Koral Kickers Wild-Fermented Ginger-bug Pickles
Welcome to a new era of Texas fermentation. Born in Austin, our wild-cultured pickles are a rebellion against flat, commercial vinegar brines. We start by cold-plunging our cucumbers to lock in a shatteringly crisp snap. Then, we let nature take over. Fermented slowly in a living, house-made ginger bug, each batch develops a naturally sparkling, probiotic zing that dances on the palate. Dive into our handcrafted flavors below and experience a pickle that is truly alive.
Koral Kickers Dill
Experience a fresh take on a deli classic, crafted with the artisanal spirit of Austin fermentation. Instead of relying on harsh, commercial vinegar brines, we use the ancient art of wild culturing to bring out a naturally bright tang.

The result is a wildly fizzy, living pickle infused with a bloomed blend of mustard seeds, bruised garlic, cinnamon, and coriander.
Koral Kickers Spicy

Elevated with a bloomed blend of chili flakes, bruised garlic, cinnamon, and coriander, this beautifully bubbly tang delivers a punchy, sophisticated twist on a classic.

Handcrafted by Rachel & Jesse
What started as our own personal search for a healthy alternative to sugary sodas and alcohol led us straight to the art of traditional fermentation—and ultimately, to the creation of Texas Mermaid Fizz. Proudly family-owned and operated in the East Austin area, we wanted a drink that felt like a celebration without the hangover or the sugar crash. As a military veteran and his wife, we bring that same level of discipline and dedication to every single batch we culture.
