There is a slight difference in the texture and how it feels on the tongue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, the bitter aftertaste left by Red Bull is also prominent in Rockstar. That&rsquo;s a big letdown, in my opinion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I prefer my energy drinks to be light and refreshing, and Rockstar doesn&rsquo;t really fit that bill. However, its energy boost really is great and I didn&rsquo;t feel any side effects afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So all in all, it comes down to whether Rockstar&rsquo;s flavor appeals to your tastebuds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can watch a more detailed review and an in-depth description of how Rockstar tastes in the video below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Energy Drink Taste Test | Red Bull, Rockstar, Monster\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9cSup7nPBGI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Variants_of_Rockstar_Energy\"><\/span><strong>Variants of Rockstar Energy<\/strong> <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rockstar comes with several different variants to its original drink, I have listed these below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-1cd3bf37-e374-4d3c-aa8c-f00150aa2c0b\"><li><strong>Rockstar Sugar-Free <\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Rockstar Recovery Series <\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Rockstar Pure Zero<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Rockstar Thermo <\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Rockstar Xdurance <\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Rockstar Juiced <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alternatives_to_Rockstar_Energy\"><\/span><strong>Alternatives to Rockstar Energy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re looking for something less strong or a drink that tastes different from Rockstar, here are some options you can choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/how-much-monster-can-you-have-a-day\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/how-much-monster-can-you-have-a-day\/\" target=\"_blank\">Monster<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/how-many-xyience-can-you-drink-in-a-day-truth\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/how-many-xyience-can-you-drink-in-a-day-truth\/\" target=\"_blank\">Xyience <\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/bang-energy-drink-ingredients-label\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/bang-energy-drink-ingredients-label\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bang<\/a> <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_notable_mentions\"><\/span>Other notable mentions:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/is-3d-energy-drink-gluten-free\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/is-3d-energy-drink-gluten-free\/\" target=\"_blank\">3D<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/is-5-hour-energy-gluten-free-facts\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/is-5-hour-energy-gluten-free-facts\/\" target=\"_blank\">5 Hour<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/c4-energy-drink-review\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/c4-energy-drink-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">C4<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Verdict\"><\/span><strong>Final Verdict<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rockstar is not a good option if you&rsquo;re only getting into energy drinks, I would recommend starting with brands that have smaller doses of caffeine present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The taste of the drink is initially great, but the aftertaste is really strong and I&rsquo;m afraid it won&rsquo;t be for everyone.
