Red Bull Editions: Red, Blue, Silver, Yellow, Cherry, Orange
The Red Bull Edition line began with three flavor variations: Red, Silver, and Blue. Then a Summer Edition was released, followed by Orange and Cherry Editions (under the Total Zero label). The rest is history as editions continue to come and go.
For over a decade Red Bull relied on their simple product line. They tried cola and even an energy shot in the USA, but reverted back to just the original and two low calorie versions.
With competitors like Monster releasing multiple flavors, Red Bulls response was its own diverse line of flavors (called ‘Editions’).
See the Red Bull Editions page for a list of all current and past flavors.
Here’s what the original Red Bull Red, Silver, Blue, Summer, Cherry, and Orange Editions were all about.
Total Zero Orange Edition
The Orange Edition is formulated with Red Bull’s Total Zero formula.
- It is tropical orange flavored and described as orange mango.
- Same energy formula as Red Bull Total Zero
- Sweetened with sucralose and Ace-K
- 12 floz can
- 114mg of caffeine
Taste: Orange Edition has a lightly sweet strong orange/mango flavor and is pretty easy to drink. I couldn’t taste any of the energy ingredients, but there was a slight aftertaste from the artificial sweeteners used. All in all, a nice edition to the line and I love that it is zero sugar.
Total Zero Cherry Edition
The Cherry Edition is also formulated with Red Bull’s Total Zero formula.
- It is Cherry flavored and described similar to a black cherry soda.
- Same energy formula as Red Bull Total Zero
- Sweetened with Sucralose and Ace-K
- 12 floz can
- 114mg of caffeine
Taste: Cherry Edition has a slightly sweet tasting cherry flavor that finishes a little on the sour side. It wasn’t bad, but not as nice as the Orange Edition in my opinion. Cherry also has a slight aftertaste from the artificial sweeteners used, but I do see this appealing to those that like cherry flavored soft drinks.
Red Bull Yellow Edition
Red Bull Yellow (previously called Summer) Edition was only available in the summertime, but look for it all year long soon.

Watching your caffeine intake? Get the latest brews and caffeine news.- Yellow (Summer) edition is tropical flavored
- Same energy formula as original Red Bull
- 8.4 floz -or- 12 floz can
- 80mg -or- 114mg of caffeine
Taste: The Yellow has a nice tropical flavor and it reminded me of Orange but Yellow is heavy on the mango and light on the citrus, while Orange tastes the other way around.
This one is sweetened with sugar and sucralose, which cuts down on the aftertaste as well as the calories. It has the same energy blend as original Red Bull, but a little more caffeine if you choose the 12 floz can. All in all a nice tasting beverage.
Red Bull Red Edition
- This version is cranberry flavored.
- Same Energy Formula as original.
- Sweetened with sugar.
- Same price as the original.
- 8.4 floz can.
- 80mg of caffeine
Taste: Red has a light cranberry flavor, yet artificial at that. It is definitely better than Original Red Bull. The can says “artificially flavored” yet in the ingredients it only lists “natural flavors”. It wasn’t bad, but I wouldn’t choose Red on a regular basis.
Silver Edition
- This version is lime flavored.
- Same Energy Formula.
- Sweetened with sugar.
- Same price as the original.
- 8.4 floz can.
- 80mg of caffeine
Taste: Silver is the citrus flavored version and this comes through nicely. It reminds me of Sprite, which is a lemon/lime flavored soda. This was my favorite Edition and what I feel is the most enjoyable to drink.
Blue Edition
- This version is blueberry flavored.
- Same Energy Formula.
- Sweetened with sugar.
- Same price as the original.
- 8.4 floz can.
- 80mg of caffeine
Taste: Blue is blueberry flavored and it was my least favorite. I love blueberries, but hate artificial blueberry flavor, which comes through pretty heavily. It even kind of tastes a little like anise (licorice) to me. I’m definitely not a fan of Blue Edition.
