TIGER CACTUS DRIFT

Posted on March 15, 2024 | Last updated January 29, 2025

TIGER CACTUS DRIFT
Released in March 2021, this is the TIGER CACTUS DRIFT, featuring a cactus flavor.

Originally released as a limited-edition product in collaboration with the game "NFS Heat" in 2020, the product was rebranded and became a regular offering as the TIGER CACTUS DRIFT, which I will be reviewing today.

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 TIGER CACTUS DRIFT

Upon opening the can, a faint, grassy scent reminiscent of cactus wafts up. The distinct greenish aroma of melon is subtle, with the stronger fragrance being that of apple. The color is a light shade, reflecting the soft hue of cactus flesh. Let's take a sip and see how it tastes.
Flavor of TIGER CACTUS DRIFT
When you take a sip, it has a refreshing texture, with a hint of tartness that accentuates the apple flavor. As you drink, the refreshing cactus melon aroma fades away, creating a cactus apple flavor.

The most obvious way to describe it is as a "cactus apple" flavor.

Although cactus is meant to be the main flavor, the sweetness of the apple flesh is somewhat toned down to ensure it doesn’t overpower the cactus essence, showing care in the balance.

The aftertaste leaves only a slight tanginess. Enjoy the clean and refreshing cactus aroma with its subtle green notes.

Comparing TIGER CACTUS DRIFT with TIGER CACTUS ATTACK

TIGER series has a regular cactus-flavored drink called "TIGER CACTUS ATTACK." I’d like to compare it with the flavor differences of the TIGER CACTUS DRIFT today.

Flavor of TIGER CACTUS DRIFT
When poured into a glass, the color is similar, both a shade of green, but TIGER CACTUS ATTACK gives off a more artificial green impression. Personally, I prefer the lime green of TIGER CACTUS DRIFT. Now, let's take a sip.

TIGER CACTUS ATTACK has a slightly milder grassy note. The taste is a mild apple flavor with less sweetness and acidity, but there’s a grassy scent combined with a detergent-like aroma, which gives a sense of unease. However, the taste is clean and smooth, and it’s easier to drink than TIGER CACTUS DRIFT.

While both have the same flavor base, the taste difference is clear when compared side by side. If you prefer a smoother, lighter drink, go for TIGER CACTUS ATTACK. If you want a juicy, fruity flavor with a richer body, TIGER CACTUS DRIFT is the better choice. I personally prefer TIGER CACTUS DRIFT.

By the way, TIGER CACTUS ATTACK, which is smoother, has full sugar, whereas TIGER CACTUS DRIFT, with its juicy flavor, uses half-sugar and contains 20% fruit juice. Logically, you might expect the full-sugar version to have a stronger flavor, but it's interesting that this is not the case here.

Energy Ingredients of TIGER CACTUS DRIFT

Energy Ingredients of TIGER CACTUS DRIFT
Contains 160mg of caffeine. There are no other energy ingredients. The drink includes 20% apple juice.

The sugar content is half the usual amount, making it a half-sugar type, with only 100 kcal. It's great to enjoy this refreshing and flavorful drink while keeping the calorie count low.

Design of TIGER CACTUS DRIFT

Design of TIGER CACTUS DRIFT
The can features a color inspired by the sky, and the orange TIGER logo seems to reflect the sunset over the desert. The exquisite sky color approaching evening creates a perfect mood.

Design of TIGER CACTUS DRIFT
The design depicts a desert and a gas station, evoking a cinematic desert scene. The sign includes a simple energy poem.

Starting as a limited edition in 2020, it became a regular product in 2021 and remained on shelves until 2024. In 2024, the TIGER series underwent a complete redesign to comply with Poland’s caffeine content regulations. Unfortunately, TIGER CACTUS DRIFT was not part of the redesign and was discontinued.
