What's doing the sweetening

Sidekick New Zealand honey + real fruit

This pear soda receives universal praise for its delicious, refreshing taste that's "not overly sweet." Customers loved the real fruit flavor, healthy ingredients including apple cider vinegar and honey sweetener, and low sugar content. Many described it as a great alternative to traditional sodas. However, availability is a concern - numerous shoppers reported difficulty finding it in stores.

  • Not overly sweet which is nice and I really liked that it had apple cider vinegar in it
  • The taste was amazing. So refreshing, you could taste all the flavors in the bottle
  • So refreshing and light - loved the pear flavour. A healthy alternative to other fizzy beverages

It is very refreshing you can really taste the lovely pear, it has a nice after taste of honey. It is great that it has no additives in it. Good to see you are supporting Paw Justice. I like the fact it contains the “Mother”.

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.
