Leading energy drink brand in New Zealand, V Energy, has established a few different series of beverages, beyond its original green, and its handful of extensions like Black, Grape Burst, Blue, and the more recent, Raspberry Lemonade. There is now the light, sweet, and low-calorie Refresh Series, Riise with fiber, and the Candy collection. While we mostly see it add to its other lines, not so much its main one, that’s not the case in V’s first drop for 2026.
V Energy has added a red-colored option to its core line of energy drinks, and fitting for the theme, it features a strawberry-based taste. The extension is called Strawberry Crush, for a complete and sweet strawberry taste, and this is not for any of the brand’s better-for-you formulas. The Strawberry Crush V Energy Drink has a huge 54.1g of carbohydrates per can, 53.8g of that sugar, 234 calories, and the usual 155mg of caffeine in a full 500ml can.
Strawberry Crush is already available across New Zealand, anywhere from convenience stores to supermarkets, and while a few of the core line flavors do come in small 250ml cans, that’s not the case on this one, with only the 500ml at the moment.
