Literally overnight, you packed your bags and were gone forever. Replaced by that tart Watermelon, you were the perfect Red Bull. I will forever miss you and just wished I could have said goodbye\u2026.or at least bought a case.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Seriously, Cranberry Red Bull just left the shelves with no warning. While the other flavors are fine, none have come close to filling Cranberry&#8217;s shoes. Even calling the Watermelon the &#8220;Red Edition&#8221; hurts to see and has led to a few moments of false hope. Usually, when seasonal versions are announced, they don&#8217;t catch my attention. This year&#8217;s Winter Edition, however, immediately caught my eye: Pomegranate.<\/p>\n<p>Pomegranate-flavored foods tend to walk a very odd line flavor-wise. Real pomegranate tends to be naturally sweet but also quite tart with an earthy quality. As a result, fake pomegranate flavors are usually overly sweet to compensate for their tartness. I know that this flavor wouldn&#8217;t completely replace my beloved cranberry, but I had high hopes it would be in the same realm.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/redbullpom2.jpeg?resize=600%2C681&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Red Bull Winter Edition Pomegranate Glass\" title=\"redbullpom2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"681\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The pomegranate scent was very strong when I opened it. Smelling it reminded me of those funky-shaped bottles of pomegranate juice. The earthy juice smell the fruit is known for was very pronounced. This was promising as it made me hopeful it wasn&#8217;t going to be cloying.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;m happy to report, it exceeded my expectations. It has a wonderful balance of tart pomegranate flavor that tingles my cheeks with enough sweetness to enhance the fruitiness. While it&#8217;s easy to enjoy as is, it&#8217;s certainly a drink that was made to be a mixer.<\/p>\n<p>This Winter Edition doesn&#8217;t replace my precious Cranberry, but it&#8217;s easily the best flavored Red Bull that&#8217;s been released in quite some time. Pomegranate is a hard flavor to get right, and I think Red Bull managed to do so without it being too tart or too sweet. I can foresee this being a popular base for winter\/holiday cocktails\/mocktails. In fact, I think it would make a good faux-mosa (orange juice and Red Bull Pomegranate) for Christmas breakfast.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $2.50 (on sale)<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 12 fl oz can<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Publix<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 9 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (1 can) 160 calories, 0 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 125 milligrams of sodium, 40 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 38 grams of sugar, 0 grams of protein, and 114 milligrams of caffeine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I need to take a moment to mourn the passing of my all-time favorite Red Bull variety: Cranberry. 2012-2020 Cranberry Red Bull, just as I was beginning to get to know you, you suddenly left.
