Ever tried a gin so smooth it's practically irresistible? Meet this dry gin! With the perfect balance of juniper and a hint of citrus, it's ideal for a G&T that hits the spot.

This is what they mean with Dry July, right!? ๐Ÿ˜‰

COOKBOOK 2.0

Itโ€™s been a while since we created our last cookbook so weโ€™re really excited to announce that we are working on a new cookbook.

Cookbooks are definitely a labour of love, so the plan is for it to be available the first quarter of 2025. Our new book will be a combination of exciting recipes, plus some exciting new ones.

Add your name to our mailing list (link in bio) to make sure youโ€™re the first ones to hear about it. Watch this space for sneak peeks, previews and BTS fun!

At Dragonfly, we believe in quality down to the last cube of ice! Why do we insist on using clear ice for some of our cocktails? Because it's not just about looksโ€”it's about taste.

Clear ice holds up the quality of your drink longer, preventing it from becoming watered down too quickly. With slower melting rates, your favourite cocktails stay refreshingly flavourful sip after sip.

And don't worry you still get the same amount of liquid to enjoy!

Although we are not normally open for lunch, Dragonfly is available for private events during the day.

We do not charge a hirage fee, instead to have Dragonfly exclusively for a daytime event we require a minimum spend.
