I have a bit of a soft spot for the team from Canberra’s Undergrounds Spirits. Back in 2020, when COVID-19 first shut down our bush capital and we ran into a nationwide shortage of hand sanitiser, it was the team at Underground Spirits who thought outside the box, gathered every last drop of alcohol they could find, and turned it into sanitiser for our community. How clever (and generous!) is that?

Anyway, these guys make amazing gin and although I’m not a huge vodka drinker, I couldn’t go past a bottle of their Vodka Caramel when I went along to one of their tasting events recently. Especially when I heard how well it went in an Espresso Martini!

Today though I’m sharing with you a really sweet and simple cocktail that’s just like a delicious apple pie. Serve it in the afternoon as the light is fading and you’re settling in for the weekend.
