Tried the New Red Bull Flavor – Here is What You Need to Know

I have always been a Red Bull fan, but honestly, some of their new flavors over the past few years have not really excited me except last year’s Waldbeere. Some tasted too sweet, and some felt like something I would not finish even halfway.

But when I heard about the new Red Bull flavor, I had to try it. Because last year’s Waldbeere (Wild Berry) was an exception from previous years. SO, I had to try this one too. I was curious to see if this one could match it or even beat it. I finally gave it a shot, and here is everything you need to know before you grab a can.

What Is the New Red Bull Flavor?

This summer, I picked up the new flavor of Red Bull called Grapefruit & Blossom. I did not expect much at first, but it was better than my expectations. The moment I opened the can, I could smell a strong fruity scent that reminded me of real citrus. It has a light pink color and has a floral twist in taste that is different from the usual ones.

The flavor is smooth, not too sweet, and has a gentle kick of grapefruit. I felt it was better balanced than many past editions. If you like soft citrus drinks with a calm aftertaste, you might enjoy this one too.

When Did It Launch and Where Can You Buy It?

The new Red Bull flavor 2025, Grapefruit & Blossom, was launched on March 3, 2025, as part of the Spring Edition. It is only available for a limited time, so I did not wait too long to try it.

You can find it at most big stores and supermarkets. I saw it in both single cans and small multi-packs. Some gas stations and online stores also have it. Since it is not a permanent flavor, I suggest grabbing a can soon before it disappears from the shelves.

How Much Does It Cost?

I bought the new flavor of Red Bull for $2.69 per can. That is about the same as most other Red Bull editions. Some stores might sell it for a few cents more, but the price is close to regular 8.4 oz cans.

Compared to special ones like the Summer or Winter editions, this one does not feel overpriced. It is fair for a limited-time drink with a unique taste like Grapefruit & Blossom.

Taste Test: My Honest Review 

a) First Impressions

When I opened the can of the new flavor Red Bull, I noticed a fresh citrus smell right away. The drink looked light pink and almost like a soft summer drink. I took my first sip and was glad to find the grapefruit flavor was not too sour. It had just enough sharpness to feel refreshing but not too much to feel bitter.

b) Floral Finish

After the citrus, I could taste something soft and floral. It was not strong, just a smooth aftertaste that made the drink feel a bit fancy. I do not usually like floral drinks, but this one felt nicely balanced.

c) Sweetness and Fizz

One thing I really liked was the low-sugar feel. It did not taste heavy or sticky. The fizz level was just right, but not too sharp and not flat either. It felt smooth and clean, which made me want to keep sipping.

d) Compared to Waldbeere

Last year’s Waldbeere is still one of my favorites, and I drink it often. But this new one is lighter and less sweet. Waldbeere is more bold and rich, while Grapefruit & Blossom is soft and fresh. I think both are good in their own way, but this one is better if you want something mild and cool.

Before trying any new drink, I always check what is inside. The new flavor Red Bull is no different. I turned the can around and took a good look at the label. The drink has the usual ingredients found in most Red Bull editions, but here i a quick breakdown in simple words.

Other Red Bull Flavors

If you are into trying new drinks like me, you will know that Red Bull often drops special editions. These limited-time flavors bring something fun and fresh every season. Besides the Grapefruit & Blossom one I just had, here are two others you might want to try or keep an eye on:

• White Peach (Summer Edition): This one came out before and is still one of my favorites during hot days. It has a soft peach taste, with a smooth citrus feel in the end. I liked how light and refreshing it was. It also comes in a sugar-free version, which tastes almost the same.
• Fuji Apple Ginger (Winter Edition – rumored): There are speculations about a new winter flavor coming soon. If it turns out to be Fuji Apple Ginger, I think it will be great for cold weather. A mix of crisp apple and warm ginger sounds unique. I will definitely try it if it comes out.
