Amazon Brand - Solimo Red Energy Drink, Sugar-Free, Vegan, Low-Calorie, 16 fl oz (Pack of 12)

Half the "kick" of this energy drink is the flavor. On first sip, I had a sense memory flashback to college when I used to drink 4-5 energy drinks each day, and favored the orange and yellow Venom drinks. It's not quite the specific flavor as them, but this has a distinctly similar "weight" to the flavor, like taking a shot of sno-cone syrup. Plus it has the same secondary bitter wave that hits the top of your tongue, followed by a tertiary sour kick-in-the-jaw. Overall, I think it's quite tasty, but I know I can have a weird sense of taste. It's definitely aptly named. It tastes red af. If you're reticent about the strength of the flavor, you can cut it with sparkling water. It apparently goes pretty well with Dasani Black Cherry, I've just discovered. Edit: These Solimo Energy Drinks (both Red and Silver) have become my morning beverage. Despite only having 2g of erythritol (sugar alcohol), they're sweet-tasting enough to satisfy a life-long soda/energy drink addiction. As mentioned previously, they're great for cutting with various sparkling water flavors. For Red's vague-fruity-punchy flavor, my favorite are Strawberry Guava (Dasani) and Cherry (Bubly); for Silver's citrusy flavor, my go-to is Lime (Dasani).

Good lower cost alternative to main stream energy drinks, taste is average.

Took a chance on this as the price was better than most all others. Pleasantly surprised. It's tart and not too sweet. Can't pinpoint the flavor. Maybe cherry with hint of strawberry and cranberry. None of those just jump out. I drink one of these in the morning as I can't stand coffee. It has become more of the ritual of doing it versus the actual feeling it gives me. I honestly could lay down and take a nap after drinking any energy drink. Haven't tried the white one yet but will do so eventually. Good job Amazon. Pretty decent take on the energy drink.

When I received it half of the cans were busted and leaked. Luckily it didn't destroy the other purchase I had in the same package. The box it was packed in was too large which allowed for extra jostling so maybe just needs a better packing system. That's not really anything about the product itself, mainly about the SOPs of packing. I got the "Red" Flavor because I saw a review saying it tasted like a Red Bull. Unfortunately, it does not taste like a Red Bull. It takes more like a "fruit punch" flavored type drink similar to Monster brand. That's fine. I guess it was too hopeful for someone to replicate the Red Bull flavor (especially sugar free). Otherwise, it's fine. It does the job. At 1$ a can you really can't complain about it. It was mainly just annoying that half of the cans were busted (which I guess would make them 2$ per can :P )

I actually like this energy drink quite a bit. The flavor is solid for a sugar-free energy drink and it’s easy to drink without tasting overly artificial. What really makes it stand out though is the price. Compared to a lot of other energy drinks, it’s hard to beat the value you get for a whole pack. Overall, it’s a good everyday energy drink if you want something affordable that still tastes decent.

One of the best first impressions an energy drink has given me. Great flavor, but subtle (I'm getting notes of apple, but officially it's just red flavored, so whatever). More carbonation than other drinks in the category (zero sugar and 150-200 MG of caffeine per can), which I enjoyed. I've tried a lot of zero sugar energy drinks before, and I can honestly say that I've never had anything else like these. I WILL be ordering these again.

This is the 2nd or 3rd time I'm ordering this drink and Amazon has been postponing on delivering this multiple times. I ordered this on 12/20/2025 and it's now 03/26/2026; it's over 3 months late. Taste isn't bad, not sure about the energy level or caffeine amount, but I'm good with both, so if it's just the placebo effect, that's fine too.

Updated: Ok I’ve tasted the red one again and it’s not as close to Red Bull as I’ve imagined. It’s still tasty but not a replacement for Red Bull if you crave its taste Original: I got it when it was on sale. Didn’t expect it to taste very good but it’s actually decent. The red version reminds me of sugar free Red Bull. 80% there taste wise. Would buy more when it’s on sale again I got the white one too. It’s a clone of white monster. I’m liking the red one more and more. Should’ve bought more when it was on sale. Great job Amazon!
