L74 Cider

This may not be the first brand in our emporium to be founded by a former finance pro (finance → drinks brand seems to be a surprisingly common career pivot in this world), but it is the first cider to join the ranks.

Kalp and his cousin Ayush lead the charge at L74 Cider, with the name being a nod to the longitude at which Nashik - where they’re based - lies. The team makes around a quarter of a million litres of cider each day. An impressive feat to be sure. Not only are their trio of ciders free of added sugar, they’re vegan and gluten-free too. 

Before the pour

“While a classic apple cider is something we’re familiar with, this is the first we’ve tried that’s made with Kashmiri apples. And it was an immediate yes for us. The other two flavours - citrus and coffee - were more intriguing to us. After sampling both, we knew that they too deserved a spot in our curated collection.”
