Since its launch in 2018, the energy drink “Alani Nu” has been a major hit. Featuring 14 flavors, every flavor has something different to offer. Many people have their opinions on which flavor is the best, or which flavor is the worst. Having tried 11 out of these 14 flavors, I am going to put these flavors in order for my personal least favorite to favorite.
Starting off with the worst flavor, Cosmic Stardust. This flavor has a candy taste. The flavor tastes like Skittles in the form of a drink, and when drinking the flavor, it’s just like you’re drinking a can of bad Skittles. Some people love this flavor because of the candy taste, but personally, I think it is disgusting. Out of all of the Alani flavors, this is the only one that I will not drink. Taking place for the second worst flavor is Breezeberry. This flavor is supposed to have a blue raspberry taste. The drink does taste like Blue raspberry, but it is very sour, and it is like you are eating sour candy when you are drinking it. This one specifically leaves a bad aftertaste and overall is just not a very good flavor. Next, we have, Cherry Slush. Cherry slush is a flavor that is tolerable, and I will drink it on occasion, but I don’t love it. The cherry flavor gives off a medicinal taste and is really just boring. After a while of drinking Cherry Slush, I think that the flavor becomes boring, and this flavor also leaves a bad aftertaste in your mouth.
Now that I have ranked the worst three, I am going to rank three more flavors (8-6). Coming in at eighth place is Cherry Twist. This flavor is good however, the lime taste ruins it in my opinion. After a while, the lime taste becomes overwhelming, and it outweighs the taste of the cherry. In seventh place, is the flavor Orange kiss. Orange Kiss is a very good flavor, but it just does not compare to some of the other flavors. It has an orange tropical taste, which is very good. There is nothing wrong with this flavor at all, it just does not really stand out. Coming in with a similar flavor, in sixth place is Dream Float. This flavor is one of my go-to flavors because it has a great balance of orange and vanilla flavor. The flavor that this drink reminds me of is almost an orange creamsicle flavor.
These next three flavors are ranked 5 and 4. Coming in at number five is Blue Slush. Although I have only had this flavor a couple of times, it did not disappoint. This flavor tastes exactly like a blue slushy. It doesn’t have a bad sour taste like Breezberry, it tastes like a real blue slush. Taking place for number 4 is Strawberry Sunrise. I did not know this was a flavor up until about a week ago, but it has quickly become one of my favorites. Being the only Alani flavor that heavily features Strawberry, it is very unique. The taste of the strawberry is not too
overwhelming, and the drink provides a well-balanced mix of other flavors.
Now for my top three flavors. Taking third place is Pink Slush. Out of all the slush flavors, this by far is the best one. It is sweet, but not too sweet. It does not really have a distinct flavor that I can taste, but everything about it is just perfect. Taking the award for second place is Hawaiian Shaved Ice. This flavor tastes like everything you would imagine summer to be. From pina coladas to fresh fruit, to a sweet snow cone, it has the perfect combination of every flavor. Now taking first place, is Juicy Peach. Juicy Peach is the best flavor to exist, and I don’t think my opinion will ever change. Juicy peach tastes like everything you would want in a drink. The peach taste is so fresh and when taking a sip, I automatically feel refreshed. If I only had to drink one flavor for the rest of my life it would absolutely be this one.
The three flavors I have not tried including: Watermelon Wave, Witches Brew, and Cranberry Twist. I do plan to try these flavors in the future, so stay tuned for my updated ranking.
