Miami Punch. Orange d’Or. What else could they be, other than two of the flavours offered by Más+, a new sports drink released by Inter Miami and Argentina star Lionel Messi.
News of Messi’s impending beverage first broke last month when it was reported that the 36-year-old would be the face of a “next-generation sports drink”, the latest in his mounting off-field commercial interests. He is the founder of the The Más+ Next Generation Beverage Co., which will produce the creatively named new drink.
The drink will be available in four flavours, each of which makes reference to his illustrious career: Miami Punch, Orange d’Or, Berry Copa Crush, Limon Lime League.

“Hydration is essential to overall wellbeing. I believe everyone deserves a drink with amazing ingredients and taste,” reads a quote on the company website, attributed to Messi. “Más+ is a drink I’m proud to share with family and friends. Because everyone deserves to feel like a champion in every part of their life.”
Where can I buy Lionel Messi’s Más+ sports drink?
At the moment, you can’t. But the first packs of the covetable cans will be available to buy later this month, initially on a limit scale. Here’s a look at the timetable for Messi’s Más+ drinks…
How to buy Messi's Mas+ sports drink
13 June – Limited supply available in select Miami stores14 June – Individual bottles and variety packs available to buy online and through retailers in South Florida, including Publix and Walmart. July – Variety packs of 12x 12oz cans available to purchase throughout the US. August – Retail options to expand accross the US and global markets added.
There will likely be a huge demand for the drinks, similar to the PRIME energy drinks released by YouTube personalities Logan Paul and KSI in 2022. In fact, Messi’s new product does share a striking resemblance to the colourful, ribbed PRIME bottles that sparked a huge rush on their release.
