Cherry soda in New Zealand usually means Cherry Coke, a stevia can, or nothing much in the café door. Sidekick Cherry is the fruit kind: real cherry, New Zealand honey, a splash of apple cider vinegar, in a 250ml can. No cane sugar. No stevia. No erythritol.
Shop it: Cherry 12-pack · Fridge Fill (mix Cherry with Mango for summer)
What it tastes like
Bold cherry — sweet-tart, unmistakably fruit, not cough syrup. Honey keeps it rounded. Vinegar keeps the finish dry.
Cold from the can, or as a dirty soda: Cherry + cream + vanilla on Dirty soda recipe NZ.
