Coca Cola ENERGY ZERO SUGAR CHERRY
Review of the zero-sugar version of Coca Cola Energy Cherry, from the USA.

The Coca-Cola Energy series was released in the US before Europe and Asia, but to make up for the delay, Coca Cola Energy Cherry and this zero-sugar version were launched ahead of other countries. The full-sugar cherry version was exquisite, but how does the zero-sugar version compare?!

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.

Weakened Cherry Flavor, Smooth Cherry Coke with Mild Sweetness

When you take a sip, the smooth cola sweetness is lightly complemented by a faint cherry flavor, creating a Cherry Coke with weak punch. Though it’s sugar-free, I was expecting a bolder taste, but the delicate flavor without the unpleasant artificial sweeteners is impressive. However, the lack of drinkability and the near absence of Cherry Coke’s deliciousness is disappointing. Honestly, this flavor seems a bit underwhelming compared to the superb full-sugar Coca Cola Energy Cherry.

Nonetheless, it’s a standout zero-sugar version with a balanced sweetness and no odd artificial aftertaste, making it hard to evaluate.

The pink and gray combination evokes a gentle vibe, reflecting the soft Cherry Coke flavor. While it’s not typically "energy drink" in style, it may become more familiar as more flavors are released, with colorful displays in stores. There were no additional flavors in 2020, so I’m a bit worried about that… (^_^;)
