Red Bull is leaning into spring vibes in a big way.

In a Feb. 23, 2026 announcement out of Santa Monica, the brand revealed Red Bull Spring Edition Cherry Sakura—a limited-time flavor designed to match the season’s “let’s get outside” energy. The release is available nationwide now, and it’s coming in two options: with sugar and sugar-free.

What it tastes like

Red Bull describes the new Spring Edition as a layered flavor built for people who want something bright, floral, and a little unexpected.

Here’s the profile the company shared:

• Cherry
• Cherry blossom (sakura)
• A touch of almond flavor

The result sounds like a spring-forward twist—sweet and fruit-led up front, with a floral note and a light, nutty finish.

What to look for on shelves

If you’re scanning the cooler, Red Bull says the Spring Edition Cherry Sakura will be easy to spot.

The cans are packaged in:

• White-colored 8.4 fl oz and 12 fl oz individual cans
• Cherry-red lettering accents

Like other seasonal drops, this one is expected to move quickly. Red Bull notes it will be sold at retailers nationwide “while supplies last.”

Same functional ingredients, new seasonal flavor

Red Bull also emphasized that Spring Edition Cherry Sakura contains the same functional ingredients as Red Bull Energy Drink, with the difference being the limited-time taste.

For caffeine context, the company says one 8.4 fl oz can contains 80mg of caffeine, which it compares to about the same amount as a home-brewed cup of coffee.

The bigger picture: Red Bull’s scale keeps growing

Seasonal flavors have become a reliable way for major beverage brands to keep things fresh, and Red Bull’s numbers show why these launches matter.

According to the company, Red Bull Energy Drink is available in 178 countries, and more than 13.9 billion cans were consumed in 2025 alone.

Bottom line

If spring flavors are your thing—or you’re just ready for something new in the energy drink lineup—Red Bull Spring Edition Cherry Sakura is officially in the wild. It’s nationwide, it’s limited, and it’s available with sugar or sugar-free, so you can pick your lane and stock up before it disappears.

Teremana® The People’s Margarita and Wingstop Original Hot Wings

Teremana® Tequila Partners With Wingstop to Celebrate Fans of Flavor This Postseason

Teremana® Tequila is bringing the good energy to game day.

In a new “Fans of Flavor” partnership announced Jan. 9, 2026, the premium tequila brand founded by Dwayne Johnson is teaming up with Wingstop—the global wing brand known for fresh, made-to-order chicken wings, bold flavors, and its iconic housemade ranch—to help fans turn watch parties into full-on flavor celebrations.

The idea is simple: rival teams may split the room, but wings and margaritas are universal.

Teremana Tequila and Wingstop

Wings + Margaritas: A Game Day Pairing Worth Building Around

From now through Feb. 8, fans can explore wing-and-cocktail combinations using the new Fans of Flavor pairing generator, built to match Wingstop’s signature flavors with Teremana margarita recipes.

It’s a fun way to level up the table—where the food, drinks, and people become the main event.

Here are a few standout pairings highlighted in the launch:

• Wingstop Original Hot wings + Teremana® The People’s Margarita for a tropical twist on a classic heat-forward flavor
• Wingstop Spicy Korean Q wings + Teremana® Spicy Margarita for heat that builds and keeps the party going
• Wingstop Garlic Parmesan wings + Teremana® Strawberry Margarita for a fresh, fruity contrast against savory richness

Sweepstakes: Win the Ultimate Game Day Flavor Fest

The partnership also includes a nationwide sweepstakes offering fans a shot at a seriously upgraded watch party.

One grand prize winner will receive the Ultimate Game Day Flavor Fest, featuring:

• Wingstop gift cards
• Game day drink funds
• A 75″ TV
• Support for a private bartender and party essentials

Plus, 60 additional winners will each receive Teremana drink cash prizes and a Wingstop gift card—an extra nod to the 60th anniversary of football’s biggest game.

Official rules and prize values are available at TeremanaFansofFlavor.com.

“Mana” Meets Flavor: The Point of the Partnership

At its core, this collaboration is built around shared moments—bold taste, good company, and the kind of food-and-drink spread that makes people linger a little longer.

Teremana’s brand philosophy centers on Mana—good energy that brings people together—and the pairing concept fits naturally into how fans already celebrate postseason football.

“Wingstop has always delivered on bold flavor, and that spirit shows up naturally in how people enjoy Teremana on game day,” said Richard Black, CEO of Teremana® Tequila. “The best game day moments don’t happen by accident, they come from good energy, great flavor, and the people you share them with.”

I’ve been legally drinking beer long enough to remember when the default choice at most bars was something cold, fizzy, and forgettable. Like most people, when I turned 21, I drank what was available, what was cheap, and what everyone else was drinking.

Over time, my palate evolved—and my patience for bland, mass-produced beer disappeared.

These days, if I’m reaching for a beer, chances are it’s a wheat beer.

From “Anything Cold” to Actually Tasting Beer

Early on, I learned something important: not all beer is created equal. The big mainstream domestic brands—built for volume, shelf life, and advertising budgets—never really did it for me. They’re engineered to offend no one, which usually means they excite no one either.

Thin body. Muted flavor. A sameness that makes one brand blur into the next.

That doesn’t mean I dislike American beer. Quite the opposite.

Why Craft and Small Breweries Changed Everything

What I do appreciate are medium-sized breweries, small operations, and microbreweries that actually care about flavor, balance, and craftsmanship. Domestic brewers who treat beer like food—not just a commodity—have produced some outstanding work over the years.

The rise of craft beer proved that American brewers could compete with the best in the world when flavor came first.

Discovering Wheat Beers: Flavor Without Heaviness

My appreciation for wheat beers came naturally. Unlike many heavy ales or aggressively hopped styles, wheat beers offer complexity without exhaustion.

A great wheat beer delivers:

• A soft, rounded mouthfeel
• Notes of banana, clove, citrus, or spice
• Natural carbonation that lifts the flavor
• Balance that works whether you sip or socialize

German Hefeweizens, Weissbiers, and Weizenbocks set the standard. Breweries like Weihenstephaner, Paulaner, Franziskaner, and Schneider Weisse showed me just how expressive wheat beer can be without trying to overwhelm the drinker.

Tasting the World, Not Just the Shelf

Over the years, I’ve sampled beers from around the world—Germany, Belgium, the UK, Mexico, Japan, and beyond. Each region brings something different, but the best beers share a common thread: intention.

Once you’ve tasted beers refined over centuries, it’s hard to get excited about products designed mainly for shelf stability and mass appeal.

Yes, American Wheat Beers Can Be Great Too

To be fair, American craft brewers have done some excellent work with wheat beers. Some stay true to traditional styles, while others experiment carefully with citrus or spice.

The good ones respect the base beer instead of burying it under gimmicks.

Why Wheat Beers Still Top My List

After years of drinking, tasting, and learning, wheat beers remain my go-to for one simple reason: they deliver flavor without fatigue.

They don’t need extreme bitterness. They don’t rely on shock value. They don’t pretend to be something they’re not.

Wheat beers are confident, approachable, and honest—and that’s something I appreciate more with every passing year.

I’ll always respect a well-made beer, no matter where it’s brewed. But if you ask me what I actually enjoy drinking, what I come back to again and again, it’s wheat beers.

Not shouted through a commercial.
