Health Benefits of Maple Syrup in a Drink!

Welcome to Maple X – your destination for great-tasting hydration!

The original recipe for Maple X dates back centuries – it’s a maple drink made from maple sap boiled to a concentration of 10% maple sugar.

A simple ingredient for a delicious, nutritious, all-natural drink.

Maple X offers you a healthy alternative to high-fructose corn syrup soft drinks and caffeine-infused energy drinks, because maple rates low on the glycemic index and is loaded with body-balancing minerals:

• Electrolytes and Polyphenols
• Antioxidants and Amino Acids
• Calcium and Magnesium
• And many more
Maple X was born out of the passion for making maple syrup – the time spent working with family, connecting with nature, and in a way, reuniting with a piece of Canadian history.

Impatience also played its role. During the time-consuming boiling process, I decided to test a sample of the intermediate sap-syrup solution. It turned out to be 10% maple sugar, consistent with your standard soft drinks.

I took a sip, and... Eureka! The drink had 
a delicious maple flavour blended delectably with sweetness.

I introduced it to friends and family, and they agreed, this delight needed to be shared far and wide. Within the year, Maple X Inc. was established with our first maple drinks being stocked in a local retailer.

We are now in 80 stores and eager to keep sharing this tasty, healthy gift from nature.

Four Distinct Maple Flavours

Taking a page from maple syrup grading standards, Maple X is offered in four flavours easily distinguished by their colour.

Early in the syrup season, when the weather is cool, the sap is lighter in colour and offers a mild maple taste. Later, with warmer days, maple trees produce a darker sap with a stronger, full-bodied flavour.

From subtle to powerful, each flavour offers its unique balance of maple and sweetness.

Sugar Shack Facts


Energy drink brands use caffeine and other stimulants to boost your energy, so although Maple X does not contain such chemicals, it has components that bring a natural energy to the table.

Being metabolized at a slower rate, natural
maple sugar provides you a steady burn of vitality without the side effects of a sugar rush and subsequent crash.

We like to think that Maple X is
one of the best energy drink alternatives available!
