- I tried all the flavors of Celsius I could find and ranked them from worst to best.
- I was disappointed by the sparkling Fuji-apple-pear and raspberry-peach flavors.
- My favorites were the Galaxy Vibe sparkling-strawberry and watermelon flavors.
I’ve always liked having a cup or two of coffee in the morning, but when I started working out before heading to the office, I found myself craving something cold. So, instead of reaching for iced coffee, I turned to energy drinks like Celsius.
The brand, which launched in 2004, struggled to gain traction at first, but is now the third-largest energy-drink brand behind Red Bull and Monster.
Its rise in popularity can largely be attributed to the distribution and investment deal Celsius struck with PepsiCo in 2022. Celsius doubled its revenue the next year.
In order to find out which Celsius flavor was best, I tasted seven kinds and ranked them from my least favorite to my top pick. However, because Celsius energy drinks contain around 200 milligrams of caffeine, I spaced the test out over four days.
Here’s my ranking of the flavors I tried, from worst to best.
