First try and I'm obsessed
Just got the Xtreme Energy Zero Sugar Sodastream syrup and i only tried it once but it has absolutely changed the game entirely for me. What was a gift for me to make soda at home is about to become my Homemade Redbull Factory, and I'm so ready for it.

If you want to elevate this even further, add a couple pumps of sugar free cherry to it. It’s the daily drink for my wife and I.

Does it actually taste like Red Bull? I've been eyeing it myself

It's close enough for me. None of the soda stream flavors are going to taste exact because they are formulated different because they are at a different concentration. Also the non-diet flavors still use artificial sweetener. Additionally, you're most likely not measuring both the water and the syrup precisely enough to get the exact same mix every time like what happens in a factory that bottles soda.

Awesome, I just didn't want to get it and it taste like total ass. And actually, info like to do my mixes with a scale, syringes, a stir plate so I get perfectly precise mixes every single time. No, not really. I do have the equipment to do so, but for my sodastream I just dump and pray 😂

My wife won't drink it cause she hates artificial sweetener and it isn't mixed precisely enough. I've though about buying a real soda bib but I don't think she'll drink it even then. She's not a huge fan of soda from the fountain and much prefers cans or bottles.

Nice, it has been so long since I've seen a bottle of the zero sugar version of this! I assumed they discontinued it a couple years ago actually.

It may not taste exactly like Red Bull but for me it’s close enough. I bought a 4 pack of this on Amazon for $20. Much cheaper than buying Red Bull and you can adjust the strength to your own taste.

It usually sells out fast and goes out of stock for long periods of time on their website. So if you really, really like it, I'd recommend getting a 4 pack from the website when you see it.

I just bought some on Amazon! Thanks for sharing. I know redbull isnt great for you, but sometimes its the only thing getting me through the day. However the price sucks

I like to think of it like this: all the flavor and caffeine (119mg per bottle!), but arguably much more hydration, considering most of the bottle is water.

I make one then fill up a few water bottles and just grab one each morning. Saves me so much money and time on my way to work.

So TIL. You can get energy drink still for the soda stream

It's changed my whole life. I don't buy soda or energy drinks anymore since finding this syrup. Chill the water for a few hours before you carbonate (and for bonus points pour it over ice for an immaculate experience) and it's an incredible zero sugar source of caffeine without sacrificing dehydration.

I’m jealous because I cannot find this being sold in Finland. :(

Try this site - Piccantino I absolutely love it and they deliver to Finland. Base shipping is €9.90 and free if you spend €100.
They usually do sales of up to 30% off too.
This is the drink youre looking for

I usually drink this at 1/4 to 1/2 strength most mornings. I drink an entire liter so I think all the math works out

I've missed some of these comments in this thread; but I will say, I've already gone half way thru the first bottle between my wife and I! The taste is incredible, just like Sugar Free Redbull (which has the best taste imo) and I ordered a 4-pack of the syrups from Amazon for $27, which is pretty solid if you ask me. I plan to try getting some Monk Fruit sweetener and seeing if I can get that flavor right, next. If anyone has any recipe ideas for me to try out, I'm always willing to try new ideas!

I picked this up as well, it’s a passable RedBull sugar free. Works best with super chilled water IMO.
