The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I am not sure which energy drink you are after, but Guaraná soda tastest similar to some.
Add citric acid powder to make it sour. It is in the ingredients of energy drinks as an acidity regulator but also controls sourness. Be aware it is strong, so only add a little at a time, and make sure it is fully mixed before fizzing it.
I bet you if it exists, the Scottish soft drink company Barr probably makes it
It's been absolutely years since I had either, but I reckon Tizer is probably not too far off that red bull taste. I might be completely misremembering though
there's a variant of golden eagle, it's stuff you find in balkan stores but my local one only stocked the decaffeinated one once (it's horrendous)
I'm not sure if it's what you are looking for but I know that some energy drink manufactures offer their flavors in the form of hydration drinks.
Try 4loko gold. Tastes like a energy drink but they were forced to take out the caffeine.
Caffeine, like many other things, is harmful only in excessive amounts. If you drink some just for the flavour it shouldn't be a problem.
i mean the whole point of energy drinks is that they have a stupid amount of caffeine

Xixo make some like that
edit: I remember their tutti fruity ones, got that generic energy drink flavor
Decaf coffee?
i want monster unleaded to come back so bad💔💔
Caffeine can be annoying but not too harmful. It's the B vitamins you need to be careful around.
I also just want a energy-drink flavoured pop. But mostly I want the old monster assault back so bad...
Can't really go wrong with b vitamins though... being water soluble you'll piss out whatever your body won't absorb, which is the reason for that wonderful neon yellow color.
There's been a rise in cases of B6 toxicity (PDF) resulting in a growing demand for regulation. I also wouldn't be surprised if most of the cardiac issues related to overconsumption of energy drinks was attributable to B6 as well but I'm too lazy to go searching for papers rn.

Yes; energy drinks without caffeine.
Other things give you energy...
What does "energy drink" taste like? It's just lemonade (or soda or pop or soft drink or whatever you Anglophones can't agree on to call it) and the taste depends on what's in it.
It's a unique taste that's why I am asking
I think the classic flavor profile is sour apple, could you just juice some of those and throw them into car battery acid for the same taste?
Sour apple tastes different.
Redbull and monster and full throttle in the old days all had a similar taste.
Like cough syrup. I can't imagine wanting that taste.
The sugar-free energy drinks do taste like that
