Think you’re grabbing a boost of energy? You might be throwing back a shot of vodka instead. High Noon just issued a nationwide recall after discovering that some of its alcoholic Vodka Seltzer cans were mislabeled as energy drinks. Yep — you read that right. That fizzy “Sparkling Blue Razz” energy drink might pack a boozy punch you didn’t bargain for.
⚠️ What Happened?
High Noon says a packaging mix-up led to alcohol-filled cans ending up in Celsius ASTRO VIBE™ Energy Drink labels. These rogue cans were tucked inside High Noon Beach Variety 12-packs, and some even made it to store shelves.
So far, no injuries or booze-fueled mishaps have been reported — but you can bet this could lead to some very unintentional day drinking.
🕵️♀️ How to Spot a Boozy Can:
The affected cans look like your typical Celsius Sparkling Blue Razz Edition, but with a twist — they have silver lids instead of the usual black. Check the lot codes on the bottom of the can:
🧃 Celsius ASTRO VIBE Energy Drink Cans
- UPC: 8 89392 00134 1
- Lot codes: L CCB 02JL25 2:55 to 3:11
- Silver lid = suspicious!
🍹 High Noon Beach Variety Packs
- UPC: 085000040065
- Lot codes on outer box:
- L CCC 17JL25 14:00 – 23:59
- L CCC 18JL25 00:00 – 03:00
The tainted packs were shipped out between July 21–23, 2025 to distributors in FL, MI, NY, OH, OK, SC, VA & WI, and landed on store shelves in FL, NY, OH, SC, VA & WI.
🚫 What Should You Do?
- DO NOT drink it.
Just because it says “energy drink” doesn’t mean it’s safe to chug at the gym or before class.
- Check the lid and lot code.
Silver lid? Lot code match? Toss it.

🧠 Pro Tip for Parents & Teens:
If your teen brings home an “energy drink,” make sure it’s not a High Noon in disguise. This mix-up could lead to unintentional underage drinking.
This recall was launched with the knowledge of both the FDA and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, so it’s the real deal.
💥 Bottom Line: If your Celsius has a silver top, stop and check the code. What you think is a caffeine kick might actually be a cocktail.
