Our friends at Red Bull just sent over samples of the new Red Bull Summer Edition 2025 (plus a cute towel-poncho-pullover that I have no idea how to style). We’ve been excited to try these since we covered the international reveal earlier this year. Let’s crack them open and find out whether Red Bull White Peach will be the flavor of the summer.
Pros: This compliment comes from a few of my fellow taste testers who don’t like energy drinks, so take this as rarified praise: This new Summer Red Bull doesn’t taste like an energy drinkat all. This tastes so much like a ripe peach, it might as well be peach juice. I could give this Red Bull Summer Edition to my grandma and she wouldn’t hesitate to down the can (nor would she get to sleep until the next day, which I learned the last time I had her sample an energy drink). This is easily one of my all-time favorite Red Bull flavors—right below Winter Edition 2024, which hopefullyreturns to shelves later this year.
Cons: It was a surprise when I poured this completely clear drink into sampling cups. I guess Red Bull is working on that food dye phaseout early.

New Summer Red Bull!
Red Bull Sugarfree Summer Edition 2025: White Peach
Pros: Unlike the regular version, the sugar-free version of this year’s Red Bull Summer Edition definitely tastes like a peach energy drink—not that that’s a bad thing. One of my test subjects pointed out that this version hides the taste of taurine better, but at the expense of tasting more like artificial peach and artificial sweeteners. If you’re used to energy drinks (hopefully not as much as me), this won’t stick out to you in the slightest.
Cons: This has been a banner year for zero-sugar peach energy drinks; GHOST’s Peaches Energy and C4’s Jolly Rancher Peach Energy have both elevated the concept higher than every previous attempt by any company. Unfortunately, Red Bull isn’t topping any charts with this one.

Where can I find the new Summer Edition Red Bull for myself?
Red Bull Summer Edition 2025 is available everywhere fine Red Bull drinks are sold—so, basically everywhere. This is the first new Red Bull flavor in a long time that I found for the first time somewhere besides Walmart. Congrats to Speedway (my local subsidiary of 7-Eleven) for winning that race.
Why should I fall in love with this Summer Red Bull if they’re just going to take it away?
Back in January, I collaborated with SnachWithZach to reveal that Red Bull might phase out their long-standing Peach Edition in favor of a new peach flavor. While that news still isn’t 100% confirmed, I did notice that Red Bull took Peach Edition off their website ahead of the Summer Edition launch. No promises, but I have a strong feeling we’ll see Red Bull White Peach return permanently in 2026.
