Monster Ultra Black Returns: The Fan-Favorite Cherry Energy Is Back (But Only at Kroger)

One of Monster Energy’s most requested flavors is making a comeback—Ultra Black, the crisp and tart black cherry Zero Sugar classic, is officially returning in September 2025, but there’s a catch: it’ll be exclusive to Kroger stores.

This isn’t your average cherry energy drink. Originally released back in 2005, Monster Ultra Black quickly built a cult following for its slightly sweet, tart black cherry soda vibe—think cherry wine cooler with a sour mash finish. But by 2021, it started vanishing from shelves, leaving fans to hunt it down on eBay and niche distributors.

What’s Inside?

Each 16 fl oz can of Ultra Black delivers:

  • 150 mg of caffeine (about 1.5 cups of coffee)

  • 0g sugar

  • 10 calories

  • Light carbonation for a smooth sip

  • A blend of taurine, ginseng, L-carnitine, guarana, and B vitamins

Where to Get It

This fall, you’ll only find Ultra Black in-store at Kroger and affiliated chains. But if you're not near one, don’t worry—EnergyDrinkCity.com has it early. Use code KAITLYNKENNAFITNESS at checkout for 10% off.

Limited drops like this don’t last. Monster diehards know the deal—stock up or regret it.
