NEW ZEALAND BORN

From a family recipe to the natural aisle.

A real fruit soda inspired by old-school recipes, made for modern shelves.

Our story started in 2013, when we launched our first business together. Sidekick came later — launched three years ago as a brighter take on soda, made with real fruit, New Zealand honey, and a crisp splash of vinegar, without artificial sweeteners.
