Spotted!
You certainly clicked through and it looks like you’re looking for a head-buzzing drink! TAGAY!
I bet you need one now more than ever for whatever reason it may be. A sip, glass, shot, or bottle may do the trick to calm the nerves and clear the mind off of things.
If you’re a bibulous person like me who is fond of alcoholic beverages, let’s TAGAY to that!
Well, if you’re on the other side of the spectrum, don’t go just yet because who knows when that day may come you’ll be needing a drink. So let this be your guide in selecting the perfect liquor best-suited for you when you decide to drink!
Get ready to dive into the realm of merry-making and read on as I share with you a list of liquors that best suits the element you associate with.
Earth
If you associate yourself with the earth — grounded and calm — I would suggest you go with tubâ, a Filipino alcoholic beverage made from the sap of various species of palm trees. Depending on the region you’re in, the color may vary from white and red.
If you haven’t tried one yet, now’s the perfect time to try it since most of us are now back in the province where there is an abundant supply of this traditional drink. Tubâ is definitely a must-try drink in the country, and you can have it sweet or sour and acidic, depending on your taste preference. And to top it off, freshly-gathered tubâ only has 7.3% alcohol volume!
What a way to cap the weekend off with a light buzz and a sense of pride to have tasted the country’s famous coconut wine.
Air
The element of air is known for clear communication and self-expression. If you associate with that, I suggest trying out the products from Tanduay — the Philippines’ number one rum.
You may know their longnecks and lapads from your earliest days of drinking, but Tanduay actually offers a wide variety of liquors that are worth exploring. All can give you a boost in expressing yourself more and get you chatting.
Wow, I’m having a hard time choosing what to recommend because each has a very distinct taste and their versatility makes my taste buds explode with satisfaction. You can drink their products straight-up, on the rocks, or you can spice it up by making a cocktail drink!
- Tanduay Rhum 5 years/ 65 years
- Embassy Whisky
- Tanduay Rhum White
- Tanduay Asian Rum Silver/Gold
- Tanduay 1854
- Tanduay Superior
- Tanduay Select
- Boracay Rum: Cappuccino/Coconut
I’ve tasted all these straight-up, with a chaser, and even had some in a cocktail! And they all had me feeling very pleased. You can visit their website for cocktail recipes that’ll make your drinking experience impressively splendid!
Water
People who associate with this element are adaptive — the ones who go with the flow. I would recommend drinking either The BaR Pink, Premium Dry, or Lime Gin. Their effects are like waves on the beach.
The first wave is a calm one — you can feel it but you’re unbothered by it. You take a sip or down a glass and it’s still all good. Next is the second wave where it’s stronger than the first one, yet it’s a pleasant buzz. You take another drink and you’ll definitely feel that it’s starting to kick in. The final wave comes crashing and can knock you on your feet. You lost count of how many glasses you’ve had, sitting there thinking it’s all good but the moment you stand up, woah! You find yourself wobbling to the powder room.
But if you’re looking for a light buzz, you can try out The BaR Pink Grapefruit or Green Grape Fruity Mix. It can make you unleash your inner groove and make your body flow with the music because it only has 15% alcohol content! I can attest to this as I’ve seen my girlfriends loosen up with this drink, swaying hips with happy grins.
Fire
Certainly, people who associate themselves with fire are passionate, creative, and authoritative. Red Horse and Vino Kulafu are the epitomai of this element.
Red Horse is the life of the party in a typical Filipino gathering. It’s better to drink it ice-cold, yet once you consume it, it’ll get you feeling hot all over in the best way possible. The balance of sweetness and a smooth bitter finish is what keeps the people drinking for more.
The Vino Kulafu, on the other hand, has become the Chinese wine south of the country. It prides itself on 12 botanical herbs known to strengthen tendons and bones, treat mild anemia, and improve blood flow, athletic and sexual performances. You can actually drink Kulafu straight-up or you can mix it with your preferred chaser to balance off the strong taste.
These two liquors get you the right kind of buzz you’re looking for and make you last longer in tagay sessions. They unleash your inner creativity and alter ego you thought you never had — a love guru, stand-up comic, gymnast, performer, the list could go on.
So if you want to discover your secret identity, there’s no better way to find out than to try it for yourself! Brace yourself because I tell you, it gets better every time. It’s like unlocking a character or level in a game you love playing — you never know what you’ll be faced with. 😉
There may be a ton of different liquors out there but they all have the same purpose: to help you relax and help you have a good time!
Drinks do come in all shapes, sizes, bottles, and tastes, so choose the best drink in every occasion you celebrate or in every gathering you have.
Always remember to drink moderately and by moderation, I mean drink it with company so you can make the most out of the experience and drink. Also, drink responsibly and by that, I mean taking care of yourself and your drinking buddies when the need arises. Happy luro!
