\"\"<\/p>\n

Grapefruit is not my favorite fruit because it makes my taste buds tap out the moment the fruit\u2019s bitterness hits them. I can count the number of times I\u2019ve had the citrus fruit with one hand. But if every grapefruit tasted as wonderful as this Monster Energy Ultra Fantasy Ruby Red Energy Drink, I would eat so many that counting them would quickly surpass all the digits attached to my body, all 21.5 of them. <\/p>\n

Fantasy Ruby Red sounds like a name you\u2019d see on a flyer passed out on the Las Vegas Strip, but calling it Ultra Grapefruit would\u2019ve given it kind of a 60-year-old posing as a teenager vibe to it. The energy drink has a pleasant citrusy scent but didn\u2019t immediately register as grapefruit to me. After a few more sniffs, I could pinpoint the fruit, but there\u2019s a little something else fruity hitting my nose that I just can\u2019t place.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The energy drink\u2019s flavor could easily be mistaken for another fruit. It\u2019s sweet with a bit of tartness, and there\u2019s definitely none of the bitterness that grapefruit is known for. There were moments when I detected a hint of grapefruit, but if someone told me this was blood orange flavored, I\u2019d believe them, ignoring the beverage\u2019s not-blood-orange pink color.<\/p>\n

While a tremendous tasting citrusy energy drink and definitely something I\u2019ll buy again, I wouldn\u2019t say I liked Fantasy Ruby Red as much as last year\u2019s Strawberry Dreams<\/a>. But if you accidentally pick this up instead of Strawberry Dreams because, at a quick glance, their pink cans could be confused for each other, I don\u2019t think you\u2019ll be disappointed with Fantasy Ruby Red.<\/p>\n
