We’ve had a great, if slightly unusual, summer – but all of a sudden (seemingly), September is here, the nights are drawing in and it’s getting chilly again. But never fear: we’ve got a cocktail to bring a bit of warmth into your weekend. The Coffee and Clove Negroni made with Oxley Gin is a warming take on the classic, and a great creative outlet for those who like to get a bit experimental with their drinks. The cocktail was developed by Matt Maretz at Employees Only in New York as part of Oxley Gin’s Team Labs Series, which saw bartenders from around the world create a serve with its cold-distilled gin.
