Monster Rio Punch is a carbonated energy drink from the company’s Juiced Monster product line. The flavor is a blend of exotic fruit, including papaya, mango, and a hint of spice, inspired by the Carnival of Rio de Janeiro. The Monster Energy website describes the flavor as a mix of “sweet papaya, vanilla ice cream, [and a] hint of black currant”. Some have compared the flavor to that of other Monster energy drinks, such as Khaotic and Pacific Punch, but with a sweeter, more candy-like profile.
