The FIFA World Cup 2026 is finally here, and whether you’re watching England battle it out from your sofa, a packed pub, or the back garden with friends, one question matters more than VAR: what are you drinking? For a growing number of fans, the answer is non alcohol cider — refreshing, full of flavour, and completely free from the morning-after regret. And right now, there’s one non alcoholic cider that stands above the rest: Smashed Cider Berry from Smashed Drynks.
Why Choose Non Alcohol Cider for the World Cup?
Tournament football means multiple matches per day, extended viewing sessions, and the kind of excitement that deserves a great drink in your hand from kick-off to final whistle. Non alcohol cider gives you exactly that — the taste and feel of a proper cider without the alcohol units adding up across a long afternoon of football.
- Stay sharp for every penalty shootout (and the inevitable drama)
- Enjoy round after round without the morning-after sluggishness
- Drink at your own pace without social pressure
- Perfectly suited for mixed groups including designated drivers and pregnant guests
Smashed Cider Berry: The Ultimate World Cup Companion
When England take to the pitch in the summer heat of 2026, you want a non alcohol cider that delivers on every level. Smashed Cider Berry is a multi award-winning, 0.0% alcohol-free cider brewed using the UK’s first purpose-built cool vacuum distillation plant. This unique process removes the alcohol while retaining every note of real British cider, blended with vibrant berry flavours — think blackcurrant, raspberry, and a hint of elderflower that finishes clean and crisp.
It’s not a watered-down juice. It’s not a sugary kids’ drink. It’s a proper, grown-up non alcohol cider that holds its own against anything you’d pour from the tap.

Watching England at the World Cup with a Smashed Cider Berry in Hand
Picture this: it’s match day. The living room is packed. The pre-match punditry is in full flow. You reach into the fridge and pull out a chilled Smashed Cider Berry — that bold red berry colour in the glass, the gentle fizz, the unmistakable aroma of real cider with a fruity twist. England kick off. The tension builds.
Whether it’s a last-minute winner or the dreaded penalty shootout, there’s nothing quite like raising a Smashed Cider Berry as the Three Lions push for glory. And because it’s 0.0%, you’ll be celebrating just as hard at 11pm as you were at kick-off — fully present for every moment.
The World Cup 2026 is a shared experience, and Smashed Drynks believes everyone at the table deserves a great drink. Non alcohol cider isn’t a compromise — it’s a choice that keeps the good times going from group stage all the way to the final.
What Makes Smashed Non Alcohol Cider Different?
Most non alcoholic ciders on the market use a simple dealcoholisation process that strips out flavour along with the alcohol, then compensate with added sugar. Smashed Drynks does it differently.
- Cool vacuum distillation removes alcohol at low temperatures, protecting the flavour compounds
- No artificial flavour enhancers or excessive sugar added
- Brewed in the UK with real British cider as the base
- 0.0% ABV — completely alcohol-free, not just ‘low alcohol’
- Award-winning taste verified by independent judging panels
