Avallen Spirits, the Certified B Corporation redefining what it means to craft climate-positive spirits, today announces the launch of Avallen Apple Vodka in Hong Kong, a market chosen in partnership with Asian distributor Drinks 99 thanks to its vibrant bar scene and ecoSpirits route to market.
Beautifully crisp and unapologetically apple-forward, this vodka brings orchard freshness to the bar, elevating classic serves such as the Appletini and the Dry Martini.
This latest expression reinforces Avallen’s mission to create a more sustainable drinks industry, combining exceptional quality and flavour with uncompromising environmental standards.
“Our calvados showed us just how delicious apples can be - and how much they’re appreciated - behind the bar,” says Avallen co-founder and CEO Stephanie Jordan. “Vodka lets us share that flavour at scale. At Avallen, we exist to create a profound and lasting impact on the sustainability of the global drinks industry, while delivering uncompromising quality and flavour. Apple Vodka simply makes sense - for the planet, for the palate, and in a beautifully crisp Appletini or Dry Martini.”
Avallen Apple Vodka is distilled from apples, celebrating the crisp orchard character that has inspired the Avallen brand from day one. Just as in Calvados, working with apples over traditional grains or potatoes creates a spirit that delivers exceptional flavour while championing more sustainable agriculture and biodiversity, with reduced water use and a lower environmental impact across the supply chain.
Crafted without filtration or additives and refined through multiple distillations, Avallen Apple Vodka embodies the brand’s ethos of flavour with purpose. Its orchard-driven profile opens up new possibilities behind the bar for bartenders seeking versatility alongside sustainability.
Why it matters:
• Planet-positive by design — apples require less water and have a lighter agricultural footprint compared to conventional vodka bases.
• Pouring with purpose — vodka at the right price for the speed rack, versatile and perfect for an Appletini or Dry Martini.
• Built for impact — extending Avallen’s sustainability-led legacy from calvados into vodka, with meaningful environmental benefit throughout.
“Bringing Avallen Apple Vodka to Hong Kong is a huge event for us at Drinks99. We’ve always believed the drinks industry should lead on sustainability without compromising flavor—and with this vodka, Avallen has proved it. This is an apple-born vodka that’s bright, crisp, and unapologetically delicious. I’m excited to see how Hong Kong bartenders respond to this house-pour spirit—made with purpose and a lighter footprint.” Simon Disler, Founder, Drinks99.
Availability: Avallen Apple Vodka is being introduced in selected global markets - beginning with Hong Kong, launching with House of Culture in trendy Sai Ying Pun as the first pouring account. Avallen Apple Vodka is available exclusively in 4.5-litre ecoTOTES under the ecoSPIRITS global climate partner programme.
Avallen Spirits is a climate-positive spirits company with sustainability at its core. Crafted exclusively from apples, water and time, Avallen Calvados is completely natural, with no additives or added sugar. Fresh, fruity and proudly apple-forward, the spirit is aged for a minimum of two years in French oak barrels. Avallen is also among the first spirits brands to launch in a Frugalpac paper bottle, marking a bold step forward in sustainable packaging.
Founded in 2019 by Stephanie Jordan Balmforth and Tim Etherington-Judge, Avallen was designed from the outset with the planet in mind. By choosing apples - a more sustainable raw material - and prioritising environmental impact over trends, the founders created an industry-first calvados with a mission to help reshape the spirits industry into a more climate-positive future.
A Certified B Corporation, Avallen is among a small group of spirits producers to meet this rigorous standard. The brand has been recognised by the global bar industry, ranking #1 Top Trending and #2 Best Selling Brandy in the Drinks International 2026 Brands Report. Through impact-led production, low-impact packaging and a commitment to give back more than it takes — including donating 2% of revenue to the Bumblebee Conservation Trust via 1% for the Planet — Avallen continues to lead the way for a more sustainable drinks industry.
