Dillon's Small Batch Distillers recently expanded its portfolio with the introduction of the Dillon’s Gin Cocktails. Available in three delicious flavors including Tangerine, Lemon & a Hint of Mint, Blackberry, Lemon & a Dash of Elderflower, and Black Cherry & Touch of Cranberry, the new canned cocktails were locally made in Beamsville, Ontario.
The Tangerine, Lemon & a Hint of Mint cocktail is a balanced beverage that boasts the sweetness of tangerines, the crisp notes of lemon, and a mint of min with a base of soda. The Blackberry, Lemon & a Dash of Elderflower cocktail, on the other hand, is a refreshing cocktail with hints of blackberry and a subtle elderflower finish. Lastly, the Black Cherry & Touch of Cranberry cocktail is slightly sweet with notes of black beery and a touch of tart cranberry.
The new creations are now available across Canada subject to availability by province.
