# Floral English-Style Gin Dillon's Rose Gin is Infused with Rose Petals and Sweetened By Rebecca Byers | Published 2015-06-10 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dillons-rose-gin References: [dillons](http://dillons.ca/rose-gin-new-look) & [dillons](http://dillons.ca/spring-flower) Dillon's Rose Gin is a delightfully refreshing Ontario-produced spirit made with elements of rose that give it a complex aroma and unique flavor. The London-style gin is infused with rose hips and rose petals that complement and highlight subtle flavors of the 100% rye base. Dillon's Rose Gin is a perfect ingredient to add to a summertime cocktail such as the Spring Flower, created by Michael Bracegirdle, Bar Manager at [Canoe Restaurant and Bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/icons-series-2025) in Toronto. The cocktail features Elderflower liqueur, Galliano, ice chamomile tea and micro herbs in addition to Dillon's Rose Gin. [Dillon's Distillery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dillons-vodka) is located in Beamsville, Ontario and makes great use of fresh, local fruit and plants that lend themselves to exciting seasonal varieties with a regional twist. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Regional Twist Spirits:** The use of fresh, local fruit and plants in spirits production offers opportunities for regional twists on classic spirits. - **Complex Aromas in Spirits:** Infusing spirits with unique ingredients like rose petals and rose hips adds complexity to aromas and flavors. - **Summertime Cocktail Innovation:** Incorporating unique spirits like Dillon's Rose Gin into creative summertime cocktails presents opportunities for innovative mixology. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Craft Distilleries:** Craft distilleries can explore regional twist spirits using fresh, local ingredients to create unique and flavorful spirits. - **Beverage and Hospitality:** Beverage and hospitality industries can capitalize on the trend of complex aroma spirits by incorporating them into cocktail menus and offerings. - **Mixology Education:** The innovation of summertime cocktails with unique spirits presents opportunities for mixology education and training programs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gin-Branded Valentine's Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rose-gin-greyhound.md) - [Elderflower Rose Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elderflower-rose-gin.md) - [Romantic Rose Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rose-gin.md) - [Festive Rose Gin Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rose-gin-cocktails.md) - [Floral-Forward Gin Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prickly-pear-rose-gin.md) - [Refined Canadian Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dillons-vodka.md) - [Aromatic Botanical-Infused Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/willoe-gin.md) - [Luxurious Lilac-Colored Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gin-lane-1751-violet-gin.md) - [Botanical-Infused Dutch Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nolets-silver-gin.md)
