Saigon Cider — Where Fermented Apple Meets Vietnamese Spices

Born from the idea of blending the crisp freshness of fermented apple with tropical fruits and spices, Saigon Cider - the first organic brand in Vietnam - came to life. While carrying the charm of a drink made from ripe, juicy apples, Saigon Cider weaves in the warmth and generosity of Vietnamese spirit, captured in every bottle. Each one tells a story, where real apples ferment naturally and intertwine with an Asian touch of taste:

  • Original Apple tells a story of purity and freshness - a light, sweet, and timeless expression of what Cider has always been.
  • Apple & Ginger speaks of hospitality. With a gentle warmth of ginger in every sip, it feels both familiar and surprising, like a heartfelt conversation you don’t want to end.
  • Apple & Chilli dares to be bold. A spark of chili heat evokes the vibrant rhythm of Saigon, where passionate hearts embrace every challenge. It’s a taste you won’t soon forget.

Saigon Cider goes beyond creative combinations. The brand holds firm to a philosophy of being natural, sustainable, and distinct. Each bottle is made from 100% real apple juice, naturally fermented, certified EU & JAS Organic, and produced in an ISO-certified facility. Bottled in reusable glass to minimise waste, Saigon Cider emphasises sustainability and environmental responsibility.

With only three core expressions: Original Apple, Apple & Ginger, and Apple & Chilli. Saigon Cider has claimed more than 24 international awards, and is now served in countries including Canada, the UK, Hong Kong, Macau, Cambodia, France, and Singapore.

Saigon Cider — Original Apple

True to its name, Original Apple is the most classic, authentic expression of Cider

To craft this Cider, plump organic apples are carefully harvested and selected, then pressed and naturally fermented. Saigon Cider, Original Apple strikes a balance between tartness and sweetness: refreshingly crisp, like a sunlit afternoon in an apple orchard. It acts as the “opening chapter” of the Cider journey: easygoing, gently comforting, and a warm welcome for first-time tasters. The apple’s bright, crunchy sweetness has turned many drinkers into instant fans.

The apple’s gentle, fresh character pairs beautifully with light, refined dishes such as:

  • Grilled seafood: prawns, fish, or scallops
  • Crisp vegetable salads
  • Cheese pizza
  • Light desserts: fruit crumbles or fruit mousse

At just 4.7% ABV, every sip of Original Apple is an invitation to slow down and enjoy, a relaxing choice after a busy day.

Saigon Cider - Apple & Ginger

Apple & Ginger was Saigon Cider’s first creative expression. It blends naturally fermented apple juice with fresh Vietnamese ginger, a humble, familiar ingredient in local cuisine. At the first sip, the warming spice of ginger meets the apple’s gentle sweetness, spreading comfort across the palate like a cool morning warmed by early sunlight. 

With 4.7% ABV, Apple & Ginger leaves a lingering, warming spice at the back of the throat, inviting slow, savouring sips.

The apple & ginger harmonise to create a taste that’s both familiar and new, and it awakens the palate when paired with warm, spice-forward dishes such as:

  • Vietnamese-inspired dishes: caramelised fish with pepper, steamed chicken with kaffir lime leaves, tofu in ginger sauce
  • Light stews: mushrooms and seasonal vegetables
  • Desserts: cheesecake, panna cotta, or chilled fruit sweets

Apple & Ginger bridges the Western crispness of apple with the soul of Vietnamese spices. It’s warm, approachable, and full of delightful surprises, a perfect companion for gatherings.

Saigon Cider — Apple & Chilli

If Original Apple is a friendly greeting, and Apple & Ginger a cultural bridge, then Apple & Chilli is the unexpected high note in the Saigon Cider lineup. Bold and captivating, it often makes people hesitate at first but once tried, many are pleasantly surprised.

When fermented apple meets the subtle heat of Vietnamese chilli, the Cider takes on a new personality: daring, vibrant, and full of energy. With the lowest ABV in the range (4.0%) and a striking red hue, Apple & Chilli is designed for adventurous palates.

Pop the cap and you’ll notice a refined aroma: sweet apple with a gentle chilli kick, inviting you to explore. Each sip is crisp, refreshing, and enlivening, making dishes come alive and moments more memorable. Great pairings include:

  • Seafood: clams, mussels, or grilled shrimp with scallion oil
  • Grilled fare: BBQ, skewers, honey-roasted chicken
  • Crispy fried snacks: fries, fried chicken, spring rolls
  • Rich desserts: dark chocolate mousse or cocoa cake

Sweet with a lingering warmth, Apple & Chilli has its own magnetic appeal — ideal for those who love new, unconventional pairings.
