Monster Energy has launched a nitrous oxide-infused cold brew beverage under its coffee-based line called Java Monster. Java Monster Cold Brew is available in two flavours: latte and sweet black. The new offerings contain no added sugar, reduced-fat milk and 10 calories per serving. "Entering the market with this convenient and great tasting coffee + energy, Java Monster Cold Brew is a unity of opposites – bold yet subtly sweet, powerful yet refined," said Monster Energy's spokesperson. "Monster's nitro cold brew has a full-bodied flavour without the acidic bite of traditional iced coffee, owing its sweetness to the nitrous (N2) bubbles that add that special taste." Java Monster Cold Brew is available at grocery stores across the US.
