Organic energy drinks? Yep, that’s right – they’re a thing, people? You might not know it, but Red Bull has its very own line of organic drinks, appropriately titled The ORGANICS, which it states are “bio-certified soft drinks by Red Bull made with carefully selected ingredients from 100% natural sources.” The line taps into a growing desire for natural energy drinks that aren’t loaded up with artificial flavors or sweeteners, and which instead keep it a little simpler.

Now, Red Bull’s expanding its ORGANICS range, with a new flavor: Minty Blackberry. To be honest, it sounds pretty delish. Here’s what we know.
Red Bull ORGANICS Minty Blackberry
Red Bull’s new organic energy drink starts with a blackberry base flavor, which is then infused with a twist of mint for a refreshing finish. Like the rest of its ORGANICS range, it will come in both can and glass bottle form, with a 330 milliliter can and a 250 milliliter bottle.
As for the nutrition of ORGANICS Minty Blackberry, it looks as though there will be 115 calories per can and 87 calories per bottle. As it’s organic (duh), there likely won’t be any sugar-free options laden with artificial sweeteners any time soon.
Notably, Red Bull’s ORGANICS line isn’t focused on energy as much as it is natural flavor: Several of its existing options are totally caffeine-free, whereas its Simply Cola and Viva Mate flavors have around 32 milligrams of caffeine each. Classic Red Bull, meanwhile, has more than double the amount of caffeine in it. There’s no info just yet on whether Minty Blackberry will have caffeine or not, but we’d imagine that it might skip it.
Red Bull The ORGANICS: A New Approach
When it was first released in 2018, Red Bull’s organic line felt like a little bit of a softening of its overall image. The idea behind it was to join the growing desires for organic products and soft drinks, while also offering its customers something different. We have to say, though, it hasn’t madethat much of a splash in the almost-10 years that it’s been around, and despite having a load of different flavors to choose from, a lot of people don’t even know that it exists.
Despite this, this Minty Blackberry drink is something that we definitely want to try; it sounds perfect for summer. It’s not on its website just yet, but once it drops and we can get our hands on it for a taste-test, we’ll let ya know.
