This is a review of NETFLIX ENERGY DRINK LEMON LIME, released in 2024 by the Korean convenience store chain GS25.

The large 500ml can features a boldly placed Netflix logo that gives off a powerful first impression, as if it were designed specifically for an energy drink.

I expected it to have the kind of half-hearted flavor typical of promotional energy drinks, but I was pleasantly surprised. Let me walk you through the details of this review.

In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 8,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.

Flavor of NETFLIX ENERGY DRINK LEMON LIME

When opened, a rich, sweet and tangy aroma reminiscent of limeade bursts out. The strong scent suggests a promising flavor. Let's give it a try.
Flavor of NETFLIX ENERGY DRINK LEMON LIME
The flavor can be best described as sour limeade with a pronounced lemony tartness.

The aroma of limeade lingers pleasantly after drinking, allowing me to enjoy both a refreshing sharpness and a satisfying depth. It turned out to be an unexpectedly delicious drink.

There's none of the unnatural aftertaste typical of artificial sweeteners. Instead, there's a solid umami beneath the sharp acidity, making it hard to believe this is a zero-sugar drink. It closely resembles the flavor of Japan’s Red Bull Summer Edition 2024 Lime.

Being able to enjoy a limeade of this quality with zero sugar is truly impressive.

As a novelty product from Netflix, it may seem like one of those typical promotional drinks meant to spark curiosity, but the taste far exceeds expectations. The fact that it delivers such a solid limeade flavor without using sugar is another big plus.

The Netflix logo dominates nearly half of the can, creating a design with striking visual impact.

The vertically aligned large logo mark, paired with the Netflix text beneath it, feels as if it was tailor-made for an energy drink. It's a very unique and cohesive design.

The back of the can features a tagline along with the energy drink’s ingredients.

This same back design is reused in the later-released “Squid Game” energy drink, suggesting that Netflix content from Korea may continue to be developed into a series of energy drinks.
