Next time you are in time make sure to stop in and say hi to Mixologist Billy Phillips and order a What the Dill-io cocktail.
"We recommend this cocktail as it is super refreshing, easy to create at home and a total crowd-pleaser, especially great for barbeques and pre-party warm-ups,” he explains.
Made with dill and chilli-infused blanco tequila, you will need to make this at least 24 hours in advance, by steeping the tequila with fresh dill and green chilli – make sure you keep the mixture at room temperature and then fine strain it back into the bottle.
With its everyday flavours, found at local markets or even grown at home that you don't often see together, this cocktail has one of those flavour profiles that hit all the right spots on the sweet/sour/bitter/fresh scale.
Rhum Burgundy cocktails are about delivering high-quality drinks, affordable and always with that wow factor. Our mixologist Billy is award-winning and extremely well-known and respected in the region for pairing flavours together that create a perfect balance for any type of flavuor profile.
This specific cocktail is refreshing and sour, balanced with the right amount of bitterness to suit any classic Margarita drinker looking for something to hit that craving at a different angle.
Where did the inspiration for this cheeky libation come from? Macka B’s Medical Monday rap about the benefits of eating cucumber led to Billy concocting the Dill-io.
Try this cocktail on a Friday afternoon to relax after a long and stressful work week. Alternatively, you could take the party home and concoct the
perfect drink to usher in the weekend.
