Red Bull is kicking off the warmer months with a brand-new seasonal release designed to capture the essence of summer in a can. The latest innovation, the Red Bull Summer Edition Citrus Zest, arrives on 24th April 2026, bringing a vibrant citrus-forward flavour profile just in time for festival season, bank holidays, and long summer days.
With a refreshing blend of Japanese sudachi, zesty lime, and pomelo, the drink is positioned as a bold new addition to the brand’s seasonal lineup — and it’s also available in a sugar-free version.
A Fresh Take on Summer Energy Drinks
The new Red Bull Summer Edition Citrus Zest is designed to stand out both in flavour and appearance. Packaged in striking neon yellow cans, it delivers a visually bold aesthetic that feels tailor-made for summer moments — whether that’s festivals, road trips, or outdoor socialising.
Red Bull continues to expand its seasonal offerings, and this latest edition leans heavily into bright, citrus-led refreshment to match warmer weather energy demands.
Flavour Profile: Japanese Sudachi Meets Citrus Zest
At the heart of Citrus Zest is a carefully balanced combination of flavours:
- Sharp Japanese sudachi citrus
- Zesty lime notes
- Hints of pomelo
- A crisp citrus peel finish
The result is a light, refreshing energy drink that prioritises brightness and drinkability, making it especially suited for daytime consumption during warmer months.
Sugar-Free Option for Lighter Refreshment
Alongside the original version, Red Bull is also launching a sugar-free variant, offering the same citrus intensity with a lighter nutritional profile. This aligns with growing consumer demand for reduced-sugar energy drinks without compromising on taste or function.
Perfect Timing for Festival Season and Summer Plans
With summer events, travel plans, and festival line-ups ramping up across the UK, Red Bull’s latest release is positioned as a seasonal staple for energy on the go.
Whether it’s powering through long workdays or keeping momentum at summer events, Citrus Zest is designed to fit seamlessly into busy seasonal lifestyles.
