I picked up this Monster Ultra Vice Guava Energy Drink from Albertsons for a sale price of 2 for $5. It has zero sugar and I love the can that it comes in. Just like most Monsters it comes in a nice artwork of designs on the can. This one has Flamingos everywhere, cars and buildings which feels like you are at the ocean. In a way, it reminds me of Grand Theft Auto Vice City that I used to play like 20 years ago. The can has a tan color with pink top along with black Monster can opener tip with silver M on it.

Monster Ultra Vice Guava

Sure, it’s called Guava, but it doesn’t taste like one. As you start drinking, you notice the strawberries take the lead in flavors. It has a tropical fruit punch taste with strawberries dominating and has a tiny touch of guava to it. Absolutely amazing on the taste and feels like you are right there by the sea ocean watching the flamingos fly in the sunny sky.

On the Can it says:

“Miami has it all, mind-blowing Latin energy, premier racing from NASCAR to F1, and world class beaches with the hottest clubs right on the sand. Whether you’re an over-the-top partier or an undercover crime fighter in a pasted suit, T-shirt, and loafers – you gotta stay energized! From South Beach to Calle Ocho, looking good and feeling good is what it’s all about. With zero sugar to weigh you down, the fresh taste of perfectly ripened guava, and our world-famous Monster Energy Blend, Ultra Vice Guava has you covered. Unleash the Ultra Beast!” – Monster

Could be Improved

Everything is almost perfect, except for I think the ingredients could be improved. Instead of using sweeteners like Erythritol, Sucralose and Acesulfame Potassium. Natural sweeteners like monk fruit or stevia leaf extract could be used. It has Red 40 which I would prefer natural colors. Also, loaded with preservatives which kind of bother me.

The can has 150mg of caffeine which is on the safe side compared to alternatives. However, it doesn’t really say what source is the actual caffeine from. Normally, I recommend keeping the caffeine 160mg or less. Just perfect on the caffeine and the drink is very tropical. On the other hand, it would feel more tropical if everything was natural.

French Montana

On Instagram, Monster Shared this beverage with French Montan. So, they are partnering with French Montana for this good tasting energy drink. If you haven’t tried it yet, I think you will love the tropical flavors.

Overall, the drink is only 10 calories and is in a 16 Fl Oz can size, so you can enjoy with food too.
