ROCKSTAR SILVER ICE (Australia, New Zealand)
Released in 2022 in Australia and New Zealand, the unique ROCKSTAR SILVER ICE has since been discontinued from stores by 2024.
The product name is the same as the original American version, "SILVER ICE," but since the "PURE ZERO" series does not exist in Oceania, it was marketed simply as "ROCKSTAR SILVER ICE" without a series name.
Not only does the packaging feature Oceania-specific customization, but the taste of the drink itself is also different from the original American and Canadian versions, making this an intriguing product.

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 SILVER ICE (Australia, New Zealand)
When opened, a citrus fruit-like aroma bursts out. Wait, did Silver Ice always smell like this!? The liquid inside is still cloudy white, so no change there...
When I take a sip, the flavor is a citrusy, bitter lime taste, similar to a sugar-free sports drink like Pocari Sweat. There's no unpleasant taste of artificial sweeteners, and the drink is surprisingly refreshing despite being sugar-free.
The refreshing, slightly bitter flavor of citrus fruits like lime stands out strongly, creating a clear distinction from the sweeter, more refreshing Silver Ice found in the American version, which has a lychee-like taste.
I didn’t expect such a different flavor despite the same brand and product name.
The American version is sweet and refreshing, while the Oceania version has a tangy and slightly astringent citrus lime flavor. The base flavor of both seems similar, but there are noticeable differences in the sweetness and flavoring.
This version, with its unique flavor and design, is a true reflection of Oceania's distinct style.
Energy Ingredients of ROCKSTAR SILVER ICE (Australia, New Zealand)
Contains 160mg of caffeine, 2000mg of taurine, 50mg of ginseng, and 50mg of guarana.
Design of ROCKSTAR SILVER ICE (Australia, New Zealand)
The design features a light blue base color paired with a mirror-finish silver big star, creating a refreshing, cool look that matches the Silver Ice concept.
When compared side-by-side with the original American version, it's clear that the Pure Zero design has been mostly carried over. The light blue color of the Oceania version gives off a glacier-like vibe.
Since the flavor of the North American Silver Ice differs from this version, the product name might have been better as something like "Glacier Ice."
Oceania’s unique product lines are certainly interesting. Rockstar, in particular, often blends the North American and European styles for its Oceania-specific products, so it's definitely a place for Rockstar fans to visit every year.
