Red Bull Fig Apple is a wintry burst of sweet refreshment

While everyone knows that Red Bull gives you wings, the limited-edition seasonal flavors allow the brand to soar to new flavors heights. For the new winter edition, Red Bull Fig Apple brings together sweet, crisp and juicy. From the slopes to the cozy couch, this winter beverage is a full flavored delight.

Red Bull has become a versatile beverage. While many people appreciate the caffeine boost, it is more than just a jolt of energy. Given that 7.9 billion cans of the brand were consumer in 2021, there is intense loyalty that has many people spreading their flavor choices beyond the signature beverage.

Over the years, the seasonal, limited edition flavors blend flavor trends and familiar notes. Whether it is watermelon, Strawberry Apricot, or the new fig apple, the idea is to give fans what they know but in a way that keeps it fresh.

For this year’s Winter Edition, the Red Bull Fig Apple has the crisp, sweet apple flavor. Skipping the tart notes, the apple is forward. While never that juice box from the school lunch, that approachable flavor is familiar.

By pairing it with the fig, the energy beverage has a touch of sophistication. A hint of juiciness, the fig might be the flavor that people cannot describe but rounds out the enjoyment.

Lastly, a hint of sweet caramel brings it all together. Just like caramel on apple and a sugar glaze on a fig, that additional flavor is never cloying but just the right connection to bring it all together. Overall, it can warm up a chilly day or satisfy in a snuggly moment.

What are some ways to shake up the Red Bull Fig Apple flavor?

Since Red Bull has evolved to become a mixer in addition to an energy drink, using it in mocktails and cocktails adds to the brand’s versatility. Whether drunk before hitting the slopes to get that epic line down the run to a celebratory cocktail after crossing the finish line, there are plenty of options to pour in the glass.

Red Bull has suggested two mocktails with its Fig Apple flavor, Spiced Honey Spritzer and Miso Pear Prickler. While neither of these beverages have alcohol, a shot or two could change it into a spirited libation.

Here’s how to make a Spiced Honey Spritzer

Ingredients:

• ¾ oz cinnamon rosemary honey syrup
• 1 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 bar spoon of red currant (or cranberry) preserves
• Red Bull Winter Edition Fig Apple
• Garnish: rosemary sprig

Directions

• Combine cinnamon rosemary honey syrup, lemon juice, and red currant preserves into a cocktail shaker. Shake with a good amount of ice until chilled. Double strain into a coupe glass and garnish with a fresh rosemary sprig.

Looking at this mocktail, the combination of sweet, bright and juicy is quite satisfying. While it might be hard to find red currant preserves, cranberry preserves are plentiful during the winter. This mocktail might be a great option to have on the Thanksgiving table or an option to use leftover cranberries.

Miso Pear Prickler

Ingredients:

• 1 oz miso-pear puree
• 3.4 oz thyme simple syrup
• 1 ½ oz freshly squeezed orange juice
• ½ oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
• Red Bull Winter Edition Fig Apple
• Garnish: Orange wheel and thyme sprig

Directions:

• Combine the miso-pear puree, thyme simple syrup, orange juice, and lemon juice into a cocktail shaker. Shake with a good amount of ice until chilled. Double strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice and garnish with an orange wheel and a thyme sprig.

For anyone who likes a little savory in their mocktail, the white miso in this drink is a highlight. Plus, the combination of pear, fig and apple is quite enjoyable. It brings together all the winter flavors.

The Red Bull Fig Apple is available at limited stores now. A wider release will come starting on October 31. It will be available for a limited time.
