CELSIUS SPARKLING GRAPE RUSH

Posted on October 10, 2022 | Last updated February 2, 2025

CELSIUS, a popular American health-focused and fat-burning lifestyle energy drink brand, brings you the CELSIUS SPARKLING GRAPE RUSH with a grape flavor.

The flavor name might sound a bit more energy drink-like than typical CELSIUS offerings, but the flavor itself remains firmly in the natural category. As a result, whether this is something energy drink fans will want to repeatedly buy could be a matter of personal preference.

In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 7,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.

Flavor of CELSIUS SPARKLING GRAPE RUSH

When opened, it gives off more of a wine-like aroma than a grape juice one. The color also has a natural feel to it.

Upon tasting, it follows the same scent and color impression, with a calm flavor of sourness and astringency, reminiscent of freshly squeezed grape juice. Without the sweetness of sugar or the juicy taste of fruit pulp, it’s a disappointment for those expecting an energy drink-style grape flavor. Σ(´∀｀；)

Since the CELSIUS series tends to feature these natural-flavored types, this one is an average example of that flavor profile. Considering it’s zero sugar, the grape-specific bitterness lingers, helping to maintain the drink's satisfying qualities, so it’s actually pretty well done. Personally, I like it.

Energy Ingredients of CELSIUS SPARKLING GRAPE RUSH

Energy Ingredients of CELSIUS SPARKLING GRAPE RUSH
Contains 200mg of caffeine, taurine, guarana, glucuronolactone, ginger, and green tea.

At 200mg of caffeine in a 355ml can, it’s a bit on the high side, so be cautious not to overconsume.

Also, CELSIUS uses an energy ingredient composition called MetaPlus, which optimizes these ingredients to enhance fat-burning efficiency. However, there’s no clear indication of how effectively CELSIUS helps with fat burning, so it’s not clear from the product or the official website.

The can has a white base with a stylish design, featuring a black top and black band at the bottom for contrast.

The illustration of grapes, along with the CELSIUS logo and the band extending to the edge, uses a purple color to match the flavor. This color varies for each flavor.

The back of the can is packed with CELSIUS's ingredients and concept, giving it more of a health-focused, fat-burning drink vibe rather than an energy drink feel. It’s a bit surprising that it’s so popular, given how heavily it leans into the concept.
