Hark, the herald angels sing: A new Alani Nu Energy flavor is born. This time around, we’ve got our hands on Sherbet Swirl, Alani Nu’s take on the classic frozen orange-raspberry-lime dessert.
Technically speaking, Alani Nu actually made a sherbet flavor a while back—just not in their energy drink format. Alani Nutrition (the full name of the company that makes Alani Nu Energy, if you didn’t know) has offered a Sherbet Swirl pre-workout mix for a few years now.
Alani Nu is no stranger to frozen-treat-based energy flavors; let’s find out if this lives up to the high standards of Pink Slush or the good-enough-ness of Blue Slush.
Where can I find this new Alani Nu flavor for myself?
Alani Nu Sherbet Swirl is available at all fine retailers. If you’re of great wealth and confidence you’ll love the flavor, you can always order a case directly from Alani Nu themselves off their website…once they restock. As of now, cases of Sherbet Swirl are sold out online.
What’s next for Alani Nu?
I mentioned this in my original Alani Nu Sherbet Swirl news article, but I’ve got two ideas of what’s coming next. First off, I might have seen a retailer document that mentions the next Alani Nu Energy SKU will be cotton candy-esque. That said, Alani Nu recently trademarked a kickass flavor name: Cherry Bombsicle. While Alani Nu has at least two cherry flavors, I’m not gonna complain about another one. Maybe it’ll follow the frozen treat trend—Cherry Garcia energy drink, anyone?
The next new flavor is indeed cotton candy. I do agree this might be one of their best flavors but don’t agree that many of the “classics” are that great. Tropsicle was bad, Hawaiian is bad, orange creamscicle is bad, cosmic is bad. It’s the overuse of fake sugar to create flavor. This new flavor tastes like a melted Popsicle which is basically sugar. It’s when they try too hard to be a specific flavor where they fail… Doesn’t matter Pepsi owns them now and will kill them off
I feel like it’s the same as the Celsius Retro vibe?? Could they have just repackaged that for Alani too since they bought them? Has anyone done a side by side?
Company acquisitions and distribution rights take much longer than company integrity rights. This flavor was planned at least 3 months before the sale so the comparison is irrelevant but nothing from Celsius has tasted like any alani product to me
