This summer is all about exciting new flavors. Between Starbucks menu drops, Dutch Bros mocktails and limited-edition releases, this season already has no shortage of mouthwatering flavors to indulge in.
But there’s one brand taking a somewhat expected leap into new territory, a move some fans are wondering what took so long in the first place. And if fruity flavors mixed with all-day energy are your jam, then Liquid Death’s new Sparkling Energy Drink lineup.

“8 new energy drinks and 1 returning,” @snackbetch captioned an Instagram post featuring nine bold flavors from three iconic brands—Liquid Death, Monster and Ghost. “Here’s what’s hitting shelves and when.”
The star of the post, in our opinion, is the upcoming lineup of five Liquid Death Sparkling Energy Drink flavors. Expected to hit retail shelves in January 2026, fans can look forward to Tropical Terror, Scary Strawberry, Orange Horror and Murder Mystery. Each flavor features its own unique can color—just like the rest of the Liquid Death collection—but we’re especially into the horror theme and bold, vibrant designs.
“Fuji Apple Ginger sounds incredible,” one fan wrote about Red Bull’s Winter Edition, set to release in October. However, they added that they’re “really interested in Liquid Death’s energy drinks,” noting they “always love seeing more natural energy.”

As for why Liquid Death chose now to launch an energy drink lineup, one fan asked, “Legit surprised it took Liquid Death this long to do an energy drink,” to which another replied, “Better late than never though, right?!”
Also set to release later this year is Monster Energy Ultra Black +Zero Sugar, a Kroger exclusive dropping in September. Ghost is launching an unconfirmed Blueberry Cream and an all-new Raspberry Cream in August as well. Monster is also releasing Bad Apple in October—a flavor fans are stoked to see finally make its way to the States.
“OH MY GOD THE US FINALLY GETS BAD APPLE,” one fan exclaimed. “When I visit my bf in the UK I go crazy for them. I’m so excited.”
With so many options to choose from, there’s really no excuse to get through your day parched and low on energy. Keep your eyes peeled for your favorite arrivals as we head into the holiday season—their delicious debut is likely to draw plenty of attention, so these flavors might just sell out fast.
