ROCKSTAR FREEZE PINEAPPLE & COCONUT
This is a review of ROCKSTAR FREEZE PINEAPPLE & COCONUT, released in the UK on June 16, 2016.
It shares the same flavor lineage as the ROCKSTAR PINA COLADA released in the United States. In Europe, however, the name avoids cocktail terminology—likely to prevent confusion with alcoholic beverages—and instead highlights the fruit flavors.

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 ROCKSTAR FREEZE PINEAPPLE & COCONUT
When opened, a sweet pineapple aroma bursts forth, followed by the gentle scent of coconut. The liquid inside has a cloudy appearance, much like a piña colada. Let’s give it a try.
As I took a sip, I was greeted with the juicy taste of pineapple juice accented by the soft and sweet aroma of coconut—just like the image of tropical fruits brought to life.
I was surprised by how realistic the pineapple flavor was, as if freshly squeezed. The quality is so high that it could easily stand alone as a pineapple-flavored drink.
The coconut aroma is only faintly present, so it doesn’t interfere with the pineapple flavor. Even those who aren’t fans of coconut will likely enjoy the taste, which resembles a tropical pineapple cocktail.
This version of ROCKSTAR FREEZE PINEAPPLE & COCONUT was released in Germany.
The taste is nearly identical to the UK version. The authenticity of the pineapple flavor is impressive, and the coconut scent is subtle enough to make it easy to drink. Given how long it was available in Germany, it likely received consistently high praise.
Energy Ingredients of ROCKSTAR FREEZE PINEAPPLE & COCONUT
Contains 160mg of caffeine, 2000mg of taurine, 50mg of ginseng, and 50mg of guarana.
It also contains more than 67g of sugar. With a flavor this good, it’s tempting to stock up and drink it daily—but excessive sugar intake can put a strain on the body, so caution is advised.

Design of ROCKSTAR FREEZE PINEAPPLE & COCONUT
It features the same colors and design as the ROCKSTAR PINA COLADA released in the U.S. in 2015.
The European version clearly labels itself as part of the “ROCKSTAR FREEZE” series, making it easy to identify. The seamless and cohesive design—from the price print at the top of the can to the black top—is also quite attractive.
The German version on the left features the later-stage “big star” design.
Seeing them side by side really highlights how superior the original design on the right was. The big star version on the left lacks even the basics of a product label—neither the brand name nor the series name appears on the front due to the oversized star.
With wasted negative space and poor overall balance, this marked the beginning of Rockstar’s ongoing design missteps and the brand’s decline.
