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 ROCKSTAR PURE ZERO PUNCHED

It has a light pink color. The taste is also in line with this color, featuring a subtle acerola and cherry-like flavor.

Unlike sugar-laden fruit punch flavors, the sugar-free Pure Zero is light and refreshing. If you're expecting the typical rich fruit punch flavor, you might find it a bit different, but there is no unpleasant aftertaste from artificial sweeteners, and it is actually quite delicious.

The taste is not bland; you can enjoy the sweetness of acerola and cherry, with a moderate sourness. The aftertaste is refreshing, and the sensation of it smoothly soaking into your body is quite addictive. However, with 240mg of caffeine, be cautious not to drink too much. Personally, it's a flavor I would want to quickly drink when I'm thirsty during the peak of summer, but after one can, it might be better to avoid other energy drinks.

Energy Ingredients of ROCKSTAR PURE ZERO PUNCHED

It contains 240mg of caffeine, 2000mg of taurine, 100mg of glucuronolactone, ginseng, milk thistle, guarana, and other ingredients. With 240mg of caffeine, it's quite a high dose and not something you can casually drink.

The surface of the can is textured with a rough finish, similar to the Monster Energy Ultra series. This could be because it's a competing zero-calorie, sugar-free product. As a consumer, it's easy to recognize that the design clearly reflects the zero-zero concept.

The Pure Zero series has undergone multiple design changes since its release. Due to its long history, every time I went to the U.S., I got to enjoy a new design for the Zero Zero Punch.

However, with 240mg of caffeine, it might be a good idea to avoid other energy drinks after drinking this one. Especially if you're someone who drinks energy drinks daily. Still, the crisp and refreshing fruit flavor makes it perfect for a sunny day.

The Pure Zero series used to be "zero-calorie" and "zero-sugar," but since 2020, it can no longer be labeled as zero-calorie, and it now contains 10kcal.

With the change in calorie labeling, the design has also been updated.

The taste itself hasn't changed, and it still tastes great. It's impressive how they've managed to create this flavor entirely from artificial sweeteners, without the usual zero-calorie taste.
