30. Red Bull
Red Bull packs 80 milligrams of caffeine in an 8.4-ounce can but is still one of the more modestly caffeinated offerings on this list.
Beyond its classic flavor, Red Bull offers special edition flavors like Coconut with coconut and berry, Amber with strawberry and apricot, and Summer with Juneberry.
29. V8 +Energy
As a more health-conscious take on energy drinks, V8 delivers a blend of fruit, veggies, and tea for a modest 80 milligrams of caffeine in an 11.5-ounce serving.
The drink is also free of added sugar and comes in flavors like Orange Pineapple, Peach Mango, Wildberry, and Black Cherry. For some fizz, there are also sparkling versions.
28. Essential Amin.o Energy
With 100 milligrams in a 12-ounce can, Optimum Nutrition's Essential Amin.o Energy offers a mixture of hydration and energy to begin your day or jumpstart your exercise routine.
As the name suggests, the drink contains amino acids and electrolytes to fuel your body. The beverage comes in multiple flavors, including Blueberry Lemonade.
27. Celsius BCAA
In a 12-ounce serving, Celsius packs 100 milligrams of caffeine along with ingredients to help hydration and recovery, like amino acids, electrolytes, tart cherry, and vitamin D3.
Despite containing tart cherry, this doesn't affect the drink's taste. It comes in three sparkling flavors, Blue Razz, Tropical Twist, and Blood Orange Lemonade.
