Zevia Zero Sugar Energy Drink, Classic Variety Pack, 12 oz Cans (12-Pack) – Naturally Sweetened, Non-GMO Project Verified, Gluten-Free, Vegan

I love the mils approach Zevia has for energy drinks. Usually this type of beverages gives bad jitters, a bad aftertaste and the high amount of caffeine gives me headaches. The Zevia drinks has sligthly less caffeine, but still provide a nice boost when I need it without extra calories or sugar. I also love a variety mix, I prefer to switch around flavors; so the classic mix hits the spot. Grapefruit - Personally I would preffered a stronger bitter grapefruit flavor, but I guess the slight sweeteness makes this more tolerable be a larger audience. The mild fizz makes a good combination with the bitter-sweetness; not the most natural taste, but not badly artificial. Raspberry Lime - A generic berry fruitness (couldn't tell necesarilly is raspberry) with just a hint of lime, not too acidic or citrusy; probably my favorite Zevia energy flavor. Mango Ginger - Not a fan of ginger flavored drinks usually, but I don't minf enjoying this flavor from time to time. It's strange, but even when chilled this gives me an almost warming taste. Very nice balance of ginger and mango, no flavor overpowers the other. Cola - I am not a Cola snob, probably other would compare it more with other cola drinks and find something to complain about. For me it taste good.

We love all the Zevia drinks. Great variety of flavors and sizes. Stevia is one of the two sweeteners recommended and used by my oncologist. I don’t have to give up sofa. Great taste!

With Coke discontinuing their line of Coke Energy drinks I had to look for something different. I am not a coffee drinker so their new coffee based energy drinks was a no go for me. I primarily drank Coke Zero Energy, while occasionally adding Coke Cherry Zero Energy for taster variation at times. I was very comfortable with the caffeine content in the Coke Zero Energy version and usually had only one in the morning. I came across the Zevia Zero Calorie Energy Drink and decided to try them as an alternative. My goal was find a caffeine replacement that had a quality taste, knowing I might have to abandon the traditional "Coke Flavor" that I cherished every day. I ordered the variety pack and here is my take on each flavor ranking them overall on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being least favorable, 5 being most favorable). Zevia Zero Calorie Energy Drink Grapefruit Flavor - 5/5, I actually really liked this flavor. It is not as harsh as some grapefruit drinks, but fruity flavor with no real aftertaste. It was smooth and the caffeine levels seemed the same as Coke Zero Energy Zevia Zero Calorie Energy Drink Raspberry/Lime Flavor - 4/5, This flavor was ok and not as lime flavored as I expected. It still has a fruity flavor but somewhat indistinguishable that it is raspberry and/or lime. Also it did leave an after-taste that I may get used to in the long run, but lingered a bit. It was also smooth and the caffeine levels seemed the same as Coke Zero Energy Zevia Zero Calorie Energy Drink Mango/Ginger Flavor - 2/5, On first taste of this one it is a really striking flavor and very much reminds of every medicine I hated taking as a kid. It had a very strong aftertaste and really did not match my taste. I did have a lingering taste from this drink at least two hours later. It did seem to match the caffeine levels similar to Coke Zero Energy. I would not buy this flavor again. Zevia Zero Calorie Energy Drink Kola Flavor - 4/5, This flavor was ok, it tasted like what I expected from generic Coke like products usually taste like. It was smooth and really did not leave any aftertaste. The caffeine level was very much the same. Coke Zero Energy is my baseline here, these are not really a like to like replacement as the fruit flavors offer a different overall taste from traditional line of Coke drinks. The Kola version was close, but did not hit for me. I would probably buy these again, but only the specific flavors, avoiding the Mango/Ginger. Price is just about the same per can versus the Coke Zero Energy. Aesthetically I liked the cans color and feel, the black top of each can was a nice change.

I used to be hooked on Celsius cola flavored energy drinks but there’s been some concerning research done on that brand lately. I also wanted to try a decrease my caffeine intake. Going from 200 mg of caffeine in Celsius to 120mg caffeine in these Zevia drinks makes me so happy and I CANNOT tell a difference at all! I still get that caffeine rush I want, the mental clarity and the nice crisp taste of a Coke. Love this and have them on auto ship.

Let me tell ya something, brother—Zevia Zero Sugar Energy Drink Classic Variety Pack is like stepping into the ring with good intentions but not getting the full body slam you were hoping for. The flavors are clean, smooth, and refreshing, no doubt about it, and I can dig that it’s zero sugar, which is great for keepin’ the fuel clean. But the energy punch? It’s a little shy, man. I was lookin’ for that full-on surge to get me charged up like a main event, and sometimes it just leaves you cruisin’ in the corner. It’s a solid choice for folks who want a lighter lift without the crash, and the variety pack keeps it interesting. But if you’re after that thunderous, championship-level boost, you might be left wishin’ for more. Three stars, brother—good, but could use a little extra oomph.

I cannot stress enough that this product is not for everyone. If your goal is to be more healthy at any expense, then this is drink might be for you. If you just want to feel less guilty about your addiction to energy drinks, move along. I wish I had taken the negative reviews about the taste more seriously. My initial thought was, people are just too picky. The flavors can't possibly be that bad. I was so wrong. I purchased the mixed pack so I could try everything and decide on a flavor to stick with. The Mango/Ginger tastes the way Vicks vapor rub smells. It's by far the worst. The Kola flavor is a watered-down substitute with a strong stevia after-taste. The Grapefruit was not horrible but still lacked any redeeming qualities. The Raspberry/Lime was the least offensive of the bunch but only marginally. Overall, it was difficult to get through any of them. Also, the energy boost is close to a 12oz cup of coffee. Underwhelming at best. So many reviews tout how much more healthy this option is than the more mainstream options. And they're right in saying so. To also proclaim how great the taste is, does a disservice to people trying to find a "tasty alternative" to more popular brands that are less so. I cannot recommend this product based on the taste. If you don't really care then give it a try... at least the Mango/Ginger will clear up your sinuses a bit (Vapor-Rub).

Honestly I think I have a problem. Between my dad and I, we consume like 40-60 of these a month. They are by far the best energy drinks I've ever had.

The Grapefruit is my favorite flavor of Energy Drink line by far. The Mango Ginger, Peach Passionfruit and Watermelon are solid too.
