A few weeks ago, I wrote about some exciting releases coming in the next few months from Monster Energy. That article was written based on a 2026 release calendar I received from a reliable source within the Monster machine. Approximately eight seconds after the article was published, I was sent another believable Monster Energy 2026 calendar with even more exciting releases. Darn. How awful. I’ll be covering this news drink-by-drink, going over all the details we have on the flavors and release date for all four of the new Monster drinks revealed by this new calendar.
Important asterisk to this news: There is a chance some of these release plans may change between now and the planned release date. That said, Monster Energy is pretty reliable—once these drinks hit their internal calendars, they don’t change too often.
Monster Lando Norris Zero Sugar Energy
First on the list is a “new-ish” Monster flavor: Lando Norris Zero Sugar. For the uninitiated, Lando Norris is a multi-time race-winning driver for McLaren’s F1 team. Back in January, Monster Energy launched this zero-sugar melon yuzu energy drink across the U.K. with no immediate plans to bring it to the States. The marketing team must have determined F1 has legs (wheels?) here in America; we’ll see Lando Norris Zero Sugar hit U.S. shelves in February.
Monster Ultra Punk Punch Energy
In March, we’ll see another new Monster Ultra flavor hit shelves (following 2025’s Ultra Wild Passion, which hits shelves very soon). Monster Ultra Punk Punch will be another entry into the popular zero-sugar Monster Ultra line. Based on the name, we can assume this flavor will be some kind of fruit punch with a little “punky” zip. Speaking for myself, this is my most anticipated 2026 Monster Energy release.
Monster Ultra Red, White, and Blue Razz Energy
In May 2026, we’ll see a rare limited-time-only flavor from Monster Energy. (If you weren’t aware, the brand doesn’t really do those. Monster eschews the traditional LTO scheme that other energy drink brands embrace.) This stars-and-stripes can contains a drink that, at minimum, will taste like blue raspberry. Will this be similar to the “red flavor, blue flavor, and white flavor” patriotic Mountain Dews of old? Only time will tell.
Monster Juice TBD
While we only have the bare minimum details on this drink right now, it’s right next to Ultra Red, White, and Blue Razz in the patriotic “May-July LTO” box on the calendar. I’m not sure what fruit flavors will scream patriotism in juice format, but we’ll all find out next year.
I’ll try the Lando, Khaotic is my favorite. looking forward to the Voodoo Grape. Wish they’d bring back the Purple Passion Energy Water. Tasted like Grape Kool-Aid from my childhood. Or maybe make it an Import flavor? I like the Import as well over the original.
The red monster assault the original is the monster I wish they’d bring back.
The new monster juice comming out in 2026 supposed to be February is voodoo grape that u have a picture of. It’s based of New Orleans. I know this from a monster representative!
Lando Norris tastes awful, way too much mandarin.
