Redcon1 Energy has been leaning into bold, nostalgic flavors since it entered the energy drink game. The latest addition to the line is a full on JOLT Root Beer collaboration that revives the classic Jolt Cola brand in a modern, sugar free energy format.
What Is Inside JOLT Root Beer
The JOLT Root Beer flavor uses the same high performance Redcon1 Energy base that other flavors do. Per can, you are looking at roughly:
200 milligrams of natural caffeine from green coffee beans
200 milligrams of alpha GPC for focus
1 gram of L‑carnitine to support fat metabolism
1 gram of taurine for exercise performance and metabolic support
Zero sugar with a low calorie profile
It is built to feel more like a performance supplement in a soda style flavor than a simple fizzy pick me up.
Root Beer As An Energy Flavor
Root beer is not a common flavor in the energy drink category, which is dominated by citrus, tropical, berry and candy inspired options (although it’s definitely up and coming quickly). JOLT Root Beer is going after:
Fans of classic fountain root beer who want the taste without sugar
Older energy drink consumers who grew up with the original Jolt Cola brand
People who like cola or cream soda style energy drinks but want something more unique
Early social content from both Jolt Cola and Redcon1 calls out the familiar root beer taste with the same 200 milligram caffeine hit and no sugar formula.
Launch Timing And Availability
According to Redcon1, JOLT Root Beer began rolling out to retail partners in the fourth quarter of 2025, with:
Direct availability through Redcon1’s website in 12 can cases
Placement in key supplement retailers and some mainstream accounts
Heavy TikTok and social promotion during launch, including live shopping events
If the brand’s earlier flavors are any indication, expect JOLT Root Beer to show up wherever Redcon1 Energy already has shelf space, especially in gym adjacent retailers.
