So I love the taste of energy drinks, but I hate the caffeine since it doesn’t let me sleep when i drink it with dinner is there a drink that can accomplish my goal or is the taste in the caffeine?
EDIT: I figured it out so i you add water saffron rock candy and sugar add some sparkling water with lemon flavor then mix I haven’t figured out how to make it as sour tho, but it’s close in my opinion if you get the amounts right, but energy drinks have that artificial flavor so I can never make it truly the same
Green apple soda
Grapefruit soda (IE Squirt)
Fruit juices (Pineapple is great)
If you mean the very basic “original” flavor that comes from gurana berry I don’t think you’ll find a non-caffeinated alternative, since the berry itself has caffeine.
:shudder:
You sir are broken.
Carry on.
So many people’s bodies and wallets would benefit from 6 weeks of only drinking water.
The cravings will go away, drinks you used to love will suddenly be too sweet. You will simply feel better and wonder why you were so obsessed to begin with. Then you’ll buy 18 different kinds of tea to drink just 2 regularly. No idea why the last step happens, but it does.
I wish that would happen for me. Maybe the length of time one needs to abstain needs to be longer or something. I try to avoid drinking sweet drinks because of how easily it makes you fat but I don’t enjoy them any less and my favourites never feel too sweet and often I find myself really craving a very sweet drink and it’s only by not having it in the house that I manage to avoid it.
I guess I never really went full cold turkey, I figure I should be able to moderate the habit and only consume it on occasion which I think ends up being something like 1 to 2 glasses every 1.5 weeks on average.
Lmao you okay good buddy?
NileRed who makes entertaining chemistry videos of making random things, has a video on making a caffeine free Red Bull:

Its pretty much a guide on making it yourself if you’re daring and have the resources. And don’t forget to follow that up with his video on how he turned latex gloves into hot sauce .
Maybe grind some Smarties onto a 7UP?
American or British?
Sure!
Maybe try drinking a battery?
Seltzer with 5 grams of sugar.
What are you eating for dinner that the taste of energy drink goes well with it?
Doritos. And a gas station hotdog.
That hotdog’s looking pretty rough by dinner time
Dry aged hotdogs ❤️
I want the dog that’s been on the rollers since 1962.
The energy drink really brings out all of those flavor notes!
if you want more sourness maybe try adding some powdered citric acid or malic acid, whatever you can find at a grocery store. It’ll be in the spice aisle.
ty i will try
In my grocery store it’s called Sour Salt (there’s no salt in it) and it’s in the Jewish section near the jars of borscht.
But another way would be to squeeze a slice of lemon into it.
I’ve seen concentrate with energy drink flavour. I tried it. Tastes like generic energy drink.
Just mix it with water.
Be careful chasing the acidity of energy drinks. Full throttle is around 2 pH, not so good for your teeth or stomach health.
Celsius has a line for caffeine free options
Watch out for the random cans with alcohol though 😉
Have you tried Guaraná?
I find it tastes a bit like a mix of red bull and mountain dew. It’s a soda, but very close to energy drink taste
It has caffeine though, and a mix of other compounds that have a similar effect as an energy drink, so it would not help with sleeping.
Maybe try aspartame instead of sugar?
