Mojito. 220 PHP
White Moon Bar, Manila PHILIPPINES
Ugh, I was disappointed overall at how badly Manila made cocktails. They were either super weak or super sugary. Now I like to drink, so you better make my cocktails right, Mr. Bartender! White Moon Bar fell into the crappy cocktail category. All the cocktails were a little off. The mojito was probably the most drinkable. The malibu pineapple was too sweet and the electric ice tea was ridiculously awful. We had to send that one back. I asked if they could make the lychee martini on the not-so-sweet side, so their solution was so mix in olive juice! Lychee + olive juice, can you imagine?! LOL, that tasted like crap too! Omg, where can I get a decent cocktail?!

The bar after sunset.
… at least the view at sunset was nice.
Whenever I travel overseas I always drink beer, because bartenders in other countries (especially Australia) just do not know how to make a proper cocktail … in my case, a Sapphire and tonic … hey mate, how about putting a little gin in that gin and tonic??? Or maybe we’re just spoiled by the ultra-strong drinks they serve in the Castro.
#firstworldproblems I think we’re just spoiled in general. I have cousins in London who always complain that American beers and ciders suck when they visit. But in terms of cocktails, bars shouldn’t advertise what they can’t deliver. Don’t put it on your menu if you don’t even know how to make it or make it properly.
