# Tropically Flavored Pear Ciders Rekorderlig Pineapple-Kiwi Has an Easy Drinking 3.4% ABV By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2026-03-19 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rekorderlig-pineapplekiwi References: [foodbev](https://www.foodbev.com/news/rekorderlig-unveils-new-pineapple-and-kiwi-cider-flavour)  The [Rekorderlig](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blood-orange-cider) Pineapple-Kiwi cider has been added to the brand's range by the [Molson Coors Beverage Company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rekorderlig-peachraspberry) as a tropically flavored take on the original pear cider. The drink features the base of crisp pear cider alongside tasting notes of pineapple and kiwi to give it a juicy taste profile that's also enhanced by the use of pure Swedish spring water in the recipe. The drink has a 3.4% ABV to make it a great easy drinking option to enjoy in amidst other higher alcohol alternatives on the market, especially as we head into the warm weather months. Marketing Controller Sophie Mitchell spoke on the Rekorderlig Pineapple-Kiwi cider saying, "Pineapple-Kiwi addresses a clear gap in the market – consumers want [tropical flavours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tropical-variety-packs) but can't find them on shelf. At the same time, we're seeing a real shift in how people shop for premium fruit cider, with single cans bringing new shoppers into the category. By launching Pineapple-Kiwi and expanding Strawberry-Lime into this high-growth format, we're giving retailers the tools to drive sales across the summer months and beyond." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 69% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Tropical-flavored Low-abv Drinks:** A shift toward lower-alcohol, fruit-forward beverages creates room for novel tropical flavor blends that attract casual and health-conscious drinkers. - **Single-serve Premium Ciders:** Consumers are favoring single-can premium formats, opening possibilities for upscale packaging and limited-edition seasonal releases that drive impulse purchases. - **Water-enhanced Craft Beverages:** Incorporating premium spring or mineral waters into recipes is redefining perceived quality and crafting new premium tiers within ready-to-drink categories. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Alcoholic Beverage Retail:** Retail assortments that feature single-serve, seasonal tropical ciders can disrupt shelf dynamics by converting non-cider shoppers into category buyers. - **Canned Cocktail Manufacturing:** Manufacturers of ready-to-drink alcoholic products could leverage low-ABV tropical profiles and water-forward formulations to compete with traditional cocktails and seltzers. - **Food and Beverage Marketing:** Targeted summer-focused campaigns and storytelling around provenance and exotic flavor pairings present opportunities to reposition fruit ciders as lifestyle-driven premium choices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sparkling Pineapple-Rum Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/malibu-and-dole.md) - [Juicy Tropically Flavored Ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-mout-mango-passionfruit.md) - [Low-Alcohol Summertime Ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cornish-orchards-peach-apple.md) - [Boldly Flavored Cider Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kopparberg-sweet-vintage.md) - [Kiwi Strawberry Hard Ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiwi-strawberry-hard-cider.md) - [Tropically Themed Sparkling Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lacroix-pineapple-coconut.md) - [Tangy Tropical Cider Refreshments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peacock-cider-passion-fruit-guava.md) - [Refreshingly Light Summertime Ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crisp-apple-cider.md) - [Cocktail-Inspired Ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pear-lychee-cider.md)
