After months of chatter, Alani Nu has officially launched Cherry Bomb. The flavor concept is not just “cherry.” It is a blended profile that pulls in vanilla and cola notes to create a cherry vanilla cola style experience in a zero sugar energy drink.

This is the kind of flavor that sits between soda nostalgia and modern energy drink sweetness, and Alani is leaning into that exact intersection.

Cherry Bomb is described as a bold cherry flavor with smooth vanilla and cola infusions. The cola element is a smart twist because it gives the drink more depth than a basic cherry candy profile. It also positions Cherry Bomb as something you can drink like a treat, not just as another fruit flavor in a crowded lineup.

Cherry Bomb keeps Alani’s familiar base:

It is designed for the same use case as the rest of the lineup: a daily energy option that does not feel like a pre workout in a can.

Cherry Bomb is available directly through Alani’s site in 12 packs. Retail availability appears to be expanding, with major retailers already listing the flavor as a limited edition item.

Cherry Bomb feels like a “new core” flavor rather than a gimmick. The cherry vanilla cola concept is familiar, but rare in energy drinks, and it gives Alani a more soda adjacent option that can appeal to both longtime fans and people who do not usually buy bright fruit energy flavors.
