Death to Drowsy.
Published Nov. 24 2025, 4:13 p.m. ET
Liquid Death has officially entered its caffeinated era.
The canned water brand known for "murdering your thirst" has launched a brand new sparkling energy line with four flavors and 100mg of caffeine each.
Liquid Deagth collaborated with longevity specialist Dr. Darshan Shah on the better-for-you energy line that promises to bring “death to drowsy."
So, how does it compare to other energy drinks such as Celsius or Red Bull? Keep reading to find out.
We Tried Liquid Death’s New Sparkling Energy Drinks
Available December 3 on Amazon, the new line promises an “unextreme” energy boost.
Think the pep of a morning coffee, but with four bold flavors that align with the brand's edgy (but better for you) mission.
The new sparkling energy flavors include:
- Murder Mystery: cherry, spice, vanilla
- Scary Strawberry: strawberry with a hint of lime
- Tropical Terror: pineapple and coconut
- Orange Horror: orange with a hint of cream
Again, with just 100mg of caffeine, it does a solid job of waking you up, without the jitters and increased heart rate of other brands.
However, when it comes to taste, the drinks are crisp, lightly sweet, and not aggressively carbonated. Our favorite flavor was a tie between Orange Horror and Tropical Terror. Orange Horror tastes like orange soda meets creamsicle, without being overly sweet, while Tropical Terror puts us in full vacation mode thanks to the pineapple-forward notes.
Scary Strawberry was the sweetest flavor in the bunch, so if you prefer your energy drinks to have more of a soda taste, this is the flavor for you. Murder Mystery is the brand's cherry flavor, and while we wouldn't compare it to cough syrup, we would only recommend it if you love cherry-flavored drinks.
Overall, Liquid Death’s Sparkling Energy drinks deliver exactly what they promise: bold flavors, fun branding, and a respectable caffeine bump without the crash.
They definitely stand out from the typical lineup of energy drinks.
