1. Proudly Promdi

Astonished by local spirits like bugnay and tapuey rice wine, Ken Alonso started Proudly Promdi: a company dedicated to championing local beverages. Since its inception, the brand has evolved to include an online liquor store offering a wealth of heritage spirits from local brands, a range of pre-mixed bottled cocktails, and a mobile bar.

Known as the Travelling Filipino Cocktail bar, the service highlights uniquely Filipino flavours utilising the local spirits from their shop’s portfolio. Their modern Filipino cocktails make memorable additions to any event, complete with a wooden bar on wheels inspired by the traditional ice cream sorbetero.
