Alani Witch’s Brew & Pumpkin Cream Review 💚🧡
So excited that these are back! This is the first time trying these because I couldn’t get my hands on them last year so let’s dive into this.
Witch’s Brew: If you’re a lover of caramel apples like me, then Witch’s Brew is a great combo of both. I taste more green apple than caramel but you can always add more caramel ❤️. Add sweet cream to level up this drink. Rating: 10/10
Pumpkin Cream: This to me tastes like a carbonated pumpkin pie and although pumpkin pie is my favorite, I just wasn’t a fan. So glad they only gave you 3 cans. 🤣 Rating: 5/10
Okay, so you've heard my take on Alani's Witch's Brew and Pumpkin Cream, but let's dive a little deeper into what makes these fall treats tick (or not!). The OCR picked up on the 'Worth it?' question, and honestly, that's what we all want to know about seasonal releases, right? Especially when you see that 'Alani Fall Favorites energy drinks' box with its distinct split – 9 Witch's Brew and only 3 Pumpkin Cream. It almost tells you which one is expected to be the star! First up, Witch's Brew. That 'Halloween-themed design' on the blue and purple can truly sets the mood for spooky season! And tasting that crisp green apple flavor with just a hint of caramel? Absolutely delightful. What's even better is that it's clearly labeled '0 sugar,' which for me, means I can enjoy a seasonal pick-me-up without the common sugar crash or worrying about extra calories. This makes it a fantastic alternative to sugary lattes or sodas. I mentioned adding sweet cream, which really transforms it into a caramel apple dessert in a can. But if you're feeling adventurous, try it with a splash of cinnamon coffee creamer for a spiced apple cider vibe, or even blended with some ice for a refreshing slushie. It really is a versatile flavor that lives up to its 10/10 rating for me! Now, onto Pumpkin Cream. The orange and white can with the 'pumpkin-themed design' and 'whipped cream' imagery is so inviting, especially for pumpkin pie lovers like me! But sometimes, expectations don't quite match reality, and that's okay. While it's also '0 sugar,' which is great for maintaining those health goals, the 'carbonated pumpkin pie' taste just didn't hit the mark for my personal palate. It's a tricky flavor to get right in an energy drink format, as the fizziness can sometimes clash with the creamy notes of pumpkin. However, don't write it off completely if you're a die-hard pumpkin fan! Some people absolutely adore it and find it to be a unique take on fall. Maybe try chilling it extra cold, or even mixing a small amount into a plain iced coffee for a subtle pumpkin spice kick without the fizziness. You never know until you try a few combinations! The 'Alani Fall Favorites' box itself makes you ponder if the whole pack is 'Worth it?'. For me, the Witch's Brew alone makes getting the box worthwhile, even if Pumpkin Cream isn't my favorite. It’s the thrill of the limited-edition hunt that really gets me! If you're looking to snag these, keep an eye on major retailers like Target, Walmart, and even sometimes your local gas stations or supplement stores as fall approaches. These seasonal delights tend to sell out fast, so if you see them, grab them! And remember, taste is incredibly subjective – what one person rates a 5/10, another might rate a 10/10. So if you're curious about these 'Flavored with other natural flavors' drinks, grab a can and let your taste buds decide for themselves!
