Alani Nu’s Slush Line has grown. Does it even call it the Slush Line? There’s been Pink Slush, Blue Slush, Cherry Slush, and now this Lime Slush. (Spotted by Robbie at Walmart.)

I think I’m done with Unwell Energy Drinks. Forever, forever ever.
My taste buds were intrigued by Frosted Cranberry, the first Unwell Energy Drink I ever caffeinated myself with. But the follow-up varieties I’ve tried, Cherry Lime and now this Peach Sorbet, have been letdowns with flavors that don’t get me excited for future releases the way Monster, Alani Nu, and Bang energy drinks do.
The Peach Sorbet has a pleasant peach aroma that smells wonderful, but, like the Cherry Lime, it doesn’t translate into a flavor that’s equally sublime. There’s some peach juice from concentrate that gives the drink a natural, but mild and mediocre peach flavor, but it doesn’t hit the taste buds hard like other peach-flavored beverages in the energy drink space. Its cane sugar and stevia-sweetened flavor makes me want to nurse it for a while instead of chugging it down.

Like the Cherry Lime flavor, there’s also an odd mid-sip texture that makes this protein-free drink feel somewhat like a protein drink. My best guess is that the 745 milligrams of electrolytes are the culprit, but whatever the cause, it makes the drink less refreshing.
Also, I’m not sure what the deal is with the “sorbet” name. I didn’t taste anything that would make me think of sorbet. It’s just a mild peach drink that uses a fancy word in its name.
Overall, if Unwell’s Peach Sorbet Energy Drink didn’t have sweet, sweet caffeine, I would probably just let it sit in my fridge. Forever, forever ever.
