Award-winning Cornish Cyder producer, Healeys, has introduced a cutting-edge addition to its much-loved range of Rattler: Rattler Zero Tropical Cyder. Launched in time for picnic and barbecue season, Rattler Zero Tropical Cyder is the perfect refreshing accompaniment for days on the beach!
Rattler Zero Tropical Cyder is the second 0% ABV cyder in the Rattler range, following the success of Rattler Zero Original which hit shelves in 2021 and scooped gold in the ‘Best Low Alcohol Cider’ category in the 2023 International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC). Created using a unique method, this non-alcoholic cyder is made by blending 97% fermented apples with a tropical fusion of mango, pineapple and passionfruit to create a distinct, refreshing non-alcoholic cyder.
Joe Healey, Managing Director (Trading) at Healeys commented: “We’re excited to launch Rattler Zero Tropical Cyder into the market ahead of the summer season. Rattler Zero alone has achieved a 42% YOY volume growth and we’ve seen a real thirst for innovation in the cyder category, with consumers actively seeking lower alcohol alternatives. This new offering gives more choice around drinking habits, and by expanding our range of low & no alcohol cyder, we hope to encourage new cyder drinkers to explore different profiles of the Rattler range.”
He added: “We’re continuing to produce top-quality drinks and are excited to have a patent pending on this unique method of creating non-alcoholic cyder. By developing this process, where 97% of the Rattler Zero range comes from fermented apples, we’re committed to giving the character and flavour you’d expect in a zero-alcohol Rattler product.”
In 2023, Healeys announced a £5m investment into its production infrastructure and onsite visitor experience. This has allowed the business to double its processing capacity with the introduction of new apple bays, an innovative water transportation system, and an additional press, as well as creating an integrated unique visitor experience.
Rattler Zero Tropical Cyder is available to buy on the Healeys website and at the farm shop in Penhallow, Cornwall.
Rattler Zero Tropical Cyder joins the Rattler range that includes Original, Zero and Black, as well as flavoured cyders such as Berry, Pear, Pineapple, Mango, Peach, Strawberry & Lime, and Mulled.
The launch of Rattler Zero Tropical Cyder comes after Healeys secured a national listing with Tesco for its Rattler Peach (500ml) and Rattler Pineapple (500ml), as well as Rattler Zero being available to purchase in over 120 Tesco, Morrisons and Asda stores. The flagship Healeys cyder, Rattler Original Cornish Cloudy Cyder, is also stocked in-store at Sainsburys, Asda and Morrisons nationwide.
