After months of teasing at trade shows, Liquid Death has finally let its Sparkling Energy Drink out into the wild—just not with a massive retail blitz. The first stop? Amazon, where you can now grab cases for about $21.99.

What Makes It “Unextreme”

In a category obsessed with 200–300 mg caffeine hits, Liquid Death is leaning into the opposite pitch. Each 12 oz can carries:

  • 100 mg of caffeine—roughly a solid cup of coffee

  • Zero sugar and minimal calories, in line with most modern energy drinks

  • Added L‑theanine, B‑vitamins and minerals to soften the caffeine edge and add some functional cred

Packaging sticks to the brand’s metal‑album aesthetic but shifts into a slimmer 12 oz can compared to its standard water lineup.

Early Taste Reactions

Early reviewers at shows like NACS and supplement media outlets have been blunt:

  • The flavor is fine but not category‑leading, especially given how strong the competition is in zero‑sugar energy right now.

  • If you love Liquid Death’s brand and want a modest caffeine bump, it’s a natural extension; if you’re chasing the most intense flavor or energy hit, there are louder options.

Still, the “coffee‑level” caffeine pitch is smart for people who want something stronger than sparkling water but lighter than hardcore pre‑workout in a can.

Where You Can Buy It

Right now, Liquid Death is keeping distribution tight:

  • Amazon is the primary launch channel, with cases around $21.99.

  • Wider retail rollout is expected in early 2026, with the brand already previewing energy at events and in its own dedicated product category.

Given the brand’s track record, don’t be surprised if energy shows up on shelves next to its flavored sparkling water and limited collabs.

Final Take

Liquid Death’s energy debut is more coffee alternative than stunt drink. It’s aiming for the spot in your day where you’d normally grab a cold brew or second coffee—just with the brand’s usual over‑the‑top can art and name.

If you live on Amazon and want something that sits between hydration and full send, this is an easy curiosity purchase. Whether it becomes a staple will come down to how much you care about the brand personality vs. the actual sip.
