So I love the taste of energy drinks, but I hate the caffeine since it’s harmful is there a drink that can accomplish my goal or is the taste in the caffeine?
Celsius has a line for caffeine free options

Watch out for the random cans with alcohol though 😉
They used to make an unleaded monster.
But the flavour profile of most cans is salt water taffies if that helps.
Xixo make some like that
Yes; energy drinks without caffeine.
Other things give you energy…
You sir are broken.
Carry on.
So many people’s bodies and wallets would benefit from 4 weeks of only drinking water.
The cravings will go away, drinks you used to love will suddenly be too sweet. You will simply feel better and wonder why you were so obsessed to begin with. Then you’ll buy 18 different kinds of tea to drink just 2 regularly. No idea why the last step happens, but it does.
I wish that would happen for me. Maybe the length of time one needs to abstain needs to be longer or something. I try to avoid drinking sweet drinks because of how easily it makes you fat but I don’t enjoy them any less and my favourites never feel too sweet and often I find myself really craving a very sweet drink and it’s only by not having it in the house that I manage to avoid it.
I guess I never really went full cold turkey, I figure I should be able to moderate the habit and only consume it on occasion which I think ends up being something like 1 to 2 glasses every 1.5 weeks on average.
Maybe grind some Smarties onto a 7UP?
American or British?
Sure!
That’d really be great. I’d love making red bull cocktails without caffeine in them
What does “energy drink” taste like? It’s just lemonade (or soda or pop or soft drink or whatever you Anglophones can’t agree on to call it) and the taste depends on what’s in it.
Like cough syrup. I can’t imagine wanting that taste.
The sugar-free energy energy drinks do taste like that
It’s a distinctively unnatural taste that makes me think of the inside of chemistry glassware.
Yes, and the taste of what’s in moat energy drinks is what’s being sought for here.
They all taste different though? The thing they have in common is caffeine.
It’s a unique taste that’s why I am asking
I think the classic flavor profile is sour apple, could you just juice some of those and throw them into car battery acid for the same taste?

I bet you if it exists, the Scottish soft drink company Barr probably makes it
It’s been absolutely years since I had either, but I reckon Tizer is probably not too far off that red bull taste. I might be completely misremembering though
