ROCKSTAR (164 Flavors) Reviewed & Explained

Complete Review of All (164 Flavors) Rockstar Flavors

ROCKSTAR

The original Rockstar series. This includes products with a chemical-like flavor, such as the original, as well as one-off products that haven't been part of a series. The older Rockstar products, in particular, are often unique standalone items, making them quite interesting.

Store Exclusive Products

Some Rockstar series products are sold exclusively in certain stores. While some may remain exclusive, others are later made available nationwide after a period of time, often referred to as "nationwide release" or "全米開放" in Japanese.

ROCKSTAR PURE ZERO

The zero-calorie, zero-sugar Rockstar Pure Zero series. Unlike other zero-sugar drinks, this series doesn't have the off-putting taste of artificial sweeteners. It's best enjoyed ice-cold and is known for its high caffeine content of 240mg, which is one of the highest in the Rockstar series. Due to its perfect balance and zero sugar, it has become a long-selling favorite in the U.S.

ROCKSTAR RECOVERY

A low-calorie, non-carbonated recovery series. Featuring refreshing flavors such as juice-based and tea-based drinks, this series offers light and easy-to-drink options.

ROCKSTAR FOCUS

Released in January 2024 in the U.S., Rockstar Focus is a clean and stylish mental focus series. With the launch of three flavors nationwide and seven in the West, this series is one of the most important releases by Rockstar to date, possibly in response to the growing popularity of CELSIUS. In 2024, most energy drinks in the U.S. became sugar-free and calorie-free, but Rockstar took a bold step by releasing seven flavors of the Focus series, creating a significant impact.

ROCKSTAR PUNCHED

A series offering rich, classic fruit punch flavors. With many collaboration cans featuring "Punched" flavors, it’s a popular series in the U.S.

ROCKSTAR JUICED

A juice-infused Rockstar series. Although the juice content is minimal, some flavors provide a real fruit experience. The Tropical Passionfruit, which was briefly re-released in the U.S., is highly recommended.

ROCKSTAR ZERO SUGAR

The "Zero Sugar" series is known for its distinct tea leaf extract flavor, popular in the EU and Oceania. There is a potential for a series in Australia, but the definition of "Zero Sugar" has become unclear, especially with the release of Silver Ice, which lacks tea extract.

ROCKSTAR XDURANCE

Initially released in the U.S. as a sports energy drink, Rockstar XDURANCE did not become a series in the U.S., but several original flavors were launched in Europe. It later made a comeback in the U.S. and is evolving into a fitness-focused series.

ROCKSTAR THERMO

Released in the U.S. in 2019, the Rockstar Thermo series is a fat-burning energy drink. It’s a spin-off of the XDURANCE series. Two flavors were released in the U.S., and four flavors were made available in Canada.

ROCKSTAR SUPER SOURS

A series featuring strong, sour fruit flavors. It is a staple series for Rockstar, released worldwide, including in the U.S.

ROCKSTAR REVOLT

A high-caffeine series launched in the U.S., and now expanding to Canada and Europe. It was likely created in response to the M-100 series from Monster Energy. After the discontinuation of M-100, the Revolt series continued. In Europe and the U.S., it has ended, but new flavors are still being released in Canada.

ROCKSTAR BAJA

The Rockstar Baja series was released in the U.S. but discontinued within a year. However, in Europe, it has taken a unique route with exclusive flavors not available in the U.S.

ROCKSTAR REFRESH

A new zero-sugar series launched in Europe and Oceania in 2023.

ROCKSTAR FREEZE

A refreshing flavor series launched in the summer. After being released in the U.S., it was also introduced in Europe. Among Rockstar drinks, the Pina Colada flavor is highly recommended. It's a must-try before it’s discontinued.

ROCKSTAR ORGANIC

A series made from USDA-certified organic ingredients. The formula is simple and straightforward, with no unnecessary additives. Available in the U.S. and Europe.

ROCKSTAR SPARKLING

A sparkling series with strong carbonation for a crisp taste. Initially launched in the U.S. and later introduced in Europe, it was once released in Japan as the second flavor. This series is now discontinued in most countries.

ROCKSTAR COFFEE

A coffee series by Rockstar. This collection includes a range of beverages, from sweet coffee to those made with almond milk.

ROCKSTAR START

This special series, not available in the U.S., was launched in Germany, the U.K., and Australia. Featuring low sugar and 5% fruit juice, it offers a refreshing experience designed for morning energy boosting.

ROCKSTAR CANNABIS SERIES

A series released in certain parts of the U.S. and Europe containing legal cannabis ingredients. Although it never became a mainstay, it was a unique series that aligned with global trends.

ROCKSTAR VODKA

A vodka series launched in Canada, offering Rockstar flavors with alcohol. Due to the growing trend of banning alcohol-infused energy drinks in North America, this series no longer includes energy ingredients.
