On the hunt for a healthy caffeinated drink that actually tastes good? Quit scouring the grocery store shelves and get your hands on Marquis Citrus Yuzu.
Refreshing, zesty, and completely addicting – one sip of this OG Marquis flavor will taste like a crisp gulp of lime soda (without all the sugar, additives, and acids).
If you’ve already tried the Marquis Citrus Yuzu, then you know what we’re talking about. If you haven’t, well, we’re going to try and convince you in today’s blog post… Stay tuned!
What is Citrus Yuzu Made Of?
Excellent question, my friend! Citrus can mean a lot of things, so what is it? Lime? Lemon? Grapefruit? Orange? Tangerine?
Our drink is made to reflect the zesty-ness of yuzu, lime, and tangerine. Aside from our tri-blend caffeine, this bestseller features a bunch of plant-based, guilt-free ingredients to achieve that mouthwatering flavor. Here are the ones worthy of note:
Now Tell Me: What is a Yuzu?
It’s fair to say that most people don’t know what the yuzu fruit is. If that sounds familiar, don’t sweat. The yuzu is a bit unconventional in the Western dining scene (however, it won’t be for long).
Originating from China or Korea — yet associated most often with Japanese cuisine — the yuzu is a hybrid citrus fruit that is both fragrant and sour. Somewhat of a cross between a papeda and a mandarin orange, it looks kind of like a tangerine. Also, because yuzus typically have less juice than other citrus fruits, they are more expensive than say lemon or an orange.
So, what does the yuzu fruit taste like?
… Well, aren’t we glad you asked! Yuzu is incredibly sour and tastes a bit like a tangy lemon crossed with a bitter grapefruit and a sweet orange. Its flavor profile has both floral and herbal notes, and it packs a powerful aroma that yields a zesty, honeysuckle-like fragrance.
What Does Marquis Citrus Yuzu Taste Like?
Alright, we know what you’re thinking. No healthy caffeinated drink tastes good, right? In the world of Red Bulls and the Caramel Frappuccino, we’ve all been taught that unhealthy drinks taste delicious and the healthier versions taste, well, not as delicious.
… Of course, this was before you got your hands on Marquis Citrus Yuzu.
Encapsulating the multifaceted flavor of the yuzu, this energy drink is zesty, somewhat sour, and incredibly refreshing. We like to compare the flavor of Citrus Yuzu to a Fresca or Squirt Soda (but of course, without all that added stuff you don’t want).

Best Citrus Cocktails
If you’re headed out for a night on the town, Marquis Citrus Yuzu has got you covered. Aside from being your morning pick-me-up, this caffeinated drink is ideal for making nutritious, adult-only concoctions.
One of our favorites? The Marqito. Combine two parts rum with 3 parts Marquis Citrus Yuzu for an already energetic cocktail that comes with an additional kick. Oh, and then remember what Mojito maven Ernest Hemingway once said:
“Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut!”
Not a Mojito fan? No problem. The Marqosmo is a Cosmopolitan variation made with 2 parts vodka, 3 parts Marquis Citrus Yuzu, and 1 part cranberry juice. (Also very yum.)
