Cherry without the lolly-shop sweetness

Bright cherry, a gentle honey finish and just enough apple cider vinegar to keep things crisp. Made for fridge doors, lunches, picnics and slow afternoons in the sun.

What's doing the sweetening

Sidekick New Zealand honey + real fruit
Prebiotic sodas Stevia, plus added fibre
Zero-sugar sodas Stevia + erythritol
Regular soda Cane sugar / high-fructose corn syrup

Sweetened with New Zealand honey and real fruit. No cane sugar. No stevia. No erythritol.

Customers loved this low-sugar cherry soda sweetened with honey, praising its refreshing taste and natural flavor. Many said it's "not too sweet" with a "great level of sweetness." Popular as an alcohol alternative and mixer. Some noted availability issues in stores, particularly in regional areas.

  • My favourite soda of all time probably. 9.79/10

I have to say, this is a new favourite!! I’m not normally a fan of cherry flavour but this was really delicious with a light fizz. A subtle hint of kombucha but not too overpowering.

Opps, drank half of it before remembering to get a pic of it. I admit I was skeptical trying this one because of the apple cider vinegar but was pleasantly surprised! Big thumbs up from me.

Good questions

How much sugar is in Sidekick compared to regular soda?

Most big-brand soft drinks sit around 10–11g sugar per 100mL. Sidekick is much lower — still a treat, just one you can drink more often. Check each flavour’s nutrition panel for the exact number.

What do you use to sweeten Sidekick?

New Zealand honey and natural sugar from real fruit. No cane sugar, stevia, erythritol, monk fruit, aspartame, or sucralose.

Does it taste like vinegar?

A splash of apple cider vinegar gives Sidekick a little tang and a crisp finish — more like lemon in a drink than a vinegar burn. Some people notice the kick more than others.

Can I use Sidekick as a mixer?

Yes. Sidekick works as a real-fruit base for cocktails, mocktails, spritzes, or a simple serve over ice.
