Monster Energy is kicking off the new year with a fresh take on the iconic green can that started it all. Introducing Monster Energy Strawberry Shot, a bold and refreshing new way to enjoy the legendary OG Monster flavor, now with an added shot of strawberry that pumps up taste.

The team explored the simple but revolutionary idea inspired by the popular dirty soda trend -- what if someone took classic Monster and added a shot of flavor on top? According to the company, after testing a variety of combinations, one rose above the rest: the Strawberry Shot.

The result is a drink that stays true to Monster's original profile but delivers a smooth, subtly sweet strawberry lift. It's the same iconic energy blend, the same unmistakable feeling, now with a twist that elevates the experience.

Monster Energy Strawberry Shot makes its first major public appearance at Anaheim 1 Supercross on January 10, where fans will be among the very first to experience it at the highly charged season opener, featuring dedicated sampling zones, athlete integrations and a FanFest takeover.

With 160mg of caffeine, the classic Monster Energy blend and a legendary flavor profile built on the brand's heritage, Monster Energy Strawberry Shot is available in both full calorie and Zero Sugar varieties at stores nationwide.
