When it comes to creating products that resonate with both the taste buds and the current trends, Green Monké is a true pioneer in the beverage industry. For years, we’ve been delivering exciting flavors, blending exotic ingredients with top-quality craftsmanship to produce drinks that stand out—both in taste and innovation.
Long before "functional beverages" and "exotic fruits" became buzzwords in trending drink conversations, Green Monké was already perfecting a product lineup that captured those very qualities. From Tropical Citrus highlighting yuzu to Orange Passionfruit showcasing the undeniable appeal of passionfruit, we’ve continually set the stage for what’s cool and refreshing. But ahead of being trendy, one truth has guided us from the beginning—great taste and quality will always be in style.
Exotic flavors are having their moment, no doubt. Data from an industry report highlights how consumer demand for unique, health-conscious beverages is driving the popularity of ingredients like yuzu, passionfruit, and guava. Beverage-makers are incorporating these fruits for their nutritional benefits and ability to elevate flavor profiles in ways that are both exciting and approachable.
Yuzu, for instance, has grown from a relatively unknown fruit to a staple in many mainstream products today. Known for its zesty, bright flavor, it has become synonymous with sophisticated, health-oriented beverages. Similarly, passionfruit’s sweet, tangy notes continue to delight consumers looking for adventure in their sipping routines. Meanwhile, guava, with its tropical sweetness, has become a drink ingredient scene-stealer.
But while many brands are just catching on to the trend, Green Monké was infusing bold, global tastes into our Happy Sodas long before the rest of the market jumped on board.
When Green Monké introduced its flagship Tropical Citrus in 2018, featuring the now-iconic Japanese citrus fruit, yuzu, we faced a unique challenge. At the time, yuzu wasn’t a well-known flavor outside of certain culinary niches. We’d often find ourselves explaining, “What is yuzu?”—but it didn’t hold us back.
Despite being relatively unknown, Tropical Citrus stood out. At its core, the drink wasn’t attempting to ride any wave. It was designed, taste-first, to deliver pure refreshment. And it worked. Green Monké Tropical Citrus went on to be voted the Best-Tasting THC Drink in California in both 2021 and 2022 and was recognized as one of the Top 20 Edibles in the U.S. in 2022 and 2023.
Our philosophy of leading with an innovative palette—with a focus on quality—proved that stepping outside the mainstream pays off. Even before yuzu became a "trendy" fruit, Green Monké gave people their first taste of an unforgettable flavor.
Fast forward to 2024, and another Green Monké drink, Orange Passionfruit, is making waves. This time in the Canadian market! This drink was named The Best Low-Dose THC Drink in Canada, thanks to its impeccable balance and crowd-pleasing flavor.
Again, passionfruit wasn’t chosen because it became suddenly trendy—it was chosen because it simply tastes amazing. A perfect pairing of tart and sweet, it adds depth and tropical delight to any drink it touches. What makes Green Monké unique is that we’ve been including passionfruit in our flavor wheel long before it joined industry trend reports.
Green Monké has always stayed committed to the principle that thoughtfully crafted, delicious flavors will resonate with audiences. Accolades like this summer’s Canadian honor only reaffirm that when you pour love and precision into your formulas, the rewards arrive.
Then there’s our Green Monké Mango Guava —another favorite! Guava has experienced a renaissance recently, reclaiming its position as a darling of tropical flavor enthusiasts. But while its cool factor reinvigorates beverage shelves across the globe, we’re proud to say Mango Guava was already carrying the guava torch before its second wave of stardom arrived.
Guava’s juicy sweetness paired with the richness of mango gives Mango Guava its legendary status. Add in a commitment to low sugar content, and you’ve got a drink that balances health and indulgence in a way only Green Monké can deliver.
The Green Monké story is about more than exotic flavors. It’s about a vision that’s grounded in delivering exceptional beverages, regardless of the trends of the moment. Here are just a few reasons why focusing on taste and quality will always set Green Monké apart in the industry and delight drink lovers everywhere:
Every ingredient we choose—whether it’s yuzu, passionfruit, guava or blue raspberry —is more than just a trendy add-on. These fruits connect to cultures, histories, and experiences that resonate deeply with our audiences.
Today’s consumers are more health-conscious than ever, and we keep that at the forefront of our Happy Soda formulas. By using natural sweetness from fruit and keeping added sugar to a minimum, we create drinks that you can enjoy guilt-free.
Green Monke’s products came to life not to check a trend box but to deliver the best-tasting drinks possible. That approach just happens to set us apart.
By infusing our drinks with THC instead of alcohol, we are glad to also be leading this health and wellness movement.
From numerous awards to customer love, Green Monké’s unique blend of adventurous flavors and premium ingredients has been validated time and time again. And we’re only just getting started.
Beverage trends are constantly evolving, but the desire for drinks that deliver impeccable flavor, quality, and functionality is here to stay. Whether you’re a foodie looking to expand your palate or a wellness enthusiast seeking better options, Green Monké has something innovative waiting for you.
Looking ahead, Green Monké will continue to explore bold flavor combinations without losing sight of what matters most—making beverages that bring people joy.
Because at the end of the day, that’s what Green Monké is about. Creating functional drinks that satisfy cravings, adapt to lifestyles and, pardon the pun, make people happy.
