We think we have all seen that big black can with the green “M” sliced in the front. The Monster energy drink is pretty recognizable!

But have you seen the new pink Monster drink? Gone is the black and neon green can. Now it is all pink, silver and extra delicious.

The pink Monster energy drink is known as Ultra Rosa flavor. It has a very unique taste that is refreshing, floral and pretty complex. After one sip, we were dying to try to make our own version of the pink Monster drink.

It seemed like a pretty great challenge! And guess what? We think we nailed it.

What Flavor is Pink Monster Ultra Rosa?

It can be a little hard to describe the flavor of a pink Monster energy drink. It is pretty unique! All we know for sure is that once you taste it, you will be hooked. And once you taste our homemade version, you will be even more addicted.

Ultra rosa has a berry, lemonade flavor with a little bit of cranberry and a little bit of rose flavor. It is the floral taste that really makes it different from other lemonade style energy drinks we have tried.

Floral flavors make drinks rich, earthy and naturally a little bit sweet. We captured this citrus, flowery flavor in our homemade pink monster energy drink for sure!

Ingredients in Pink Monster Flavor Drink

So what exactly is in the pink Monster can? Quite a few ingredients we don’t really understand- that’s what.

Pink Monster energy drinks have a lot of artificial flavors and ingredients. While these may taste good, they aren’t necessarily healthy.

Here is exactly what is inside that can.

Carbonated Water
Citric Acid (flavor)
Erythritol and Sucralose (sweetener)
Taurine (caffeine)
Natural Flavors
L-Carnitine and L-Tartrate (artificial amino acids)
Several preservatives
B vitamins

This list is a little more simplified than the back of the pink Monster can. We tried to make it clear and concise so you get the real idea of what is in the drink.

But that list of technical names of each artificial B vitamin is quite intense. Niacinamide, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride….those are some long, chemically sounding names! We prefer the more natural route…

Our Pink Monster energy drink is a little bit simpler and has ingredients that are easier to find than the complicated stuff in the pink can.

Here is what we use to make our homemade Ultra Rosa:

Pink Lemonade- any kind will work! Go for sugar free if you are looking to keep this drink low cal and low sugar
Cranberry juice- Use 100% cranberry juice rather than cranberry juice cocktail. It has a stronger, tangier taste that we love.
Carbonated Water- Pink Monster energy drinks have a little bit of fizz so we use carbonated water to get those bubbles in the glass.
Lemon Juice- Fresh lemon juice adds a nice, bright tang that enhances the flavor of the drink.
Green Coffee Bean Extract- you can buy powdered green coffee bean extract online here. Just remember a little bit goes a long way! There is a lot of caffeine in that little scoop!
Monin Rose Syrup- Rose syrup gives our drink that tasty, floral taste that is unique to pink Monster. Any brand of rose coffee syrup will work but we especially like Monin rose which has the strongest taste.

You may need to order those last two ingredients but, once you have them on hand, you will be able to make tons and tons of Pink Monster drinks.

Make the investment- it is well worth it!
