Dillon's Small Batch Distillers' Award Winning, Refreshing Cocktails - Rapidly Expanding Across the U.S.

CHICAGO, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Dillon's Small Batch Distillers — makers of Canada's most awarded craft vodka and gin spirits — are expanding their refreshing canned cocktails across the United States. Now bringing nationwide their small batch ethos for exceptional flavor-forward and always refreshing cocktails.

"We craft cocktails that are both spirit forward, flavorful & completely refreshing."

Balanced and never too sweet. Dillon's canned cocktails stand out for their incredible ability to consistently deliver bold flavor combinations with a clean, crisp finish at 5% Alcohol-by-Volume (ABV). Their locally inspired fruit and botanical flavors are balanced with their quality handcrafted spirits and always a big splash of soda water to keep every cocktail extra refreshing.

Since opening their doors in 2012, Dillon's has been crafting small batch spirits in copper stills from the rich farmlands of Ontario's Niagara region. Over the years, as the cocktail scene evolved, the Dillon's team was inspired to create something that was missing from the market - ready-to-enjoy cocktails that deliver on their small batch ethos with a balance of real flavor and quality spirits. As they say, "made the right way."

"We started Dillon's to make spirits the right way," says founder Geoff Dillon. "That same philosophy guides every refreshing cocktail we craft. Whether it's vodka or gin, we focus on prioritizing craftsmanship, flavor, and authenticity in every can. It's about a perfect balance of locally inspired flavors that excite the palate but are still approachable."

These refreshing cocktails really raised the bar. Taking home several Double Gold honors at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and even the most coveted "Best in Show" in 2022, an honor very few canned cocktails can claim.

Launching this year, Dillon's Vodka cocktails are out of the gates fast, bringing all new exciting flavors balanced with Dillon's smooth small batch vodka.

Dillon's Vodka Cocktails are available in an 8-can Variety Pack featuring (2x 4 flavor):

• Blueberry, Peach & a Twist of Lemon
• Raspberry, Lemon & a Hint of Lavender
• Apricot & a Touch of Ginger
• Pear, Lime & a Touch of Cucumber

However, what put them on the map was the Dillon's Gin Cocktails. As Geoff Dillon shared, "I've had so much fun introducing people to gin. People say, 'I don't like gin' and then they have a sip of our cocktails. Just about everyone is a convert on the spot. We've found a way to bring the best of gin into these really delicious flavors that make people fall in love with gin. For anyone that is looking for something new, this is it! I promise you just need one sip."

New this year, Dillon's is launching another great flavor, Strawberry Rhubarb & a Zest of Lime Gin Cocktail. "I don't think you can imagine a more perfect summer drink, it's some of the flavors we grew up loving in the most refreshing combination."
