Sapling Spirits Unveils Sustainable Wonky Fruit Vodka Range

Sapling Spirits has launched its innovative wonky fruit range, debuting with Raspberry & Hibiscus Vodka (£36.00). This collection advances their sustainability mission by transforming imperfect ‘wonky’ fruit—otherwise destined for waste—into premium infused vodka. Available exclusively at John Lewis for £36.

Combating Food Waste with Misfit Fruit

It is estimated that one-third of global food production is wasted annually. Sapling counters this by sourcing misfit raspberries that fail premium aesthetic standards for appearance, weight, or colour, yet deliver exceptional flavour. These rejected berries—bumped, crushed, or squashed—are every bit as fruity and delicious as their ‘perfect’ counterparts.

A Refreshing Raspberry & Hibiscus Blend

Combined with delicate hibiscus flowers and Sapling’s smooth British wheat-based vodka, the result is a vibrant, refreshing spirit. Ideal for sipping neat or mixing with tonic for a fruity cocktail that embodies luxury with purpose.

Sapling’s Pioneering Sustainability

Since 2018, Sapling Spirits has led sustainable innovation in the drinks industry, earning acclaim as one of the most forward-thinking brands encouraging zero-waste cocktail culture in bars and homes.

Co-founders Ed Faulkner and Ivo Devereux champion the UK’s food waste reduction goals. Their wonky fruit range proves that fresh produce of any shape or size can shine in premium spirits.

“We are really excited to be launching our new wonky range of vodka,” says Ivo Devereux, Co-Founder of Sapling Spirits. “At Sapling we believe that beauty is more than skin deep, which is why we use natural wonky raspberries that might not look perfect but still taste just as sweet and juicy as their ‘perfect’ counterparts. This is not just about taste; it is about our planet too. We are excited at Sapling to have created something that customers can enjoy knowing they are helping reduce food waste and support their planet!”
