Chilsung Cider RICH is not the cider you know

7DahyeAm2026.10.11 13:51๐Ÿ‘ 839๐Ÿ’ฌ 10โ™ฅ 31

New on the drinks shelf: Chilsung Cider RICH, in peach and grape, with 20% fruit juice in it ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‡ Lotte says they made it because people kept saying they wanted fizzy drinks that actually taste like fruit.

Honest verdict: peach is the winner. The grape one tastes more like grape flavouring than real grapes, which a lot of Korean comments said too, and once you see "20% juice" you realise it's not exactly a light drink. People were side-eyeing the sugar hard. Peach is coming with me to the next Han river picnic. Grape can stay in the fridge at the store.

Peach drinks in Korea are always better than the grape ones. Not sure why but it's consistent.

the bottle colours are so cute i'd buy it for the photo first ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Grape that tastes like grape candy is fine by me. I just won't pretend it's fruit.

20% juice and it's still a soda. Peach, sure, but I'm skipping the grape until someone proves it isn't candy.

20% juice in a soda is a lot. That's basically a fruit drink with bubbles.

20% juice sounds almost healthy until you read the sugar line. I'd still try the peach once, mostly to see if it beats the old one.

peach supremacy is real ๐Ÿ‘

Cider used to be the 'clean' choice. Respect the commitment to changing that.

grape candy flavour is a legit category, I'll take it. peach over ice with a squeeze of calamansi is my experiment though. the sugar warning is noted and ignored

Cider has owned the Korean fizzy aisle for ages, so the flavour spinoffs keep coming. I'm curious whether RICH sticks or quietly disappears like most limited runs.
