The weekend is here! Boo Ha cold weather I am making a Gin Fizz.
So long G&T.
A recent trip to Ontario introduced me to Dillons small batch gin and I have converted to the Gin Fizz.
Dillons is a classic distilled gin crafted in copper pots. It is unfiltered to maintain its flavour, its base is the local Niagara grape, its finished by sending vapour through 22 botanicals. The flavour is so amazing that I have traded in the tonic for club soda. If the lemon or lime juice is fresh and sweet, try it with a meyer lemon, you can leave out the simple syrup. Alas I can't find Dillons Gin in Alberta but I have stocked my bar with a bounty of small batch gins and I'll let you know how things progress!
