Red Bull SPRING EDITION 2025 Grapefruit & Blossom

Posted on July 17, 2025 | Last updated August 20, 2025

This is a review of Red Bull SPRING EDITION 2025 Grapefruit & Blossom, a spring limited release launched in the United States on March 3, 2025.

When I visited the U.S. in early July, store inventories were already nearly depleted, and I was finally able to find a 355ml can at just one store.

Despite being called "Grapefruit & Blossom," the can color is oddly lavender, which feels a bit out of place. However, the flavor itself is exquisite, offering an elegant European character. Let’s dive into the details of the 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 Red Bull SPRING EDITION 2025 Grapefruit & Blossom

When opened, it releases a fresh, juicy grapefruit aroma combined with a sweet, floral scent reminiscent of elderflower. The fragrance is very similar to the now-standardized RED BULL GREEN EDITION Curuba Elderflower, instantly raising expectations. The liquid itself is an unexpected light green, like young spring leaves. Let’s take a sip.

On the palate, it delivers a juicy burst of citrus fruit flavor, balanced with moderate acidity and a refreshing grapefruit bitterness in the aftertaste.

The sweet, floral elderflower-like aroma enhances the pulp-forward grapefruit flavor, creating a drinking experience where the taste gradually evolves from the first sip to the lingering finish—complex and satisfying.

The main grapefruit flavor is incredibly realistic, making it hard to believe there’s no actual juice. One sip makes you want to grab a second can immediately!

The floral aroma faithfully reproduces a rich elderflower scent, allowing for a natural and enjoyable drinking experience.

In Europe, the product is named "Woodruff & Pink Grapefruit," based on the German herb Woodruff (Waldmeister). This calm aroma is therefore not elderflower, like in the RED BULL GREEN EDITION Curuba Elderflower, but a reproduction of Waldmeister.

Ah, so the green color reflects the Waldmeister inspiration. Here’s a photo of Waldmeister:

Waldmeister-flavored products are often dyed a deep green, but Red Bull SPRING EDITION 2025 has a gentle, herb-like green, evoking fresh spring leaves.

Overall, the flavor is calm and sophisticated, perfect for adults enjoying the fresh spring season.

As of July 2025, the product was nearly sold out in the U.S., making it hard to find. It’s curious that it has not become a permanent item yet. This is an outstanding flavor that deserves permanent release, earning a top rating of 5.

Design of Red Bull SPRING EDITION 2025 Grapefruit & Blossom

The soft lavender color is springlike, but it does not match the flavor, which is a drawback.

The flavor name is printed in a light green matching the drink, but the can’s appearance does not convey the flavor’s appeal.

The Red Bull Edition series relies only on color changes, which unfortunately fails to convey the flavors’ charm. This particular flavor is so outstanding that it’s disappointing the can design doesn’t reflect its deliciousness.

Nowadays, many energy drinks feature packaging that clearly conveys the flavor, and it would delight fans if Red Bull evolved its design to better represent the taste.

We look forward to seeing how the world’s reigning champion, Red Bull, will continue to evolve.
