Red Bull The Ice Edition Iced Gummy Bear / Vanilla Berry

Red Bull Iced Gummy Bear – Flavour of the Ice Edition

Red Bull Iced Gummy Bear combines the sweetness of gummy sweets with vanilla and berry notes – plus a sparkling, cool character from the carbonation. Red Bull describes the variety with blueberry, vanilla and an icy-fresh note; our data sheet lists the profile as Sparkling & Spritzig as well as Fruity. If you want to know which flavour the Ice Edition delivers: it is neither a citrus nor a cola tone, but a sweet fruit flavour with creamy vanilla in the background and a fresh finish. The gummy bear notes refer to the taste of classic fruit-gum sweets, not to an additional product. Served chilled, the variety tastes cleaner; at room temperature it comes across noticeably sweeter.

The moment: when the can fits

The 250 ml can is a ready-made drink – open and drink, no preparation needed. Well chilled straight from the fridge, the variety tastes at its most balanced: the carbonation stays brisk for longer, the vanilla rounds things off without covering the berries. Typical occasions are the lunch break, the evening after work or a night with friends where different drinks are lined up on the table. Drink it right after opening – opened cans quickly lose their sparkle. If you go for berry drinks, you'll find a second fruit-flavoured import in our range with Lotte Milkis Erdbeere.

Origin & import status

Country of origin according to the product data: Mexico. The Ice Edition is supplied as a US import – a limited edition that is only stocked for short periods and not on every shelf in Ireland. Editions like this are released seasonally; once a run sells out, the variety disappears again. If you want to get hold of it, keep this in mind: while stocks last. With us, the can sits in our Irish warehouse – short delivery routes instead of an import waiting list. Alongside drinks, our import range also includes specialities such as Real Mad Honey Turkey 50g, likewise products you won't find on the standard Irish supermarket shelf.

Who it's for & alternatives

For you if you like trying limited editions you can't pick up in your local supermarket, and enjoy sweet fruit-vanilla profiles. Less suitable if you're looking for citrus-led or reduced-sugar varieties: there are 11 g sugar per 100 ml. Anyone who consciously avoids caffeinated drinks should also give this can a miss – 32 mg caffeine per 100 ml sits in the typical range for classic energy drinks. Do you generally enjoy vanilla as a leading note? Lotte Milkis Banane works with a similarly creamy-sweet direction and complements the Ice Edition nicely in a small tasting round.

Practical check & range

Practical check – how it works: chill the can for several hours, and before drinking give it a quick once-over – no damage, then open it. Taste the first sip consciously: the gummy sweetness comes first, then vanilla and berries, and the carbonation keeps everything upright. Flat leftovers should be poured away, not put back in the fridge.
