So I love the taste of energy drinks, but I hate the caffeine since it doesn’t let me sleep when i drink it with dinner is there a drink that can accomplish my goal or is the taste in the caffeine?
EDIT: I figured it out so i you add water saffron rock candy and sugar add some sparkling water with lemon flavor then mix I haven’t figured out how to make it as sour tho, but it’s close in my opinion if you get the amounts right, but energy drinks have that artificial flavor so I can never make it truly the same
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)
Try 4loko gold. Tastes like a energy drink but they were forced to take out the caffeine.
I’ve seen concentrate with energy drink flavour. I tried it. Tastes like generic energy drink.
Just mix it with water.
I find that Pommac has remotely similar taste without actually being an energy drink.
:shudder:
That’d really be great. I’d love making red bull cocktails without caffeine in them
You sir are broken.
Carry on.
So many people’s bodies and wallets would benefit from 6 weeks of only drinking water.
The cravings will go away, drinks you used to love will suddenly be too sweet. You will simply feel better and wonder why you were so obsessed to begin with. Then you’ll buy 18 different kinds of tea to drink just 2 regularly. No idea why the last step happens, but it does.
I wish that would happen for me. Maybe the length of time one needs to abstain needs to be longer or something. I try to avoid drinking sweet drinks because of how easily it makes you fat but I don’t enjoy them any less and my favourites never feel too sweet and often I find myself really craving a very sweet drink and it’s only by not having it in the house that I manage to avoid it.
I guess I never really went full cold turkey, I figure I should be able to moderate the habit and only consume it on occasion which I think ends up being something like 1 to 2 glasses every 1.5 weeks on average.
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.
It’s a distinctively unnatural taste that makes me think of the inside of chemistry glassware.
Like cough syrup. I can’t imagine wanting that taste.
Yes, and the taste of what’s in most energy drinks is what’s being sought for here.
They all taste different though? The thing they have in common is caffeine.
Some “fancy” ones do taste different, but the basic ones do share a clearly distinguishable common taste.
It’s a unique taste that’s why I am asking
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?
Decaf coffee?
Yes; energy drinks without caffeine.
Other things give you energy…

Maybe try aspartame instead of sugar?
Celsius has a line for caffeine free options
Watch out for the random cans with alcohol though 😉
Green apple soda
Grapefruit soda (IE Squirt)
Fruit juices (Pineapple is great)
If you mean the very basic “original” flavor that comes from gurana berry I don’t think you’ll find a non-caffeinated alternative, since the berry itself has caffeine.
20ml of white vinegar in 500ml of clear grape juice?
