Another long name! This is the second drink in the Relentless Juiced Energy family, with a similar slightly sturdier can with gold-coloured top, and the extra 20p on the price of a normal Relentless. It shares the same concentration and therefore the same caffeine cost efficiency of its Tropical flavour friend, 1.10mg/p for the total of 160mg, that’s 32mg/100ml.

The only other differences are the deep red colour of both the packaging and liquid – and, of course, the change in taste. Again, you’ll probably want to shake the can lightly or pour the drink into a glass to get the juice and the rest of the drink well mixed. First sip – mmm. It tastes just like a generic summer fruits squash. Next sip: mmm.. wait, that tasted funny. And it gets worse. If you have to drink this, do it slowly. Obviously I can’t judge for everyone, but the sweet, not-quite-berry taste quickly got too much for me, to such an extent that I got rid of the rest of the can. It really was quite nasty. And it takes a while to leave your mouth too. Definitely not worth the £1.45.
