Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Pinterest DrinkManila partnered up with Don Revy (distributor of globally-renowned unique beers, wines, and spirits) for the third leg of our month-long celebration of all things gin. The dreadful payday-Friday night traffic did not deter gin enthusiasts from all over the metro from converging at Bevvy, Don Revy’s in-house bar and showroom in Chino Roces, Makati. Guests came to quench their thirst for gin, and they had a selection of twelve gin and tonic combinations curated by DrinkManila. The featured gins allowed people to explore the flavors of Whitley Neill gins, namely, J.J. Whitley Nettle, J.J. Whitley Elderflower, Whitley Neill Quince, Whitley Neill Pink Grapefruit, Whitley Neill Aloe & Cucumber, J.J. Whitley London Dry, Whitley Neill Raspberry, Whitley Neill Small Batch, Whitley Neill Rhubarb & Ginger, Whitley Neill Blood Orange Gin, Whitley Neil’s Parma Violet, plus Belgravia. Exciting garnishes plus Lamb and Watt tonics were partnered with the gins to highlight each of their flavors. Our first five customers and those who shared their experiences and Gin Cocktail photos on Facebook and Instagram got their free Ocean Madison Burgundy glasses. Busy night at the Bevvy Albert Cartagena After the unlimited gin and tonic buffet, guests were still craving for gin! DrinkManila’s mixologist Icy Mariñas went behind the bar to create unique craft gin cocktails to satiate the thirsty crowd.
