The start of a new year sparks fresh motivation to be more and do more, and Misfit Energy's Your Year 2026 is a fun, limited-edition energy drink flavor that taps into a collective sense of freshness, excitement and possibility. Uniquely, this energy drink boasts a non-alcoholic Champagne Bellini-inspired flavor that's said to be reminiscent of a "light, sweet, and sparkling drink with prominent notes of peach and cream, though some consumers have noted a surprising underlying grapefruit or citrus taste."
In terms of the formula, the energy drink shares what Misfit Energy customers expect: two grams of straight citrulline for performance, 100 mg of Alphawave theanine, 250 mg of Cognizin, and 225 mg of caffeine.
