy recipes shaped directly by wellness-minded consumers who value authentic fruit taste and mindful ingredients.
