OX Hospitality - The Sophisticated Choice of Gin for Cocktails
It is of utmost importance to choose high quality, award winning gins that come with their own classic and contemporary cocktail recipes!
At the London Spirits Competition 2022, a panel of the best bartenders, bar managers/owners and spirit buyers tasted 2000+ spirits coming from 45+ countries, to award them with Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals.
Among category winners and medal winners was OX HOSPITALITY - a premium gin producing company that won 4 medals, 1 for each of its participating gins.
OX Hospitality also has its own Sipping Room at the distillery, a luxury venue recently added to their OX GIN Experiences that also includes the OX Gin Distillery Tour and OX Gin School.
