It\u2019s hard to know whether Liquid Death is killing it in the sparkling water world. Everywhere I shop, its cans and multipacks are buried within the hordes of LaCroix, bubly, Waterloo, and store brands. While the company is concerned with murdering our thirst, I wonder if the others are slaughtering its market share. Well, to get a little market share elsewhere, Liquid Death is taking a stab at the energy drink market with a line of Sparkling Energy Drinks.<\/p>\n
Available in four flavors\u2014Scary Strawberry, Tropical Terror, Orange Horror, and Murder Mystery\u2014Liquid Death\u2019s energy drinks have zero sugar, no sucralose or aspartame, no artificial colors or dyes, B and C vitamins, and 100 milligrams of caffeine naturally sourced from coffee beans.<\/p>\n
Yup. Just 100 milligrams of sweet caffeine. A nice round number that Liquid Death calls \u201cunextreme.\u201d I\u2019m a bit flabbergasted by that amount because for a company that wants to murder our thirst and bring death to drowsy (the can\u2019s words, not mine), I\u2019m disappointed these don\u2019t have 187 milligrams of caffeine. But I guess 100 isn\u2019t so bad since a 12-ounce can of Red Bull has 114 milligrams.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re familiar with Liquid Death\u2019s other products, you won\u2019t be surprised by the mild, watered-down flavors these have. If you\u2019re not familiar, they have a taste that\u2019s between the other sparkling water brands I mentioned in the opening paragraph and any other energy drink, but leans more towards water.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Among the four varieties, the two that stand out are Murder Mystery and Tropical Terror. I initially thought the former would be a mystery flavor, but it turns out it has the same flavor as Liquid Death\u2019s Doctor Death, which has a Dr Pepper-like taste. As a fan of Doctor Death, I approve of it. I also endorse Tropical Terror, which tastes terrific. It has a noticeable, tasty pineapple flavor with a hint of coconut, which makes me wonder if this is similar to Liquid Death\u2019s Pina Killada, which I have never tried. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Scary Strawberry and Orange Horror were also great tasting and reminded me of strawberry and orange sodas, but, you know, watered down like the others. I believe there have been strawberry and orange Liquid Death options, but I haven\u2019t tried them, so I can\u2019t compare. But all four are worthy of a rebuy.<\/p>\n
While there\u2019s a lot to like about these, not coming in 16-ounce cans from the get-go is disappointing. Most new energy drinks seem to come in 12-ounce slim cans, which I don\u2019t mind. But if I\u2019m standing in front of tens of thousands of milligrams of caffeine, and they\u2019re all roughly the same price, my hands are more likely to pull off the shelf something with 16 ounces. If these are someday available in 16-ounce cans, maybe they could have 187 milligrams of caffeine?<\/p>\n
Overall, I think Liquid Death\u2019s foray into energy drinks is a successful one. A negative I\u2019ve had about its sparkling water is the lack of caffeine, but these have erased that issue. If you\u2019re a fan of the company\u2019s previous beverages, the way these taste won\u2019t be unfamiliar to you. However, if you\u2019re used to sweet energy drinks with a ton of flavor, these might not appeal to you.<\/p>\n
