BORN IN NEW ZEALAND
From a family recipe to a fridge favourite.
A little bit of our home in every can.
Sidekick is family owned and run from Wānaka. Our story started in 2013, when we launched our first business together. Sidekick came later — launched in 2023 as a brighter take on soda, made with real fruit, New Zealand honey, and a crisp splash of apple cider vinegar, with no cane sugar, no stevia, and no erythritol.
