BLU Energy Drink introduces its full product lineup and new direct-to-consumer platform following availability in more than 40 countries worldwide.

Los Angeles, CA — January 7, 2026 — BLU Energy Drink, a globally established energy beverage brand with availability in more than 40 countries worldwide, today announced the official launch of its full brand and complete product lineup in the United States. The launch marks BLU's formal entry into the U.S. market, bringing its internationally recognized energy drinks directly to American consumers for the first time.

Founded in Europe, BLU Energy Drink has built a strong global presence through its balanced formulation, bold flavor profiles, and lifestyle-driven branding. Rather than introducing a limited test offering, BLU is launching its entire brand experience in the U.S., including its full flavor lineup, new multi-pack formats, and updated packaging designed specifically for the American market.

"After years of global growth, the United States was the natural next step for BLU," said a BLU Energy Drink spokesperson. "This launch represents the arrival of the full BLU brand, our flavors, formulation, and identity—now available to U.S. consumers."

A Global Brand Enters the U.S. Market

BLU Energy Drink was founded in Europe and expanded internationally before entering the United States, growing to more than 40 countries worldwide. The U.S. launch reflects a strategic move into one of the world's most competitive beverage markets, supported by the brand's established international track record.

With the launch of its direct-to-consumer platform, BLU now offers direct-to-consumer access across the U.S., providing a centralized platform for product information, brand storytelling, and online purchasing.

A Balanced Energy Experience

BLU Energy Drink is formulated with approximately 80 mg of caffeine per 250 mL can, comparable to a strong cup of coffee, delivering a smooth and balanced energy experience designed to support focus and alertness without excessive stimulation.

Made with real sugarcane sugar, each can is fortified with essential B-vitamins, supporting BLU's focus on balanced, everyday energy. BLU also offers a Sugar Free can as part of its core flavor lineup.

Formulated with Essential B-Vitamins

BLU Energy Drink is formulated with essential B-vitamins, including Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid), Vitamin B6, and Vitamin B12. These vitamins support normal energy metabolism by helping the body convert food into usable energy.

The inclusion of B-vitamins complements BLU's balanced caffeine content and reflects the brand's emphasis on delivering a smooth, consistent energy experience.

Made with Sugarcane Sugar

BLU Energy Drink flavors are made with sugarcane sugar, offering a clean and familiar sweetener rather than high-fructose syrup. This approach aligns with BLU's focus on formulation balance and taste without over-sweetening.

Zero Sugar Option

BLU Energy Drink also offers a Zero Sugar option for consumers seeking an energy drink without sugar. The Zero Sugar formulation delivers the same balanced caffeine content as the rest of the lineup, providing a no-sugar alternative within the brand's core offerings.

Full U.S. Flavor Lineup

As part of its U.S. launch, BLU Energy Drink is introducing its complete seven-flavor lineup, offering variety across classic, fruit-forward, and zero-sugar options:

  • Watermelon – Bright, juicy, and refreshing
  • Grape – Bold and smooth with a classic fruit profile
  • Cranberry – Tart and crisp with a clean finish
  • Mojito – Citrus-forward with a refreshing mint twist
  • BLU Day – Light and smooth, designed for everyday energy
  • Classic – A traditional energy drink flavor with balanced sweetness
  • Zero Sugar – Clean energy with zero sugar and zero calories

Launch of Direct-to-Consumer Platform

The launch of the direct-to-consumer platform marks BLU Energy Drink's official U.S. digital debut and serves as the central hub for the brand's American market.

Through the platform, consumers can explore BLU's global brand story, learn about its formulation and ingredients, and purchase products directly. The platform also supports future U.S. initiatives, including collaborations, limited releases, and experiential marketing campaigns planned throughout 2026.

All-New U.S. Packaging and Multi-Pack Formats

Coinciding with the U.S. brand launch, BLU Energy Drink is introducing all-new 4-pack and 12-pack packaging, designed specifically for the American market and direct-to-consumer sales.

Available Pack Options

4-Packs – Designed for discovery and first-time consumers. Available for $9.99

12-Packs – Ideal for repeat customers and everyday consumption. Available for $29.99

12-Pack Variety Pack – A curated assortment representing BLU's core lineup

Each Variety Pack includes:

  • 2× Cranberry
  • 2× Mojito
  • 2× Classic
  • 2× Watermelon
  • 2× Grape
  • 2× Zero Sugar

All pack formats are available at launch through the direct-to-consumer platform.

Expanding into Live Shopping and Social Commerce

As part of its U.S. growth strategy, BLU Energy Drink plans to expand into live shopping and social commerce platforms, including Whatnot and TikTok Shop. These channels are intended to complement BLU's direct-to-consumer platform by offering interactive product showcases, real-time engagement, and new ways for consumers to experience the brand.

Designed for Lifestyle and Culture

BLU Energy Drink's identity is rooted in nightlife, music, sports, and creator culture—an influence shaped by its European origins and global presence. As the brand expands across the United States, BLU plans to activate through events, venue partnerships, and cultural collaborations aligned with its energy-forward lifestyle.

About BLU Energy Drink

BLU Energy Drink began as a European energy beverage brand and expanded internationally, building momentum across multiple global markets prior to entering the United States. The brand's international growth was shaped by a focus on balanced caffeine formulation, bold flavor profiles, and lifestyle-driven branding that resonated across diverse consumer markets.

BLU Energy Drink U.S. operations are headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, with distribution centers in both Chicago and Los Angeles, supporting nationwide fulfillment and operational scale. This infrastructure allows BLU to service direct-to-consumer demand while supporting future retail and on-premise partnerships across the country.

With its U.S. launch underway, BLU Energy Drink continues to expand its presence while maintaining active operations across global markets. The U.S. rollout represents a strategic extension of the brand's international footprint, reinforcing BLU's long-term growth across both domestic and global channels.
