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?
Maybe try aspartame instead of sugar?

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.
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.
Like cough syrup. I can’t imagine wanting that taste.
The sugar-free energy energy drinks do taste like that
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?
there’s a variant of golden eagle, it’s stuff you find in balkan stores but my local one only stocked the decaffeinated one once (it’s horrendous)
Try 4loko gold. Tastes like a energy drink but they were forced to take out the caffeine.
Decaf coffee?
I’m not sure if it’s what you are looking for but I know that some energy companies offer their flavors in the form of hydration drinks.
i want monster unleaded to come back so bad💔💔
Same. I just want a energy-drink flavoured pop. But mostly I want the old monster assault back so bad…
Why b vitamins
B6 toxicity can affect cardiovascular health, and a single energy drink can have over 6x the recommended daily dosage.
Can’t really go wrong with b vitamins though… being water soluble you’ll piss out whatever your body won’t absorb, which is the reason for that wonderful neon yellow color.
There’s been a rise in cases of B6 toxicity (PDF) resulting in a growing demand for regulation. I also wouldn’t be surprised if most of the cardiac issues related to overconsumption of energy drinks was attributable to B6 as well but I’m too lazy to go searching for papers rn.
Xixo make some like that

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
