Nectresse was Monk Fruit.  I used to use Monk Fruit in the Raw.  Nectresse was made by Splenda so maybe just a Splenda substitute will work for you.

If you are looking for chemical free, all natural, and zero calories, stevia is great (not truvia or purevia, etc.) but actual plain stevia in liquid or granular form. If calories aren't a concern, coconut sugar is pretty good as well.

I think skinny girl brand came out with a monk fruit liquid, you could check to see if they still sell it. 

Most sugarfree items give me migraines and digestive issues. Splenda I can handle every once in a while.

My Integrative physician wants me off chemical sweeteners.  I avoid them when I can but there are times I have no choice - such as sugar free syrups at Starbucks.

I use Sweet Leaf brand Sweet Drops Liquid stevia.  You can buy plain but I also use Vanilla Creme flavor for hot tea (it is stevia with vanilla extract).  They come in a 2 oz bottle with dropper.

I prefer not to use sugar substitutes (though natural) such as coconut sugar, honey, etc. because of the calories and the effect on blood sugar.
