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.
