Ghost Energy flavours in NZ, ranked

By NZ Supps Team Updated 4 September 2026 5 min read
Range of Ghost Energy cans in different flavours

Ghost Energy leans hard into licensed candy flavours, so the cans read like a lolly shop. The real question is which ones taste as good as they sound once they are cold. Here is an honest ranking to help you pick.

The short answer

  • Safest first buy: Peach or Original. Both are smooth, sweet and easy to like.
  • Best if you like sour: Warheads Watermelon and Warheads Sour Green Apple nail the sour-lolly hit.
  • Most polarising: Creaming Soda and Grape split the room, so try before you stock up.
  • Cannot decide? Buy a couple of singles first before committing to a full case.

Taste is personal, so treat this as a starting point rather than gospel. The order below reflects popularity and what people re-order.

Why Ghost Energy is worth caring about

Ghost Energy is a zero sugar canned energy drink with 200mg of caffeine per can. That puts it in the moderate-to-strong range, so it covers a pre-training lift or an afternoon reset without going overboard.

What sets Ghost apart is the flavour work. The brand partners with candy names like Warheads and Sour Patch, so the sour flavours actually taste like the lollies they are named after. Because it is zero sugar, all that flavour stays light. You can browse the range in our canned energy collection.

The flavours, ranked

Top tier: order these with confidence

  • Warheads Watermelon: sour watermelon done right, sharp and moreish.
  • Peach: ripe, juicy peach that drinks smooth and easy.
  • Original: the sweet berry-candy flavour Ghost built its name on.

Solid middle: you will be happy with any of these

  • Creaming Soda: nostalgic and creamy, a fun change from the fruit flavours.
  • Ice Tea Lemonade: a lighter, refreshing option in the bigger 500ml can.

Wildcards: love them or leave them

  • Warheads Sour Green Apple: seriously sour green apple. Perfect if that is your thing, sharp if it is not.
  • Grape: bold purple-grape flavour, a big hit for some and a bit much for others.
