Located in the heart of Ballarat, Kilderkin Distillery on Hill Street in Mount Pleasant is an artisan producer of spirits including Larrikin gin, gin liqueurs and Kilderkin whisky. As the first distillery in Ballarat since the 1930s, Kilderkin blends tradition with innovation to create exceptional spirits and there’s a story in every sip. The distillery and adjoining bar are housed in an old warehouse, refurbished into a warm and welcoming space for guests to relax and experience individually curated gin or whisky flights, cocktails, craft beer and cider; accompanied by a range of food selections.
Venue manager, Martin Tong recommends trying the Tutti Frutti cocktail next time you drop by:
"Impress your friends with this simple four-ingredient cocktail. Bursting with citrus flavours, this drink combines Kilderkin Distillery's much-loved Larrikin Backyard Limoncello with the special release, Larrikin Backyard Arancello,” he says.
"Filled with sweet, citrus goodness, the Tutti Frutti is simple to create yet complex in flavour. It’s zesty, refreshing and perfect for Summer entertaining. Change up the fruit garnishes to add your own flair.”
Kilderkin sources its ingredients locally wherever possible with the Backyard Arancello and Limoncello full of the finest, organic produce from Victoria’s own Warby Range citrus, where orange and lemon trees date back more than 100 years!
The cocktail’s name Tutti Frutti means ‘all fruits’ in Italian – need we say more?
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.
