So I love the taste of energy drinks, but I hate the caffeine since it’s harmful is there a drink that can accomplish my goal or is the taste in the caffeine?
Maybe try drinking a battery?
Is there a drink with taste of energy drink without caffeine?

What are you eating for dinner that the taste of energy drink goes well with it?

Doritos. And a gas station hotdog.

I’m not sure if it’s what you are looking for but I know that some energy companies offer their flavors in the form of hydration drinks.

Maybe grind some Smarties onto a 7UP?

NileRed who makes entertaining chemistry videos making random things, has a video on making a caffeine free Red Bull:

Its pretty much a guide on making it yourself if you’re daring and have the resources. And don’t forget to follow that up his video on how he turned latex gloves into hot sauce .

I’ve seen concentrate with energy drink flavour. I tried it. Tastes like generic energy drink.
Just mix it with water.

Dump a couple of random Kool-aid packs into a pitcher with a few cups of sugar. Then mix it up with the liquid from one car battery.

there’s a variant of golden eagle, it’s stuff you find in balkan stores but my local one only stocked the decaffeinated one once (it’s horrendous)

if you want more sourness maybe try adding some powdered citric acid or malic acid, whatever you can find at a grocery store. It’ll be in the spice aisle.

ty i will try

In my grocery store it’s called Sour Salt (there’s no salt in it) and it’s in the Jewish section near the jars of borscht.
But another way would be to squeeze a slice of lemon into it.

Celsius has a line for caffeine free options

Watch out for the random cans with alcohol though 😉

I am not sure which energy drink you are after, but Guaraná soda tastest similar to some.

I did a quick search online for caffeine-free energy drinks and saw a brand called Sparking Ice mentioned a few times as having variants without caffeine, as well as Monster Unleaded.

Maybe just stir some pixie sticks into a half cup of water

20ml of white vinegar in 500ml of clear grape juice?

Try 4loko gold. Tastes like a energy drink but they were forced to take out the caffeine.
Toes@ani.social 7 hours ago
They used to make an unleaded monster.
But the flavour profile of most cans is salt water taffies if that helps.
toeblast96@sh.itjust.works 2 hours ago
i want monster unleaded to come back so bad💔💔

Add citric acid powder to make it sour. It is in the ingredients of energy drinks as an acidity regulator but also controls sourness. Be aware it is strong, so only add a little at a time, and make sure it is fully mixed before fizzing it.

Yes; energy drinks without caffeine.

Other things give you energy…

That’d really be great. I’d love making red bull cocktails without caffeine in them
SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 7 hours ago
Caffeine, like many other things, is harmful only in excessive amounts. If you drink some just for the flavour it shouldn't be a problem.

Problem is I can’t sleep at night if I drink it at dinner, but I usually eat the good meals at night
blarghly@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
Have you tried drinking water with your dinner instead?
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 hours ago
i mean the whole point of energy drinks is that they have a stupid amount of caffeine
9point6@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
I bet you if it exists, the Scottish soft drink company Barr probably makes it
It’s been absolutely years since I had either, but I reckon Tizer is probably not too far off that red bull taste. I might be completely misremembering though

What does “energy drink” taste like? It’s just lemonade (or soda or pop or soft drink or whatever you Anglophones can’t agree on to call it) and the taste depends on what’s in it.
wetbeardhairs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 hours ago
It’s a distinctively unnatural taste that makes me think of the inside of chemistry glassware.
Tuuktuuk@piefed.ee 7 hours ago
Yes, and the taste of what’s in moat energy drinks is what’s being sought for here.
Lumidaub@feddit.org 7 hours ago
They all taste different though? The thing they have in common is caffeine.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 hours ago
Like cough syrup. I can’t imagine wanting that taste.
artiman@piefed.social 6 hours ago
The sugar-free energy energy drinks do taste like that
artiman@piefed.social 7 hours ago
It’s a unique taste that’s why I am asking
Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
I think the classic flavor profile is sour apple, could you just juice some of those and throw them into car battery acid for the same taste?
ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 6 hours ago
Same. I just want a energy-drink flavoured pop. But mostly I want the old monster assault back so bad…

Be careful chasing the acidity of energy drinks. Full throttle is around 2 pH, not so good for your teeth or stomach health.
