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 VENOM ENERGY MOJAVE RATTLER

VENOM ENERGY MOJAVE RATTLER
VENOM Original (BLACK MAMBA)’s low-calorie version, so the color is a similar transparent yellow. Before opening, I thought the inside might be purple, matching the can’s color (ｕ_ｕ*)

The scent is a classic sweet aroma mixed with a rich grape-like smell. It’s a bit different from the original BLACK MAMBA, but without a doubt, it’s still "strong."

Taking the first sip... "Delicious!" This is the best way to describe it (๑´ڡ`๑)

The sweetness and syrup flavor, balanced with a hint of acidity, is spot on for a classic fruit punch. The richness is amazing. If you’re a fan of fruit punch flavors, I recommend drinking it at room temperature for the full effect. The incredibly sweet fruit punch hits the throat perfectly.

Even when chilled, the acidity is slightly more noticeable than at room temperature, but the strong sweetness of the MOJAVE RATTLER remains. The rich, tangy sweetness like acerola becomes more pronounced, and the thick fruit punch experience is still intact ( ´∀｀)b????

It’s amazing that such a delicious fruit punch can be bought for around 100 yen! If you have the chance to go to America, make sure to pick up VENOM’s MOJAVE RATTLER along with Rockstar’s punch.

Mojave Desert and Snakes

VENOM products are usually based on snake motifs, and this time it’s likely inspired by the Mojave rattlesnake. Upon researching, I found that "Mojave" refers to the Mojave Desert area spanning California, and the Mojave rattlesnake that inhabits this desert.

Oh, I’ve heard of the Mojave Desert before! (Since the snake was too intense, I’ll add a free image of the Mojave Desert here, lol)

The venom of the Mojave rattlesnake is 59 times stronger than that of the pit viper! Σ(´∀｀；)
This time it’s low-calorie, but the intense naming sense fits right in with the thick, bold flavors typical of VENOM’s series.

As a classic energy drink brand, I think VENOM is top-tier in quality. The low-calorie version is great, but I’m hoping for a new release that will make me think "wow, that’s insane" with even bolder flavors!
