What's more local than gin made from herbs and botanicals from your own rooftop garden? That's exactly what the Fairmont Royal York has done in partnership with Dillon's Small Batch Distillers, taking full advantage of the rooftop’s pineapple sage, nasturtium, and lemon verbena at the hotel. Naturally, the Library Bar developed a cocktail recipe using the new product to celebrate.
At the Fairmont Royal York, the bartenders use its on rooftop honey in this recipe for ultimate freshness and flavour.
