I don’t usually go for citrus soft drinks, but Mountain Dew Energised has kind of earned a spot in my fridge. I picked up the 1.25L bottle on a whim one hot afternoon, mostly because I wanted something cold, fizzy, and a little different from the usual cola options. What surprised me was how refreshing it actually was. The flavour is bold and a bit tangy—definitely more on the citrusy side, but not too sour or overpowering. It’s got that sweet kick you'd expect from a soft drink, and the caffeine gives it a bit of a lift, especially if you’re feeling flat in the afternoon. I’ve started grabbing it when I need a bit of energy but don’t want a full-on energy drink. The 1.25L size is great if you’re sharing it around, but I’ll admit I’ve made it halfway through the bottle myself without realising. It’s easy to drink and doesn’t feel too heavy, which I like. Only thing I noticed recently is the taste seems a little different—turns out they’ve reduced the sugar and added sweeteners. It’s not a massive change, but if you’ve been drinking it for a while like I have, you’ll probably notice it. Overall, Mountain Dew Energised is a fun, fizzy option when I want something with a bit more zing than regular soft drinks. Not something I’d have every day, but definitely one I keep coming back to.
