On May 19th, 2022, PepsiCo announced the opening of a Mountain Dew-themed Outpost opened to the public on June 4th, lasting until the 12th of the summer. It had a partly similar flavor and color to Diet Crave, Electric Apple, and Thrashed Apple, all of which had a pure Apple flavor. I wonder if we’ll see more flavors of Rise Energy in the future as we’ve seen some of the other lines expand over time.Apple Cinnamon was one of the six Mountain Dew flavors sampled at the Mountain Dew Outpost from June 4th to the 12th, 2022, at Doe Mountain in Tennessee.Īs its name implies, Apple Cinnamon was an Apple and Cinnamon flavor of Mountain Dew. This has been an interesting ride, and an overall enjoyable one. Still one of these Rise Energy drinks to try out. A 10am drink to have with Eggs Benedict and a fruit salad. This one seems like it’d be great with brunch. Like, I might grab one of the others at 4am to kick me awake and get me going. It’s rather delightful and smooth, as I say.Īnd like with the other Rise Energy drinks, I’m not getting a whole ton of aspartame aftertaste, which I greatly appreciate.Īll in all, this strikes me as a slightly later-morning beverage. Like, the peach is the start of the wave and just after the crest, that’s where the mango shows up. I do get the two, but I’m definitely mostly getting the peach up front and the mango sliding in second. Depending on the peach and the mango in question, the two flavors can be somewhat similar, as such, they blend together fairly readily. And I am mostly getting peach in the flavor. This is a lot more subtle in its delivery. Like, a peach Fanta or something is a really strong kick of peach. Not to say that this is watery or anything like that. None of them have been really as much of a punch in the tongue as a regular Dew might be, but they’ve still all “brought it” in terms of flavor. Taking a sip, I would have to say that this is definitely the mildest of the Rise Energy drinks that I’ve had so far. There’s a bit there, but it’s not super-overpowering like a lot of peach drinks can be. I will say that I was expecting a bigger peach/mango smell from the soda than I’m getting. And mangos are green outside, but definitely bright yellow inside. Though peaches are named peaches and peach is, itself, a color, I can’t say I’ve eaten any peaches that are actually peach-colored. So, let’s get to that pour.Īs one would expect from a peach/mango soda, this is rather bright yellow. So, that’s gotta be at least a little good, right? Anyway, I’m rambling a bit and I’ve barely taken a sip of this Dew so far. Now, I know there’s all sorts of studies that say that aspartame is just as bad for you, but it’s still fewer calories overall. Yes, there’s some because of the concentrated grape juice base, but it’s not nearly as much as your regular can of Dew thanks to aspartame. One thing from these drinks that I’ve come to appreciate is the lack of extra sugar. I’m not a fan of coffee or tea, so I tend to grab a can of soda if I need a morning caffeine fix (which I tend to just leave to Fridays and Saturdays). They’re Mountain Dew drinks designed for us morning soda drinkers. Instead, uses aspartame for zero “added sugar” (beyond what’s in the concentrated grape juice base) What sets apart a Rise Energy drink from a regular can of Dew? Glad you asked:ĥ% juice drink (the base is concentrated white grape juice). I’m making my way back to the Rise Energy line of drinks from Mountain Dew and PepsiCo. Good morning, everyone (well, it’s morning for me, anyway). ![]()
