Introducing ‘Lime Cola’ Kefir Soda – a limited edition for Summer ‘25

We’re fizzing to finally launch NZ’s first ever living Cola in collaboration with our clever mates at Six Barrel Soda. All the great taste of classic cola in water kefir with bursts of citrus. Lime Cola is an all-natural, fermented beverage that's full of fresh citrus notes to nourish and rehydrate. 

Lime Cola features our award-winning water kefir, fresh Clevedon limes, and Six Barrel Soda’s best-selling Cola Six. Delicious on its own and heavenly as a mixer for mocktails / cocktails, Lime Cola is a natural living cola that’s lower in sugar, and alive with probiotics to aid digestion and uplift the mind. No artificial flavours, colours, sweeteners or preservatives. Finally, a Cola that loves you back!

Partnering with fellow Soda-lovers Six Barrel was a no-brainer. Six Barrel Soda is an award-winning NZ company dedicated to sustainability and have been making experimental soda syrup for over a decade. Their drinks are made with real ingredients, naturally sweetened with fairtrade organic sugar, and free from artificial flavours, colours or preservatives. They spent six years perfecting the Cola Six syrup which is a mix of six main flavours: lime, orange, cinnamon, kola nut, coriander seed and vanilla. 

Lime Cola Kefir Soda is a limited edition for Summer 24/25, rolling out in a convenient grab-and-go 300ml size. It’s only 4% sugar, well under the 10% you’ll find on most other Cola drinks on shelf. Lime Cola can be purchased via our online store or Soda Door, at the Clevedon Farmers Market, or at any of our amazing retailers around NZ. If you can’t find it in the fridge, please ask for it!

Three cheers to Six Barrel Soda for helping us serve up the ferments of the future - we are all about putting LAB (lactic acid bacteria) back in collaboration. Lime Cola is our third collaboration with some of our favourite local food heroes. We partnered with Wellington Apothecary on our Lemon Manuka Kefir Soda, and Espresso Workshop on a limited-edition Coffee Kefir which won gold at the Outstanding NZ Food Awards.
