“Spoiler alert, it tastes exactly like Cherry Coke. But with 3x the caffeine.”
Jared’s full review
Introduction
After trying Coca-Cola Energy, I’m 99% sure I know exactly what Coca-Cola Energy Cherry is going to taste like. Cherry Coke. Which will be awesome for me since I love Cherry Coke.
Appearance
It’s got a nice pink-purple scheme that blends with the black.
Taste
Spoiler alert, I’m right. It’s Cherry Coke. Literally no difference in taste. For those who haven’t had Cherry Coke, it’s Coca-Cola with a artificial cherry flavor that comes through relatively strong. If you haven’t had Coca-Cola, more power to you bro. I got nothin’.
Kick
114mg caffeine, 39g of sugar. Sipped it slowly and felt a small energy boost towards the end. Not going to blow you away if you’re used to typical energy drinks.
Conclusion
A tad more sad now that Coca-Cola is discontinuing their Energy line, after trying both the original and cherry flavors. There’s something to be said about both tasting exactly like their non-energy predecessors while having 3x the caffeine content. However, I get that a lot consumers want something different than their grandma’s cola when spending 2-3 dollars on an energy drink.
