Get to Know the Event
What’s the Big Picture?
With so many new bars popping up all over the metro, The Philippine Cocktail Fiesta is here to shine a spotlight on the artistry, innovation, and passion driving our local scene.
This event isn’t just about cocktails; it’s about community, collaboration, and showcasing the evolving Philippine drinking culture.
What’s Coming Your Way?
Throughout the week, attendees can hop from one exciting city to another, indulging in cocktail pairing dinners, guest bartender shifts, industry talks, hands-on workshops, and exclusive guest shifts at some of the most exciting bars in Metro Manila.
The event features a star-studded lineup of local and international bartenders from top Asian bars, alongside key industry opinion leaders and organizers of regional cocktail festivals and events such as KLCW, Taiwan Can Drink, Taiwan’s Taichung Cocktail Camp, and India Bartender Show.
Who’s Behind It?
Powered by the community, the event is spearheaded by DrinkCollectiv.com, the Philippines’ first drink-centric publication (formerly DrinkManila) that has now expanded its reach in Asia, covering stories about the drinking culture across various cities and celebrating the dedicated individuals behind the drinks industry—and DBWY (Drinks Be With You), a community within the Philippine bar scene that brings together bartenders and enthusiasts through events and cocktail competitions.
