Originally released exclusively for athletes, US-based C4 Energy has unveiled C4 Liquid Gold, the 'world's first' champagne-bottled energy drink in an exclusive limited-edition new flavour.

C4 Liquid Gold contains 200mg of caffeine, alongside CarnoSyn beta-alanine for performance, BetaPower betaine, and B vitamins. It comes in a 24oz champagne bottle rather than a 16oz can, complete with gold foiling. The flavour is described as a ‘zesty, citrusy experience'.

C4, headquartered in Texas, US, is part of the global health and wellness company Nutrabolt. Nutrabolt's portfolio also includes pre-workout brands such as Xtend and Cellucor.

C4 Liquid Gold is 'incredibly limited,' with consumers needing to sign up to a waitlist to be notified when it is available for purchase. It is priced at $44.44.
