Green apple soda
Grapefruit soda (IE Squirt)
Fruit juices (Pineapple is great)
If you mean the very basic "original" flavor that comes from gurana berry I don't think you'll find a non-caffeinated alternative, since the berry itself has caffeine.

:shudder:
You sir are broken.
Carry on.
So many people's bodies and wallets would benefit from 6 weeks of only drinking water.
The cravings will go away, drinks you used to love will suddenly be too sweet. You will simply feel better and wonder why you were so obsessed to begin with. Then you'll buy 18 different kinds of tea to drink just 2 regularly. No idea why the last step happens, but it does.
I wish that would happen for me. Maybe the length of time one needs to abstain needs to be longer or something. I try to avoid drinking sweet drinks because of how easily it makes you fat but I don't enjoy them any less and my favourites never feel too sweet and often I find myself really craving a very sweet drink and it's only by not having it in the house that I manage to avoid it.
I guess I never really went full cold turkey, I figure I should be able to moderate the habit and only consume it on occasion which I think ends up being something like 1 to 2 glasses every 1.5 weeks on average.
Lmao you okay good buddy?
NileRed who makes entertaining chemistry videos of making random things, has a video on making a caffeine free Red Bull:

Its pretty much a guide on making it yourself if you're daring and have the resources. And don't forget to follow that up with his video on how he turned latex gloves into hot sauce .
Maybe grind some Smarties onto a 7UP?
American or British?
Sure!
Maybe try drinking a battery?
Seltzer with 5 grams of sugar.
What are you eating for dinner that the taste of energy drink goes well with it?
Doritos. And a gas station hotdog.
That hotdog's looking pretty rough by dinner time
Dry aged hotdogs ❤️
I want the dog that's been on the rollers since 1962.
The energy drink really brings out all of those flavor notes!
if you want more sourness maybe try adding some powdered citric acid or malic acid, whatever you can find at a grocery store. It'll be in the spice aisle.

I've seen concentrate with energy drink flavour. I tried it. Tastes like generic energy drink.
Just mix it with water.
Be careful chasing the acidity of energy drinks. Full throttle is around 2 pH, not so good for your teeth or stomach health.
Celsius has a line for caffeine free options
Watch out for the random cans with alcohol though 😉
Have you tried Guaraná?
I find it tastes a bit like a mix of red bull and mountain dew. It's a soda, but very close to energy drink taste
It has caffeine though, and a mix of other compounds that have a similar effect as an energy drink, so it would not help with sleeping.
Maybe try aspartame instead of sugar?
Caffeine is bitter. That's why they mask it with sweet flavors in soda. Just drink it during the day as a treat occasionally and have water (or something else) with dinner?
I did a quick search online for caffeine-free energy drinks and saw a brand called Sparking Ice mentioned a few times as having variants without caffeine, as well as Monster Unleaded.
What about just taking a regular energy drink with some sleeping tablets?
Heart: What could go wrong?
caffeine free coke seems like the easiest solution.
However, what I'd recommend is taking a handful of ice cubes, placing them in a glass of plain water, and then drinking that instead.
Dump a couple of random Kool-aid packs into a pitcher with a few cups of sugar. Then mix it up with the liquid from one car battery.
Has gen z jumped the shark?
Maybe just stir some pixie sticks into a half cup of water
20ml of white vinegar in 500ml of clear grape juice?
They used to make an unleaded monster.
But the flavour profile of most cans is salt water taffies if that helps.
That'd really be great. I'd love making red bull cocktails without caffeine in them
