Today, I have details on five Monster Energy drinks hitting shelves later this year. We’ll be going over the drinks individually; there’s truly something for everyone in this list.
Where did this news come from?
You would be surprised by how many people think I’m going to publicly name the brave souls who risk their jobs just to tell little old me about upcoming drink releases. Check my track record; how often do I get this kind of thing wrong? (Okay, the answer is like 5% of the time but…c’mon.) Let’s just get into these new Monsters.
Monster Ultra Black Energy
Chronologically, this is the first release we need to cover and it’s the least “new.” Monster Ultra Black Energy has been a mainstay in the Monster lineup for almost two decades; that said, in recent years, this black cherry energy drink has only been available online through outlets like Amazon. This September, Monster Ultra Black Energy will return to retail exclusively at the Kroger family of stores for a limited time.
Monster Orange Dreamsicle & Electrical Blue Energy
I don’t have flavor profiles on these two releases; that said, I’m pretty sure I know what the first flavor is going to taste like. For one, there’s already an Orange Dreamsicle Monster Energy flavor on shelves in their “Reserve” line. I haven’t gotten a confident answer whether this release will replace that flavor, but I wouldn’t be surprised.
The more interesting flavor here is, of course, “Electrical Blue.” Blue Raspberry? Blueberry? Blue Lemonade!? Whatever this flavor ends up being, I’m looking forward to it. Both of these flavors will be launching in early October and available indefinitely.
Monster Juice Bad Apple
The Bad Apple Monster Juice flavor has been sold in the U.K. for a little while now, but we’ll be trying this crisp red apple Monster drink for the first time this October. And this one will be a permanent addition to the Juice lineup.
Monster Ultra Wild Passion Energy
Finally, we’ve got a new addition to the zero-sugar Ultra lineup. “Wild Passion” definitely has me assuming this will be a passion fruit-flavored drink, but there’s always a chance they surprise us with something else. (Remember when they released Ultra Blue Hawaiian and it was blue raspberry?) Again, this will be a permanent release launching in early October. October will be a big month for my Monster Energy reviews, that’s for sure.

Bad apple is good and passion fruit is too
The new orange creamsicle is not the one pictured in the beginning of this article, the new can is completely black with “wickedly creamy” written around the front part of the rim. I will be trying it Friday unless I can find it before then. The bad apple is ok but not as good as I was hoping it would be & I’m still looking for the other 3. The orange new one is also not the Reserve one that’s been out for a while. I would post a pic of the can but it doesn’t give me that option on here unfortunately. A coworker had 1 yesterday & said it was pretty good & tastes like the ice cream. I hope so bc the one that’s been out is too orange-y & not creamy enough to be considered creamsicle IMO. But love this article & thanks for keeping us informed!
Ultra Blue is Blue Raspberry
And Ultra Blue Hawaiian is Pineapple.
I love Monster Drinks
Why is the ultra black only at Kroger for a limited time? This is the 4th time I’ve had a favorite flavor, then it disappears. Its so disappointing.
Orange dresmsicle is in Oklahoma and has been for years now
After reading this article and trying to order a case of reserve orange dreamsicle earlier tonight and its nearly double the price it was on June 22 (now July 3)… its over $50 for a 15 pack when I paid $28 and change June 22. Diabolical.
Oh dude, the Bad Apple flavour is complete trash! Seriously, the worst ME I’ve ever tasted!
ultra blue hawaiian is different from ultra blue! you can only get ultra blue in the red white and blue back from Sam’s Club and the formula is different than it used to be. it was my absolute favorite about 5 years ago
I don’t get blue raspberry at all from the Ultra Hawaiian, but I prob can’t put a finger on what the flavor IS exactly lol. I’m a fan of the black cherry and try to grab one whenever I see it
its definetly those blue gummy sharks
Are all of these full sugar only?
There’s nothing new about these flavors they came out either months ago or years ago this article is false
No there’s 1 that’s from the zero sugar ultra line.
Reserve is being replaced with what is called, “Black Label”. It is actually called “Electric Blue” and it will be Monster’s first Blueberry flavor drink. Orange Dreamsicle is going to be the same as the reserve, just different label
We already have the Orange Dreamsicle flavor in Canada, been out here for a while actually (more then a year) lol
