Parched Dehydrated Apple Slices

Rather than going bananas were going all in on apples with extra layer of crisp green apple, quite literally in this case since they're dehydrated to concentrate the flavour.

Sliced horizontally, they add some extra flair thanks to the star-shaped seed pattern in their centre. Still carrying all the fruit flavour, they're the perfect garnish to elevate your drink. 100% natural and zero added sugar.

Plus, an apple a day may keep the doctor away, but it also keeps your drink tasting great.

Fever-Tree Premium Soda Water

To turn the appletini into a highball of course you'll need some soda. Made using soft spring water and a high level of carbonation, Fever-Tree's Premium Soda Water is perfect for bringing out the best flavours.

Dutch Dough Stroopwafels

Handmade in Mangawhai by a Dutch chocolatier working at Bennetts, the spice and caramel notes of this popular traditional Dutch sweet treat pair marvelously with the all the apple notes of the cocktail. Nibbling between sips they combine for a flavour profile just like that of a classic apple crumble but boozy!

Stainless Steel Mixing Spoon

With a long swirled handle, this stainless steel mixing spoon is perfect for blending drinks, like the appletini highball, to make sure everything is well-combined for a smooth and even drink.
