Coca-Cola Energy Zero Sugar Drink Review

Coca-Cola Energy Zero Sugar looks exactly how one imagines. Using the Coke Zero Sugar color scheme and the Coke Energy design, the results are a familiar appearance that is sure to confuse some casual cola consumers. Though its caffeinated nature is proudly proclaimed, I cannot imagine some more mature fans of the soft drink having no idea what they are holding, and how it is any different; perhaps each can should come with a pair of reading glasses, a pamphlet and a free gift.

The meat-and-potatoes here is the cola taste, and it hits all the notes you would expect being graced by diet sugars and the influential crimson logo. Cinnamon, vanilla, and a puzzled depiction of some unknown citrus are overwhelmed by a spiked effervescence, one that floods your mouth with all the bubbles they could cram into the twelve ounce can. Ace-k and sucralose, a most common synthetic sweetener system, give sips a soda-profile that help gulps taste familiar; closing my eyes and imbibing almost provides the illusion I am quaffing a can of plain ol' Coke Zero. Yet I know I am not. There is a stronger aftertaste of what people call "functional" flavor, a loose term describing how the energy supplements sit on the tongue. Guarana is the primary funky little addition to the experience, which is instantly recognizable to energy drink fans, but gives the cola profile a slightly sullied suggestion; its earthy bite distracting from the otherwise commercially static potation. I am all about taking chances, but here, things here feel unintentionally nonplussed.

Each can contains B vitamins, guarana, and caffeine (just 114 milligrams). The buzz is the most disappointing thing here, lasting just over an hour and a half- not terrific considering the roughly two buck price point can get you far more potent potables. To end, Coca-Cola Energy Zero Sugar could have been so much more; right now however, it is just "not bad."
