GHOST ENERGY added A&W Root Beer to the lineup, the brand's first team-up with the root beer name that's been pouring since 1919.
GHOST® ENERGY is adding a massive new name to its collab resume: A&W® Root Beer. It's the brand's first-ever team-up with the century-old root beer name, bringing a nostalgic soda-fountain flavor to GHOST's 200mg natural caffeine energy drink in 12-pack cases. The Root Beer flavor drops as a limited-time offering, so it's built for fans who move fast.
We've covered GHOST Energy's full formula before, so we won't rehash it here. Same zero-sugar, 15-calorie can, same 1,000mg Carnipure® L-Carnitine L-Tartrate, 200mg natural caffeine, and full daily values of Vitamin C, B6, and B12 that have made GHOST Energy a category mainstay.
Root Beer isn't the brand's first trip through the soda aisle either. GHOST already went the classic-soda route with 7UP Lemon Lime GHOST Energy, and this new flavor keeps that trend going.
Since this is a limited-time release, the calendar matters. GHOST's Secure-A-Can early-access window opens August 6th from 12 to 1pm CT exclusively through the brand's app and website, with nationwide retail arriving August 31st. Miss both dates, and a restock is never guaranteed.

A&W® Root Beer: Nostalgic Flavor, No Sugar Crash
A&W has been serving its root beer since 1919, when Roy Allen opened a root beer stand in Lodi, California. Over a century later, the flavor hasn't needed much updating: warm vanilla and wintergreen up front, a hint of sarsaparilla, and the smooth, almost creamy finish that made root beer floats a diner staple long before RTD energy drinks existed.
GHOST brings that same nostalgic character to a 16oz can, one full serving of the brand's zero-sugar formula. There's no need to split-dose here. Crack it open, and the entire 200mg of natural caffeine and the rest of the formula comes in one can. If you grew up ordering a frosty mug at a drive-in, this is the flavor memory GHOST is chasing, just with the caffeine where the ice cream used to be.
Ingredients Recap
We covered GHOST Energy's full formula, citations included, in our GHOST Energy Drink deep dive. Here's the quick version of what's in every can, Root Beer included:
- Carnipure® L-Carnitine L-Tartrate – 1,000mg: A well-absorbed form of L-carnitine tied to how the body processes fat for fuel. It's the same dose GHOST Energy has always used.
- Natural Caffeine – 200mg: Sourced from coffee beans, this is the main driver behind the can's energy kick, dosed identically to every other GHOST Energy flavor.
- Taurine – 1,000mg: A staple amino acid in energy drinks, included here to round out the formula's focus and endurance angle.
- Alpha-GPC (50%) – 150mg: A choline source that supports mental focus, working alongside caffeine and NeuroFactor for GHOST's "epic focus" claim.
- NeuroFactor™ – 100mg: A coffee fruit extract GHOST uses across its energy lineup for a mental-clarity boost beyond straight caffeine.
- AstraGin® – 25mg: An absorption-support blend meant to help the body take up the other actives more efficiently.
Same formula, new can art. For the citations and full ingredient science, the GHOST Energy breakdown has it all.
All Ghost Energy Flavors Available
A&W® Root Beer joins GHOST Energy's lineup as a limited-time offering.
Here's an up-to-date list of all GHOST Energy flavors:
Two Windows to Grab This Flavor
GHOST Energy x 7UP Lemon Lime went permanent. Zero sugar, 200mg natural caffeine, and the crisp lemon-lime taste you already know -- now in a can that actually does something.
GHOST Energy x A&W® Root Beer marks the brand's first team-up with the century-old root beer name, and it isn't sticking around. The Secure-A-Can window opens August 6th from 12 to 1pm CT through GHOST's app and website, with the flavor hitting shelves nationwide on August 31st.
Nothing about the formula changes here. You're still getting 200mg of natural caffeine, 1,000mg of Carnipure® L-Carnitine L-Tartrate, and the rest of the stack that's kept GHOST Energy in rotation. Root Beer just wraps that formula in a new, nostalgic can.
Sign up for GHOST Energy alerts so you don't miss the Secure-A-Can window, and check PricePlow for where to find it once it lands. Curious how GHOST built an energy drink business worth talking about? Dan Lourenço broke it down for us back in 2023.
And after 7UP and now A&W, we've got one request for the brand's next soda pull: Dr Pepper GHOST Energy, please!!
