Method

How to make it

  1. Fill a 16 oz glass with ice and pour in 300 ml of chilled energy base.
  2. Measure 1 tbsp blue raspberry syrup in — energy bases are already sweet, so start at half of what you think and taste before adding more.
  3. Stir once, gently, with a bar spoon.
  4. For the creamy version, float a cream float on top rather than stirring it in.
  5. Add a lime wheel.
  6. This one is caffeinated by design — check the total before you drink two.
Why this works: The energy builds are the simplest on the board — base plus syrup — which means the only thing to get right is the amount. Energy bases are already sweet, so start at half of what you would use in a fizz.
Getting it right

Tips that actually matter

  • Start at half the syrup you would use in a fizz and taste.
  • Energy bases are pre-sweetened; this is the number one home mistake.
  • Serve over a full glass of ice, immediately.
Mix it up

Variations

  • Sugar-free blue raspberry energy.
  • Add 1 tsp of coconut for a blue coconut energy.
  • Frozen chiller: blend the whole thing with ice.
