Last month, I covered the news that Red Bull was releasing a new permanent flavor (or Edition, in their brand parlance) in Q1 2025: Red Bull Pink Edition, aka Wild Berries. At that time, I knew exactly three things: the name of the flavor, the rough release date, and that there was no evidence of a sugarfree version. Well, our friends at Red Bull recently sent over samples of both the regular and sugarfree, the latter of which surely came together in the last month just to make a fool out of me. Let’s see how this wild new Red Bull Pink flavor came out.
- Red Bull Pink Edition
-
Pros: Holy cow, this new Red Bull flavor is tart—in a good way. In my initial coverage, I wrote that it wasn’t yet clear which berries went into the “Wild Berries” label on this can. Now that I’ve tasted Pink Red Bull for myself, I think I’ve figured out which berries they’re using. Y’all, I swear this is cranberry and raspberry. You can imagine how tart that pairing is. This is a great mix of tart and sweet that I’m glad is sticking around. I might have to rethink the status of my favorite permanent Red Bull.
Cons: Some of my fellow taste testers were less sold on the balance between tart and sweet. I see where they’re coming from, but for me, this is a winning combo.

- Red Bull Pink Edition Sugarfree
-
Pros: Sugarfree Pink Red Bull has a much lighter, less tart flavor than the full sugar version. Unlike the recent monk fruit extract update to Red Bull Zero, this one is still made with the classic Red Bull Sugarfree sweetener pairing of acesulfame potassium and sucralose. It isn’t my favorite of the two options, but it is a totally perfunctory substitute for folks who can’t or don’t want to indulge in the sugary version.
Cons: Between losing some tartness and adding some of that unavoidable artificial sweetness, this definitely leans too sweet—even for me, your favorite professional candy eater.

When and where can I get Pink Red Bull for myself?
That depends on who you ask. Officially speaking, Red Bull has told us Red Bull Pink Edition will be available wherever Red Bull [insert color here] Editions are sold nationwide starting on March 3rd. Unofficially speaking, both regular and Sugarfree versions of Red Bull Pink Edition are already available at Walmart and Kroger stores nationwide. (I actually found cans on shelves at both Walmart and Kroger before my samples arrived in the mail, but I’ll chalk that up to delays on mail shipped out of L.A. for obvious reasons.)
