One of Rockstar's newest offerings in their zero calorie, sugar free, "Pure Zero" line is their Blue Ice flavor which, alongside Mango Orange, differentiates itself from the rest of their Pure Zero drinks in featuring a design and overall feel that's definitely less "zero calorie" than their other Pure Zero drinks. Blue Ice was released in January 2014, and is currently fairly easy to find- in northeastern Ohio, at least.

Can/Design:

This drink's can features a primarily black and blue color scheme that is busy, dark, and all-in-all effective at promoting the drink inside of the can. The can also has that somewhat "gritty" texture, which is similar to Monster's Cuba Lima energy drink.

As it should, the can also lists all of the "energy ingredients" per serving, as well as the typical warning which states that children, pregnant or nursing women, as well as people sensitive to caffeine shouldn't drink this. I meet "zero" of those credentials, and therefore opened this drink and eagerly took a sip.

Taste:

For the caffeine-addicted, calorie-conscious consumer, "zero" energy drinks are probably satisfying despite usually tasting somewhat "off" as opposed to their non-zero counterparts. This drink, though, actually tastes pretty good, and features a rather "blue" flavor that tastes great, but is hard to place in terms of what flavor it actually is (it's supposed to be blue raspberry).

This drink doesn't taste sugar free whatsoever, and would definitely fool me if it were in a can that didn't say that it was sugar free. Rockstar did a nice job of making this drink's flavor unique and tasty, and I feel that anyone that likes energy drinks would probably like this. I've had several cans of Rockstar's newest Pure Zero drinks, and found this drink easier to consume more than once without growing tired of the flavor than Mango Orange.

Energy:

Per serving, with two servings per can, this drink contains 120 mg. of Caffeine, 1000 mg. of Taurine, 50 mg. of Glucoronolactone, and 25 mg. of Inositol.

Rockstar's drinks, in my opinion, are always pretty satisfying as far as energy goes- no matter the flavor. This drink is no exception, and fared fairly well in providing a nice, long-lasting lift in energy that didn't disappoint. This drink obviously isn't "extreme" as far as energy goes, but, even for me, provided a nice kick that I imagine will work for just about anyone else, too.

Tax included, I paid $2.46 for this drink. Despite being somewhat expensive, this drink is, in my opinion, your best-bet if you like Rockstar and are looking for a zero calorie, sugar free energy drink.
