MONSTER ENERGY HYDRO PURPLE PASSION
Monster Energy's sports drink series, Hydro, with Purple Passion flavor. The 750ml large size is a bit too much for one person, making it a challenging quantity to drink in one go.

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.

Smooth Grape Flavor

MONSTER ENERGY ULTRA VIOLET has a similar cloudy purple color. I thought it would just be another grape-flavored, non-carbonated sports drink, but...

When I took a sip, a smooth grape flavor spread in my mouth. Wait, is this good!?

I was expecting a bland, sports drink-like taste, but I was surprised to find it quite delicious. The grape flavor is prominent, and the fragrance lingers, providing a high level of satisfaction. Despite being non-carbonated and lacking juice, it doesn’t feel lacking at all. In fact, it’s almost too tasty for a sports drink.

Hydro is a sports-oriented series, but with this flavor and fragrance, it could easily be enjoyed outside of athletic activities, almost like a value-sized bottle you can enjoy anytime.

MONSTER ENERGY HYDRO PURPLE PASSION's Energy Ingredients

MONSTER ENERGY HYDRO PURPLE PASSION
Contains 188mg of caffeine and taurine. For a 750ml size, the caffeine content is relatively low, with a simple ingredient profile. The carbohydrate content is also fairly moderate, making it low-calorie. It seems like a good option for staying hydrated during exercise.

While 750ml may feel like a lot for hydration during exercise, the delicious grape flavor makes it worthwhile. Since it’s non-carbonated, it’s easy to drink a lot at once, so the portion size might actually be perfect.

MONSTER ENERGY HYDRO PURPLE PASSION's Design

The large bottle simply features the Hydro series logo, with no special design details.

Once finished, it just becomes a regular transparent bottle, which is a bit of a disappointment... The design is focused solely on the label, so after drinking it, I wish it retained some identity as HYDRO PURPLE PASSION. I think more attention to design after consumption would have been nice.
