Our Ingredients

A deep dive into our kitchen logic: real fruit, New Zealand honey, a crisp splash of apple cider vinegar, and sparkling water.

Honey, fruit, vinegar.

That's the heart of the recipe. Finished with sparkling water.

Honey

Honey gives Sidekick gentle sweetness, body, and depth — no cane sugar, no stevia, no erythritol.

Sourced for a soft, rounded finish.

Whole Fruit Purée

We use real fruit purée and juice for flavor, color, and texture you can taste.

No flavor concentrates pretending to be fruit.

Apple Cider Vinegar

A crisp splash of apple cider vinegar gives Sidekick its clean, grown-up finish.

Sourced from orchard country.

See the difference

Most sodas are clear and syrup-led. Sidekick is cloudy because it starts with real fruit.

Common Questions

How fizzy is it?

Light, fine bubbles with a sparkling lift — refreshing, but not harsh or heavy like some mass-market sodas.

Is Sidekick gluten-free?

Sidekick is made with naturally gluten-free ingredients.

Can I use it as a mixer?

Absolutely. Sidekick was made to stand on its own, but it also pairs beautifully with gin, vodka, tequila, whiskey, or a simple splash of citrus.

Is the can BPA free?

We use BPA-NI can linings, meaning BPA is not intentionally added.
