This Classic Monster Juice Flavor Is Going Extinct

Folks, I thought we’d covered the extent of 2026’s Monster Energy Massacre a few weeks ago, but the ever-caffeinated grim reaper came back around for one last victim. This might be the oldest Monster Energy drink I’ve ever seen get discontinued; this flavor has roots all the way back to 2005. Let’s get into the juicy details of this energy casualty.

So which Monster Energy flavor is getting discontinued?

Per my sources, Monster Juice Khaotic is going the way of the dodo. According to Monster’s website, this energy drink has “a tropical orange twist made with real juice”. While it is a true shame to lose any drink made with real juice, orange energy drink superfans will have to make do with the dozens of other orange-citrus drinks on shelves (including Monster’s remaining Orange Dreamsicle and Ultra Sunrise flavors).

Is Monster Juice Khaotic actually over twenty years old?

Well, yes and no. This particular version of Khaotic first hit shelves back in 2020, but the concept of “Monster Energy with orange juice” dates back to the debut of Monster KHAOS in 2005. Monster KHAOS was basically the prototype for the entire Monster Juice line, later getting a formula update/rebrand to better fit the Monster Juice concept we know today. The flavor palette has wavered with the addition and removal of other citrus fruits over the years, but the core “orange juice” concept has stuck around for two decades now. Alas, all good things must come to an end.

What’s replacing Monster Juice Khaotic?

As we’ve discussed, most discontinuations are just one half of the great equivalent exchange. Gas station fridges are not infinitely expanding (even if it feels like it, with all the new brands popping up out of nowhere); lower-performing flavors have to go away for other flavors to be sold. Per my calendar, it looks like Khaotic is going to the great fridge in the sky to make room for… drumroll, please… Monster Juice Voodoo Grape. I’ve actually got an early sample can of Voodoo Grape on the hallowed To Be Reviewed Shelf as we speak; look out for my review later this week!
