Monty was founded by Sally Williams after a concussion that changed how she thought about what she put in her body. The brand sits in the growing functional drinks space, combining familiar elderflower flavour with a trio of adaptogenic mushrooms: Lion's Mane for focus, Reishi for calm, and Maitake for balance. It's a grown-up proposition that makes no attempt to impersonate an alcoholic drink — it's simply a very good soft drink with something extra going on. The elderflower is clean and not overly sweet, with a light floral quality and a gentle sparkle. There's no mushroom earthiness or aftertaste; the extracts are blended in a way that leaves the flavour profile intact. What you get is something bright, easy to sip, and more interesting than a standard elderflower pressé. It comes in 250ml cans, which makes it well-suited to occasions where you want something in hand. Whether the functional benefits come through meaningfully at the dosage in each can is a separate question, but as a drink it stands up regardless. Available as singles or in multi-packs.
