KO Honey Cider – Kenya’s Sweet-Spicy Dawa Twist
Get ready to pop open a can of Kenyan ingenuity with KO Honey Cider, a 330ml burst of liquid gold that blends the soothing sweetness of acacia honey with the zesty punch of lemon and ginger, crafted by African Originals Ltd. in their quirky shipping-container brewery just outside Nairobi in Limuru. Launched in 2018 with a mission to bottle Kenya’s raw, authentic spirit, this isn’t just a cider—it’s a nod to the iconic Dawa cocktail, reimagined as a crisp, refreshing brew at 4.5% ABV that’s perfect for Nairobi’s warm days and vibrant nights. Made with 100% natural ingredients—honey harvested from local beekeepers in Kitui’s arid plains, lemons hand-squeezed from Murang’a’s citrus groves, and ginger grated fresh from Nyeri’s volcanic soils—it’s a taste of Kenya’s diverse terroir in every sip. Crack the can, and you’ll see a hazy, golden fizz with a light sparkle, teasing your senses with an aroma that’s equal parts soothing and bold—think warm vanilla honey mingling with zingy citrus and a spicy ginger kick, layered over a subtle apple cider base that whispers of orchard freshness. Sip it, and it’s a sweet-spicy symphony: a honeyed glow washes over your palate first, chased by a tart lemon snap and earthy ginger warmth, finishing with a crisp, apple-driven lift that leaves you refreshed and craving another taste of this Kenyan classic.

What’s the charm of KO Honey Cider? It’s the real-deal craft and local soul. African Originals skips the artificial stuff—no additives, no preservatives—just pure Kenyan goodness fermented in small batches from an apple cider base, then muddled with honey, lemon, and ginger to capture that Dawa vibe. The honey’s floral depth comes from bees buzzing through Kitui’s acacia trees, the lemons burst with Murang’a’s mineral-rich juiciness, and the ginger adds a Nyeri-grown fire that ties it all together, creating a cider that’s bold yet balanced at 4.5% ABV. It’s light enough for all-day sipping—perfect for a picnic at Karura Forest or a sundowner on a Westlands balcony—yet flavorful enough to stand out at a braai or a late-night hangout. Serve it ice-cold straight from the can, or pour it over ice with a lemon slice for a chilled twist that pairs like magic with spicy mutura, where the honey tames the heat, or grilled chicken, where the citrus cuts through the richness. The 330ml can is sleek and portable, ideal for tossing in a cooler for a day out, sharing with friends at a house party, or keeping in your fridge for those moments when you need a taste of Kenya’s craft revolution without the fuss. KO Honey Cider isn’t just a drink—it’s a celebration of Kenyan flavors, a sip of Limuru’s creativity and Kitui’s nectar, canned up for Nairobi’s flavor-forward crowd who love a brew that’s as authentic as it is refreshing. Keep it chilled at 4-6°C for that full-on Dawa-inspired blast, and let it turn every sip into a little piece of Kenyan sunshine.
