Cocktail enthusiasts looking to get involved can attend any of the 18 guest shifts being held across Makati CBD, Poblacion, and Bonifacio, sign up for a bar tour, or complete a cocktail passport to redeem exclusive MCF merchandise. 

It’s not all about drinking, trade-focused panels tackling topics like sustainability, service and cocktail trends will provide a platform for those in the industry to exchange knowledge and experience. 

“We have come a long way since 2011 when one of the first speakeasy cocktail bars opened in the country. This year three bars were recognized in Asia’s 50 Best Bars list, with many more gems to be discovered, and we are so excited to now have a platform to celebrate the cocktail scene and encourage more people to visit these great bars,” said Ken Bandivas, On Trade Commercial Manager, William Grant & Sons.
