Celebrating the Holidays with Don Papa Rum Cocktails
The holiday season in the Philippines is incomplete without festive beverages. This year, Don Papa Rum has brought the magic of the season to life with two special drinks that offer a distinct Filipino flair.
The premium Philippine rum brand has unveiled the Sugarlandia Sour and the Merienda Colada, two holiday cocktails with rich and indulgent flavors. These unique creations are the result of a collaboration between Audrey Gustilo, Don Papa Rum’s resident mixologist and brand ambassador, and Black Box, a popular bar in Katipunan, Quezon City.
The Sugarlandia Sour is a delightful blend of Don Papa Rum 7 years old, fresh kamias juice, and tamarind cordial that results in a tangy and sweet taste. The addition of yogurt popping caviar creates an interesting experience with every sip.
On the other hand, the Merienda Colada not only brings a festive vibe but also evokes nostalgia with its flavors. It combines Don Papa Rum 7 years old, ube cordial, pineapple juice, coconut, and rice milk, topped with white chocolate, kesong puti foam, rice milk crackers, banana puree, and a jello infused with Don Papa Rum 7 Years Old and jackfruit – a delightful blend of flavors and textures.
The cocktails were unveiled at a captivating sensory event in Baked Studios on November 15, 2023, where the enchanting world of Sugarlandia came to life. The stylized exotic foliage represented the lush flora and fauna of Sugarlandia, Negros Island, the home of Don Papa Rum.
To experience these delectable drinks for yourself, Don Papa Rum has partnered with The Spirits Library in Poblacion, Makati City, presenting glimpses of the magical world of Sugarlandia throughout the holiday season. Both the Sugarlandia Sour and the Merienda Colada will be available on their menu for three consecutive Fridays on November 24, December 1, and December 8.
You can purchase Don Papa Rum at their partner retailers: Landers, S&R, Kultura, Ralph’s Wines & Spirits, Boozy.ph, major supermarkets, and more.
