COCKTAILS
Lakan Signature Cocktails
All cocktails were inspired by Philippine beaches – considered by travelers as some of the best beaches in the world. I imagined drinking every single Lakan cocktail while watching the waves with soft sand between my toes. To complement our very own coconut spirit, I used authentic local ingredients.
