Ingredients & Product Questions

What mushrooms are included?

Each bottle of Shroom Soda® contains extracts of Lion's Mane, Reishi, Turkey Tail, and Cordyceps mushrooms. Mushroom Mocktails™ are crafted with Lion's Mane, Chaga, and Reishi.

Are the mushrooms organic? Where are they sourced from?

Our mushrooms are sourced across the US and Canada, based on availability. Sometimes sourced from other global sources when necessary. We always strive to source the best mushrooms possible, grown organically, wild harvested and/or grown using sustainable agro forestry. This applies to both our Shroom Soda® and Mushroom Mocktails™ lines.

Why is there residue or sediment in the elixir?

A small amount of natural mushroom residue may remain from the extraction process. This is normal and reflects the botanical nature of Shroom Soda® and Mushroom Mocktails™ alike. If the residue is the stevia beginning to clump together, simply add the bottle to a cup of hot water for about 10 mins and it should dissolve again!

How are Shroom Soda and Mushroom Mocktails™ sweetened and flavoured?

Both lines are sweetened with stevia and flavoured with naturally derived plant-based concentrates. Ingredients are non-GMO, vegan, kosher, and organic whenever possible.

Does Shroom Soda® or Mushroom Mocktails™ contain sugar or artificial ingredients?

No. Neither Shroom Soda® nor Mushroom Mocktails™ contain sugar or artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

How to Use It

How do I use Shroom Soda® or Mushroom Mocktails™?

Add 1–2 droppers to sparkling water, still water, tea, coffee, or your favourite mushroom mocktail. Adjust to taste. For a mocktail, try shaking with ice, fresh citrus, or muddled herbs before topping with sparkling water and serving in a nice glass—or start with Mushroom Mocktails™, already crafted to shine in a glass on its own.

Do I have to dilute it?

Yes. Both Shroom Soda® and Mushroom Mocktails™ are highly concentrated elixirs and must be diluted. We recommend mixing with sparkling water over ice.

Can I use it with still water instead of sparkling water?

Yes. When using still water and ice, we recommend using slightly less concentrate, as the flavour can taste stronger without carbonation. This applies to both Shroom Soda® and Mushroom Mocktails™.

How many servings are there per bottle?

Each 60 ml bottle (Shroom Soda® or Mushroom Mocktails™) contains about 30 servings, based on a recommended serving size of 2 ml. You may get more or fewer servings depending on your flavour preference.

Can I drink more than one serving per day?

Shroom Soda® and Mushroom Mocktails™ are designed for enjoyment as part of your daily routine. Individual preferences may vary, but we recommend up to 3 servings per day.

Taste & Flavours

Can this replace soda or alcohol?

Many customers enjoy Shroom Soda® as a flavourful, zero-sugar alternative to soda, and Mushroom Mocktails™ as a ready-made (Low/non-alcoholic beverage) option for social settings, perfect for anyone looking to skip the alcoholic drinks without skipping the ritual of a well-made, enjoyable drink.

Does Vintage Cola taste like Coke or Pepsi?

Vintage Cola (Shroom Soda®) is inspired by traditional cola flavours. Taste perception varies from person to person. Looking for something more cocktail-inspired? Try Mushroom Mocktails™ in Piña Colada, Bliss Spritz, or Sangria.

I don't like sweet drinks. Which flavour should I try?

If you prefer a less sweet profile, Lemon Lime (Shroom Soda®) has the least stevia. Vintage Cola with a squeeze of fresh lemon is also popular for a more balanced taste. Within Mushroom Mocktails™, Bliss Spritz tends to be the lightest, least-sweet option.

Why does Lemon Lime look cloudy or have "floaties"?

This is normal for Lemon Lime (Shroom Soda®). We use real lemons and limes, which can create natural pulp residue.

If you notice white clumps, this may be the stevia. Place the bottle in a hot cup of water for 10 minutes and it should dissolve again. The same fix applies to any bottle showing stevia clumping.

Alcohol Content & Safety

Does the product contain alcohol?

A small amount of alcohol is used during the extraction process for both Shroom Soda® and Mushroom Mocktails™. When mixed as directed, the final beverage contains approximately 0.12% ABV—typically, under 0.5% ABV is considered a non-alcoholic beverage.

Is it safe to drink before driving?

Yes. The alcohol content in Shroom Soda® and Mushroom Mocktails™ is minimal and has no intoxicating effect when consumed as directed.

Can kids drink it?

We recommend consulting your child's healthcare provider before use of either Shroom Soda® or Mushroom Mocktails™.

Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
