Lucky Jack Coffee is a boutique coffee brand specializing in hand-crafted and small-batch cold brew beverages. The company offers a range of RTD nitrogen-infused cold brew drinks, including nitro cold brew coffee lattes. In addition, the brand prides itself on implementing sustainable harvesting methods and producing 100% organic coffee.
Recently, Lucky Jack Coffee announced that it will be utilizing alternative sweeteners monk fruit and erythritol in its newest nitro latte SKUs. Now the 80-calorie canned coffee beverage will derive its sweetness from a combination of cane sugar, monk fruit, and erythritol. For those unfamiliar, monk fruit is an emerging all-natural sweetener extracted from a melon-like fruit that is native to China and Thailand. Meanwhile, erythritol is a sugar alcohol that contains approximately 5% of the calories found in sugar.
