US energy drink brand Gorgie has launched Rocket Pop Protein, a new summer-inspired flavour designed to evoke the taste of the classic red, white and blue ice lolly.

The new flavour combines cherry, citrus and berry notes and is formulated with 150mg of green tea caffeine per can. It also contains biotin, B vitamins and L-theanine, and is gluten-free and made without artificial sweeteners.

Michelle Cordeiro Grant, founder and CEO of Gorgie, said: "Rocket Pop Protein is everything we want summer to feel like nostalgic, fun, energetic and a little unexpected. Our community is always looking for flavours that feel exciting and memorable, and we wanted to create something that taps into that sense of nostalgia while still delivering the clean, functional energy Gorgie is known for."

Rocket Pop Protein will be available via the brand's websites and at Target stores across the US.
