The winter weather means outdoor terraces are out and cosy fireside spots are in, we are all looking to swap our summery cocktails for cosy winter alternatives. The Negroni is the perfect cocktail on a cold winter’s night, its classic 100th-year-old combination of Vermouth, Campari and Gin, provides a perfect base for creative twists with winter flavours such as Sloe, Fig and Orange.
