Kombucha-style cider is a genuinely interesting category play — fermented differently from traditional cider, it picks up a slightly tart, probiotic quality that sets it apart from straight fruit ciders. Cranes have leaned into that with their raspberry and lemongrass version: the raspberry provides the sweetness and colour, the lemongrass cuts through with citrusy sharpness, and the fermentation process adds a faint funkiness underneath. It's not trying to replicate alcoholic cider — it's doing something more interesting than that. The result is a more complex soft drink, the kind of thing that works as well with food as it does on its own. At 0.0% ABV, fully vegan and gluten-free, it's a reasonable choice for people who want something with a bit more character than standard fruit juice.
