Popular Filipino Drinks: Best Beverages For 2021

Interested in trying out the lambanog, gulaman, halo-halo, and Barako coffee? Find out more about this in our exclusive list of popular Filipino drinks in today’s post. You see, part of the reason why our team decided to work on this topic is that most of us are looking to entertain ourselves at home and are willing to try out different recipes from across the globe. One of the Asian countries with distinct refreshing beverages is the Philippines.

The Philippines is undeniably one of the countries with a lot to offer when it comes to tourism, its people, and its cuisines, making it an ideal tourist destination for foreigners. It is actually the home to a number of islands, and what sets it apart is the fact that almost every single place has its own delicious local specialties and fantastic food.

Since it is a tropical country, you can already expect that almost everything that will be served to you will feature the taste of fresh fruits such as coconuts, strawberries, mangoes, calamansi, and pineapple. Since Pinoys have a sweet tooth, you can also expect that almost all these are served cold with ice or made into shake coolers perfect for the summer weather. Some of these drinks also include a syrup of your choice, brown sugar, sago pearls (starch from palm trees similar to tapioca pearls), or condensed milk to make things extra interesting.

But of course, there is so much more to Filipino-style drinks that are sweet as there are also alcoholic options usually sold in bottles. Suppose you are after Filipino drinks that are punchy. In that case, you’d definitely fall in love with the locally fermented wine such as tapuy, tuba, and basi perfect to be partnered with chicharon (deep-fried dried pork similar to the Spanish’s chicharrón).

Before we get our mouths salivating with the idea of Filipino food and drinks, allow us to walk you through the top beverages that you might encounter at the international grocery section of your place or once you visit the Philippines. This article is divided into two: one will discuss the list of local drinks while the other will be about the other popular beverages that the locals usually dow.

Ready for that? Off we go!
