NIX&KIX Ltd

A soft drinks producer offering lightly sparkling canned beverages made with 100% natural ingredients, sparkling water and what the company calls a pinch of zing. The defining feature of the range is a subtle kick of cayenne pepper, which the brand says lifts the flavour and wakes up the palate without the caffeine crash or sugar overload of conventional soft drinks. The drinks carry no added sugar and no artificial ingredients, positioning them as a lower-sugar grown-up alternative to standard fizzy drinks. The company was started by two female founders who were tired of sugary, artificial fizz and wanted a drink that tasted exciting without the guilt, and it describes itself as proudly female-founded. Its stated philosophy is that soft drinks should do more than quench thirst — they should wake up the taste buds and lift the spirits naturally. The range is built on unique flavour combinations intended to disrupt the mundane, and the cans are positioned both for drinking on their own and for use in cocktails and as a mixer with spirits. Press and customer commentary featured on the site describes the drinks as addictively tasty, good in a cocktail and as a mixer, less sweet than most soft drinks, and suitable for people avoiding alcohol or added sugar. The site maintains a stockists section for retail availability.
