Tatler Dining presents Philippine Cocktail Festival, a celebration of our vibrant cocktail culture through a two-day ticketed event

For the first time ever, Tatler Dining brings you Philippine Cocktail Festival! We have designed a must-not-miss two-day event featuring the best mixologists; prepare yourselves for innovative cocktails, and of course, scrumptious food to boot. This highly anticipated event is co-presented by HSBC Philippines, with Gold Partner Shangri-La The Fort, Manila, and is supported by Johnnie Walker, Don Julio, Tanqueray 10, The Singleton, Moet Hennessy, and Don Papa Rum.

Tatler Dining’s Philippine Cocktail Festival will not only offer a range of phenomenal cocktails (that you probably have never tried before), but also a spread of delectable bar chow for guests to enjoy with every tipple. This festival is designed to raise a glass to the Philippines’ colourful, and playful bar scene, and to celebrate our beautiful cocktail culture.
