Pear bitters are the last thing anyone will ever expect, making them the first thing you should lean toward once everyone has an empty glass in hand. Made from fresh-pressed pear juice, the bitters is mixed with fresh vanilla beans, allspice berries, and ginger to add a subtle peppery finish. The result is a sweet, warm flavor that still retains its balance, and never fails to excite the palate.

Dillon's is a family affair, the product of a shared love of the finer things between Geoff and Peter Dillon, and Geoff's father-in-law Gary Huggins. The company's first products were made from a base of 100% Niagara grapes that would have otherwise been thrown on the ground during the thinning process. Since then, the line has expanded to include locally-grown herbs and grain sourced in Ontario and around the Twenty Valley.
