We achieved this by sweetening our drinks with a special blend of thaumatin and monk fruit extract.
Thaumatin is a natural protein sweetener found in the West African katemfe fruit, used for hundreds of years¹
It works by binding your sweet taste receptors, TAS1R2 and TAS1R3. It binds to a different location on those receptors than sucrose, giving a building sweetness distinct from sugar, while metabolizing like a protein.
Monk fruit (luo han guo) has been used for centuries² as a natural sweetener and as Chinese medicine. It provides the initial sweetness in our drinks with potential health benefits to boot³.

Mood enhancer, cognitive enhancer, stress reliever. May also improve sleep quality.
Essential vitamin used in cell metabolism, red blood cell formation, and nerve function. May be deficient in certain vegan or vegetarian diets.
Material that your body doesn’t digest, but can help sustain healthy levels of blood cholesterol or glucose, which can help prevent heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers.
All of these ingredients make Weekend Soda the best beverage we can offer - after all, your weekends are guilt-free; your drinks should be too.
Keep rocking in the free world
