Our FAQ page covers the essentials quickly. Here's a bit more detail on the questions people ask most.
What is Sunbird made from?
Sunbird is built on real New Zealand fruit and a spiced cinnamon liqueur crafted in-house, combined into a juice cocktail bold on flavour. The Spiced Apple variety is 85% real apple juice (not from concentrate) and 15% spiced cinnamon liqueur.
What does "juice cocktail" actually mean?
It's a category built on real spirit combined with real fruit juice — distinct from flavoured malt drinks or seltzers, which start from a different base entirely. Sunbird uses pressed apple juice and its own spiced cinnamon liqueur rather than a neutral spirit and added flavour.
What's the ABV, and how many standard drinks are in a can?
Each 250mL can is 5% ABV, at approximately 1.0 standard drinks.
Where can I buy it, and can I order online?
Sunbird is available in-store at stockists across Canterbury and Otago and is not sold online. Use the stockist list to find one near you.
How should I store and serve it?
Store in a cool, dark place and serve chilled. Try pouring it over ice with a cinnamon stick.
Who makes Sunbird?
Sunbird is made in New Zealand by Where's Graeme Limited, based in Christchurch.
