<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As far as I\u2019m concerned, it ain\u2019t summer until Red Bull says it is.<\/p>\n
Well, good news, that new Red Bull Summer Edition just dropped, and we are now in the midst of a Dragon Fruit summer.<\/p>\n
Ah yes, dragon fruit, the magical fruit that hatched into my life about twenty years ago. We\u2019ve all probably tasted dragon fruit in some form, but none of us have actually ever eaten a dragon fruit. Yes, I speak for everyone here. You\u2019ve never had a dragon fruit, nor has anyone you know. If you dispute this claim, I regret to inform you that you are living a lie.<\/p>\n
My introduction to dragon fruit \u2013 which should be one word \u2013 was in the early 2000s when I went through a 2 bottle a day Vitamin Water Power-C phase. Remember when we lied to ourselves about the health benefits of Vitamin Water, only to find out it was essentially melted Skittles with good marketing?<\/p>\n
Well, I\u2019m drinking a Red Bull, so I guess times haven\u2019t really changed.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I loved the flavor and was pretty pumped to see Red Bull utilizing the fiery fruit of legend.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I found the green can to be an odd choice, but then figured it was probably a tribute to the cosmic beings who brought dragonfruits to this planet. Because if you\u2019ve ever seen an artist\u2019s rendering, it\u2019s clearly alien.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
When I cracked the can to a welcoming hiss, I was met with the wafting scent of an Ocean Spray mixed juice cocktail. It looked like one too. The cough medicine purple-ish color was possibly the darkest I\u2019ve seen in an energy drink.<\/p>\n
As far as the flavor goes, it brought me right back to those Vitamin Water days. It\u2019s extremely vibrant and spritzy as you\u2019d expect. The dragonfruit taste smacks you in the face at first, but transitions into an unripened berry sourness. I\u2019d say it was almost like a mix of unripened strawberry and raspberry.<\/p>\n
Unripe berries are a major buzzkill for me, but the flavor works in an energy drink. I\u2019ve had some Red Bull flavors that left me flat and unsatisfied, but this one really did \u201crevitalize my body and mind.\u00ae\u201d<\/p>\n
It started sweet, got sour, and finished with a Strawberry Life-Saver aftertaste.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d say dragonfruit is the perfect flavor to represent summer because it made me wanna cannonball into the nearest body of water.<\/p>\n
For a fake fruit that looks like a pink fireball stuffed with vanilla bean ice cream, dragonfruit really does have a great flavor that definitely works in carbonated form.<\/p>\n
Perhaps I will one day trek out into whatever treacherous jungle dragonfruits allegedly grow in and partake of the fruit itself, but for now, I\u2019ll just pick up another can.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
This Red Bull gave me wings\u2026 and also an earworm because, for some reason, I\u2019ve been singing \u201cRed Bull, Red Bull\u201d to the tune of David Bowie\u2019s \u201cRebel Rebel\u201d since I drank it. I hope I can now pass that on to you, my fellow dragonfruit non-eaters.<\/p>\n
