This is the "mixxed up light" from the private-brand energy drink series "mixxed up," sold at the German supermarket chain Lidl.

Although it is a light version of the original product, it is not a low-sugar version with sweetness brought closer to the original. Instead, it is a low-sugar energy drink with a classic European flavor, where the sweetness is kept to a minimum.

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 mixxed up light

The drink has a relatively bright, transparent champagne gold color, and a familiar, classic flavor aroma spreads.

Flavor of mixxed up light

When you take a sip, the sweetness of the classic flavor is removed, leaving a tangy and refreshing taste. It expresses a less sweet version of the mixxed up classic, with the sweetness characteristic of Europe reduced and the acidity emphasized.

Rather than recreating sweetness with artificial sweeteners, it follows the European trend of a sugar-free style, where the sweetness is simply removed. This drink is ideal for those who want to enjoy a low-calorie, low-sugar beverage with a mild taste.

Both the taste and aroma have more crispness compared to the full-sugar version or the original, making it easier to drink.

Energy Ingredients of mixxed up light

Contains 75mg of caffeine and 1000mg of taurine. The energy ingredients are standard. The product is called "light" likely because it contains a small amount of calories. Although the sugar content is almost zero, it is labeled as having 10kcal.

Design of mixxed up light

The white and red combination does not give the impression of a light version of the black and green mixxed up classic (which would typically look good in a white and green combination), so it seems that mixxed up light is an independent product in its own right.
