Red Bull Coconut Edition

Red Bull has brought back its Coconut Edition, a tropical and fruity take on the classic energy drink.

The coconut beverage was first introduced in 2018 as a limited-edition summer release and has now returned as a permanent placement on retail shelves.

Offering the same functional benefits as the original Red Bull, a 250 ml can contains 80 mg of caffeine, equivalent to a home-brewed cup of coffee.

It has an initial coconut taste profile, which then develops into a fruity açai and blueberry finish that’s fresh and tropical.

Red Bull Coconut Edition is available in 250ml cans and available for purchase at various locations across the country.
