The drink comprises carbonated water and glucose syrup as primary energy sources. Cherry juice from concentrate provides the characteristic flavor, while citric acid adds tartness. Sodium lactate serves as an acidity regulator, and extracts of carrot and blackcurrant contribute to the color. Potassium sorbate is used as a preservative, and sweeteners such as aspartame and acesulfame K provide sweetness without excessive sugar content. Caffeine is included for its stimulating effects, and ascorbic acid functions as an antioxidant. The drink is also fortified with niacin (Vitamin B3).​
