-16%Pop the cap and it's instant holiday. Ripe passion fruit hits first, all that sticky-sweet tropical pulp, then lime swings in and snaps the whole thing awake so it never turns into squash. It's sparkling, it's pale gold, and at 8% it has a bit more swagger than your average cider. This is the one you grab when the evening needs lifting and you can't be bothered to mix anything. We'll have a cold one at your door fast, any hour. And because it's a 5+1 pack, the sixth bottle's basically a gift to future you.
The nose is full-on passion fruit jam with a twist of lime zest and a little floral honey behind it. First sip is sweet and tropical, properly fruity, then the lime cuts straight through with a tangy citrus kick that keeps it lively instead of cloying. The bubbles are bright and the finish is tart and clean, so you actually want the next mouthful. Real fruit doing the talking here, not syrup.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This is Nairobi-made, through and through. Kenyan Originals started in 2016 out of a shipping container after founder Alexandra Chappatte got dared to make a proper alcoholic drink from real fruit. The dare stuck. Today they chop, deseed and press fragrant purple passion fruit from the Kenyan highlands, blend it with fresh lime, then bottle and pasteurise it with no additives or preservatives. The company even became Africa's first cider and gin B Corp, so the feel-good factor is real, not marketing.
