5-hour ENERGY Launches Nostalgic Summer Frozen Treat Flavors
The official start of summer is still about a month away, but the current temperatures outside are saying otherwise. While many of us don't get the luxury of leisurely summer vacations in adulthood as we did once upon a time, we can still lean into the nostalgia of summer through pool days, backyard cookouts, and now, 5-hour ENERGY's latest flavor lineup.
The iconic energy shot brand is always innovating with new flavors, but they've certainly outdone themselves with the latest drop: Firework Freeze, OrangeSicle, and Raspberry Cooler. Think back to the days of running up to the ice cream truck and grabbing your favorite popsicle or sherbet treat, only this time in the form of a sugar-free, zero-calorie energy shot.
Each 5-hour ENERGY shot contains 230 mg of caffeine along with B-vitamins and essential nutrients for fast, effective energy. With zero sugar and zero calories, these summer-inspired flavors deliver a refreshing boost without the inevitable crash that usually accompanies sugary drinks.

Of course, you can enjoy them on their own, whether you're trying to push through a busy work day or get amped up on the way to the gym. But they also make for fun additions to mocktails, slushies, frozen treats, and DIY freezer‑pop recipes. Looking for some inspo? Here are a couple of ideas to get you started.
