In May, Dillon’s Small Batch Distillers, the Canadian distillery best known for its gins, announced the U.S. launch of a trio of gin-based canned cocktails.

“Our refreshing cocktails bring together our handcrafted spirits, locally inspired flavors, and a big splash of soda water,” Dillon’s founder Geoff Dillon said in a news release. “When it all comes together in perfect balance, that’s how you know a cocktail has been made the right way. We hope you’ll enjoy them as much as we do.”

Each containing 5% ABV, the line of RTDs come in three flavors:

The canned cocktails all contain Dillon’s gin, distilled through seven different botanicals. At 5% ABV, they promise to be light and refreshing, ideal for summer sipping.

Consumers can try all three flavors in an 8-can variety pack. Additionally, the Tangerine and Blackberry flavors will sell in individual 4-packs.

In 2022-23, the Tangerine, Lemon & a Hint of Mint flavor earned a Double Gold Medal and won “Best of Class — Signature Cocktail” at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, according to Dillon’s.
