About
What it is.
Ghost Energy is a canned energy drink positioned within Ghost's beverage lineup, built around natural caffeine and Neurofactor rather than sugar or calories. Each can is formulated as a sugar-free, low-calorie option that still delivers a full daily value of several B vitamins along with Vitamin C, catering to drinkers who want an energy lift without added sugar, fat, or protein content.
It's made for those navigating dietary restrictions, being both gluten-free and vegan-friendly, and is offered across an extensive flavor lineup — from Sour Patch Kids and WarHeads collaborations to Bubblicious and fruit-forward profiles like Tropical Mango and Strawbango. Sold in multipack format, it suits everyday drinkers who rotate flavors while sticking to a consistent nutritional base.
The verdict
Ghost Ghost Energy wins buyers over with candy-accurate flavors and a smooth energy lift, but the high price and concerns about sweetness and ingredient quality divide opinion and limit appeal to casual consumers.

“I really like it. And, mom, if you're watching this, this is not an energy drink. It's not. This is a can of water, so nothing to worry about.”

Reviewers praise the formula and focus benefits, but the crowd's dominant signal is flavor—both its appeal and its derivative nature overshadow the caffeine story.

What owners single out
In their words
“Spot on flavor to real Swedish Fish. It is a very sippable drink that isn't overly sweet. Up there with the sour patch kids flavors for sure.”
Michael R. · verified purchase · campusprotein.com
“The taste is really super sweet even for being sugar free, the cost for them from walmart is way over priced!!!!!!! Aftertaste is a little tart, only good thing is the energy is level is good. all around it doesn't have any nutritional value, ingredients are horrible only thing calories are decent. The price though from walmart can get more for cheaper at sams club or off amazon.”
