Arctic Berry

This is the first flavor featured in this series that we can all go out and enjoy today! After years of being unavailable in the US, ITS BACK BABY! Now I realize this has been available for years in other parts of the world, and I consider those the lucky ones. Alot of us are just getting to taste this one for hte first time. I personally did'nt get to taste this in 2020 when it was out here. The blue raspberry hits first, just like a blue slushie. Then a sour note comes through at the end and gives it a crisp little bite. That tart finish is what makes Arctic Berry stand out. It’s a familiar, fun flavor, and the blue raspberry stays front and center.

Taste notes

Blue raspberry flavor, similar to a blue slushie, with a sour note at the end.

In the US, Arctic Berry first appeared as the 2020 Winter Edition. Select stores saw it as early as September, before its nationwide launch on November 20. After its seasonal run, it disappeared. The flavor returned nationwide on September 28, 2026, as the Festive Edition in the Red Bull Advent Calendar. This return is available through the calendar, not as a standalone can. Several lucky countries have had this in their regular lineup for ages.
