No well-stocked bar or creative kitchen is complete without a selection of bitters. Dillon's Small Batch Ginger Bitters is created from both fresh and dried local ginger, and other natural botanical ingredients. Use in cocktails, or add a dash to stir-fries, curries or marinades as a flavour enhancer.
Dillon’s takes pride in handcrafting products using copper pot stills and fresh local ingredients without artificial flavours or colours. Dillon’s strives to make new spirits from old ideas and to do so with unparalleled quality, one small batch at a time.

Lavender and honey simple syrup
1/4 cup honey
1/8 cup water
1 tsp dried lavender
Combine the honey, water, and lavender in a saucepan over low heat. When it reaches a boil, remove from heat and let sit for 30 minutes. Strain into a jar and store in the refrigerator until use. This makes enough for only one cocktail so increase the volumes if creating for a whole group!
