A’peel: vodka and gin made from fruit peel.
The bits other people throw away. Turns out they are the good bits.
Oranges, lemons and limes get juiced and the peel gets binned. We take the peel instead, distil with it in Brisbane and bottle the result at 38%. The fruit does the work: a soft spirit with a faint citrus finish that mixes well and does not need much.
A’peel Vodka took Gold in Best Spirits, Seltzer + Cocktail Mixer at the Clean + Conscious Awards 2026, judged by an independent expert panel. The gin is the same idea with juniper in the room.
