To end your dining experience, diners will be treated to a gin botanicals ice cream sandwich to satisfy their sweet tooth. The dessert consists of honey and oat cookie and is then dipped into Four Pillars orange marmalade and white chocolate. 
The Westin Melbourne's executive chef Michael Greenlaw teamed up with Four Pillar's creative director Matt Wilkinson to create the menu infusing different elements of gin into each of the dishes.
'Developing these recipes with Matt and getting to work with ingredients like the spent botanicals has been a great experience,' Mr Greenlaw said. 
'All the snacks have been created using native Australian seafood, all with incredible stories from the Murray cod to the hand dived scallops direct from Port Phillip Bay.'
