It’s been months since the lockdown started, and though liquor bans have been lifted pretty much everywhere, bars are still off-limits (see: Makati Skye bar arrests). We can make do with wine, beer, and perhaps our amateur mixing skills, but nothing beats a professionally made drink. Thankfully, online sellers — and even some of your favorite bars — are now offering bottled cocktails. You know what to do next.
(Note: Most of these bottled cocktails sellers only deliver within Metro Manila and nearby provinces. To find out whether they deliver to your location, correspond with them directly.)
Proudly Promdi

Price range: From P550 per bottle
Proudly Promdi’s drinks play with favorite Filipino flavors. Their Ube Gandanghari, for instance, uses pandan rum mixed with ube macapuno shrub and coconut tincture. Also available are Langka Negroni, New York Cubao, and Lakay. Each bottle serves 3-4. To ensure quality and freshness, they only prepare small batches of the bottles and accept orders and payments from Saturdays to Wednesdays. Confirmed orders are delivered on Fridays.

Price range: From P390 per bottle
This popular Poblacion bar may be “temporarily at sea” (see their IG bio), but that doesn’t mean you can’t have your favorite Buccanneers cocktails at home. Their Buccanneers Sangria sells for P590 — that’s for a 500mL bottle, which is good for four servings.

I hardly drink and my husband usually drinks whiskey but we are now BOTH hooked on Fun-Aholic!’s colorful offerings. Best bang for the buck… correction, a humongous bang for the buck. Delish and smooth with a playful kick we usually share a bottle over dinner. We love all the flavors too with the Sangria, Wah-Pak, Mai Tai and Bughaw being our go-to favorites. Also, with what’s been going on, we love that we are able to help supoort a local business during these trying times.
