Prepare for falling temps with Bin 28’s Gingerbread Coffee
The sun has set on another summer, meaning tall, frosty cocktails and weekends at the shore are now merely memories. But fret not; with mercury falling and sunlight becoming scarcer each day, patrons can cozy up to the bar at Bin 28 in Andover for the ultimate autumn cocktail.
Created by bar manager Colin Welch, Bin 28’s Gingerbread Coffee is a rich mixture of fresh, hot coffee and sweet and spicy liqueurs. Garnishes include freshly whipped cream and a dusting of ground nutmeg, making the seasonal treat worthy of its own spot on the dessert list.
“A Gingerbread Coffee is the perfect end to a meal,” says owner Matt Morello. “It’s best with a light dessert, or by itself,” he says, considering the drink’s dessert-like characteristics. “The hazelnut of the Frangelico, the white chocolate of the Godiva, the coffee of the Baileys, and the gingerbread combine to create a flavor not found in other coffee cocktails.”
Whichever style you choose, it’s a surefire way to stay warm as those chilly fall temps set in. -Lindsay Lambert
