Alani Nu Voodoo Vanilla: Where to Buy, Price and What It Is

Voodoo Vanilla costs $24.99 for a 12 pack on Alani Nu’s site — and it sold out there within hours of launching. The fall range went live at noon ET on 12 August 2026; by mid-afternoon the page had a “notify me” button where the cart button should be.

Before you go hunting for it elsewhere, one thing worth knowing: this is not a normal Alani energy drink. It is the brand’s first “Energy Elixir”, it comes in a mini can, and it has 65mg of caffeine rather than the usual 200mg.

What is Alani Nu Voodoo Vanilla?

A mini energy elixir with whipped cream and marshmallow flavour — Alani’s first product in that format. Alani describes it as “our first-ever Alani energy elixir”, designed to work on its own or mixed into another drink.

It is gluten free, vegan and carries B vitamins, in line with the rest of the range.

The flavour brief is whipped cream and marshmallow. Alani’s own suggestion is to pair it with Witch’s Brew or Ruby Apple for what it calls “a creamy caramel apple twist” — which tells you the elixir is being sold at least partly as a mixer rather than a standalone can.

How much caffeine is in Voodoo Vanilla?

65mg — under a third of what a standard Alani can contains. This is the detail most likely to catch people out, so it is worth putting side by side.

Both figures are from Alani’s own product pages, checked the same afternoon.

Alani puts a caffeine ceiling on the page itself, which is unusual enough to quote directly: when mixing with Alani Energy or other caffeinated beverages, it says to ensure total daily caffeine intake does not exceed 400mg. Take its own pairing suggestion literally — one elixir plus one Witch’s Brew — and you are at 265mg before anything else in your day.

How much does Voodoo Vanilla cost?

$24.99 for 12 on Alani’s site, five dollars less than the standard flavours. Witch’s Brew, Cotton Candy, Strawberry Sunrise and Sherbet Swirl are all $29.99 for a 12 pack.

That five dollars is not a discount — and now that the volumes are on the record, it is the opposite. When this article was first published Alani’s product pages gave no can size, so we refused to print a per-ounce figure. The brand’s own announcement does give them: the elixir is an 8.4 oz can and Witch’s Brew’s standard format is 12 oz.

Run the numbers and the cheaper pack is the more expensive drink:

You pay about 19% more per ounce for the elixir, not less. The five-dollar gap is smaller than the size gap, which is the trap in any “cheaper pack” of a smaller format — and the caffeine gap is wider still, 65mg against 200mg.

Where can you buy Alani Nu Voodoo Vanilla?

Three places, and no others — the brand’s own announcement is explicit about it. Alani’s press release of 10 August says Voodoo Vanilla is “available exclusively through AlaniNu.com, Amazon and The Vitamin Shoppe while supplies last.” That word exclusively is doing real work: it is why you will not find this flavour in the shops that carry the rest of the brand.

AlaniNu.com — $24.99, still sold out a day later. The site’s own product data returns the flavour as unavailable, twenty-four hours after the noon launch. The notify-me signup is the only action the page offers.

The Vitamin Shoppe — $29.99, and the offline route worth knowing. This is the addition since we first published: the page now loads, and it prices the same 12-pack at $29.99, five dollars above Alani’s own. Online it shows out of stock and “product unavailable for delivery” — but the page still offers a store selector for pick-up, which is checked branch by branch rather than nationally. If you want this in a physical shop, that selector is the tool, and it is the only one of the three channels with a shop behind it. The listing also caps orders at six.

One oddity worth flagging rather than resolving: The Vitamin Shoppe badges the product “only at The Vitamin Shoppe”, which sits awkwardly beside the brand naming three channels. Both statements are on the record, from the two parties selling the thing, and we are not going to adjudicate between them.

Amazon — named by the brand, not priced here. Alani lists it as one of the three. No Amazon figure appears in this article because this connection is served a non-US currency by Amazon, and converting it would produce a made-up number wearing a dollar sign.

Where can you buy the rest of the fall range?

Everywhere the brand normally sells — the exclusivity applies to Voodoo Vanilla only. This is the useful part if you have missed the elixir, and it comes from the same announcement.

Witch’s Brew, in both formats, and the Potion Pack variety pack that contains Ruby Apple, “will roll out nationwide in grocery, convenience and specialty retailers.” So the two flavours you can still get in a physical shop are the returning green-apple one and the candy-apple one, and the ordinary supermarket and convenience channel carries them.

The formats differ too, and one of them is a trap. Voodoo Vanilla is the 8.4 oz can with 65mg of caffeine. Witch’s Brew comes in two sizes with different caffeine — 200mg in the 12 oz can, 100mg in the 8.4 oz — so “a can of Witch’s Brew” is two different amounts depending on which one you pick up. Ruby Apple is not sold on its own at all: it comes only inside the Potion Pack, a 12-can box of six Witch’s Brew and six Ruby Apple.

Which shops actually have it

Target, Walmart, Kroger and The Vitamin Shoppe all list the fall range, and Target is cheaper than Alani’s own store. These are the listings we could read directly on 13 August.

Target is the one to look at first. Its Witch’s Brew variety pack — 12 cans of 12 oz — was $23.49 and in stock, with order pickup and same-day delivery. That is $6.50 below the $29.99 Alani charges for a 12-pack on its own site, and per ounce it works out 34% cheaper than Voodoo Vanilla: $0.163 against $0.248.

Walmart lists the Potion Pack and single Witch’s Brew cans; Kroger lists Witch’s Brew six-packs and a fall variety pack, and the same listings appear at its Mariano’s banner. Prices at those three were not readable from here, so only Target’s is printed.

Watch the pack name, because no two retailers use the same one. The same 12-can fall box appears as a “Witch’s Brew Variety Pack” at Target, a “potion pack” at Walmart and a “Fall Favorites Energy Drink Variety Pack” at Kroger. Alani’s own name for it is the Potion Pack. Before you buy, check the can count and the flavour split in the listing rather than the name on it.

And the brand runs a locator built for exactly this question. Alani’s site has a dedicated “Find Witch’s Brew near you” page — a postcode product-locator, separate from its general store finder — which is the right tool for a physical shop near you. It will not help with Voodoo Vanilla, because no shop is supposed to have that one.

One verified negative, to show what “rolling out” looks like from the shelf: GNC still has none of the fall range. Its energy-drink listing carries a dozen Alani flavours and not one of Witch’s Brew, Ruby Apple or Voodoo Vanilla — checked twice on 13 August, several hours apart.

If you want the elixir specifically, the honest advice has not changed: set the notify-me alert on Alani’s page, and check The Vitamin Shoppe’s store picker rather than its delivery option.

Is Voodoo Vanilla limited edition?

Yes — it is part of Alani’s fall range, sold while supplies last. The same drop brought back Witch’s Brew, the green apple and caramel flavour that returns seasonally, and introduced Ruby Apple alongside it.

Witch’s Brew has 2,284 reviews on Alani’s site; Voodoo Vanilla has none, which is what a launch-day product looks like. If you are deciding between them, that asymmetry is worth knowing: one is a returning favourite with a track record, the other is a new format nobody has reviewed yet.

Bottom line

$24.99 for 12, 65mg of caffeine, whipped cream and marshmallow, and gone from Alani’s own site in an afternoon.

The single most useful thing to take away is that it is not a swap for your usual can. At 65mg it is a third of the caffeine, in a smaller can, designed partly to be poured into something else — and Alani’s own page tells you to watch the total if you do that.

For another drink that spends most of its life sold out, our guide to tracking down Baja Blast covers the same problem from the other end.
