Rustan's Couture Cocktails
Everything is coming up fashion! Fashion week is
happening all around the world, and in the local scene, high-end department
store Rustan's has recently launched their World Wide Wear campaign. To
highlight that event, they've partnered with Raffles and Fairmont Makati
for a couple of fashion-inspired cocktails!
The stylish spirits are specially concocted by the hotel's mixologists and bear the sartorial signature of Rustan's top fashion labels: Thomas Pink, Façonnable, Hackett, Natori, Patis Pamintuan Tesoro, Lady Rustan, and Monique Lhuillier.
My friends and I tried the 7 creations along with some of the Long Bar staples. Were they good? Here's what I can tell you, we were all smiling like a bunch of Cheshire cats {either from contentment or from being buzzed - great either way} by the end of the night. But seriously, these mixes were delicious! I liked the Red Fox and Belvedere Vodka the most.
Pink Champagne - a
cherry blossom and champagne spritz tribute to Monique Lhuillier
Belvedere Vodka - Menswear
tailoring meets bespoke beverages with the B&B bearing Façonnable's classic
French Riviera flavor
Thomas Pink's Red Fox - a
gin-based Bloody Mary which pays tribute to Thomas Pink
Lady Daiquiri - a
nod to the in-house brand, Lady Rustan
Oriental Bubbly - a
ginger-spiked cocktail stamped with Natori’s exotic flair
The London Bourbon - homage to Hackett's British roots
Boho Martini - inspired by Patis Pamintuan Tesoro for Rustan’s, featuring
the vibrant local flavor of calamansi

Thursday nights is Casa Noble Tequila night {until the end of November}! Three cocktails equal one free appetizer. You can choose from any of these: Nachos and Salsa, Ceviche, Quesadilla, Chile Rellenos, and Beef Fajita.
The sun-dried nuts are complimentary. Here's the fun part: true to the Raffles' custom, you can throw the peanut shells on the floor! It is encouraged, actually. See?
Getting responsibly {?} intoxicated is never fun without a few munchies; make that a few delicious munchies! Ultra-crisp chili and tamarind rubbed Pork Rinds and Calamari Moros y Christianos {black and white battered squid}.

Apart from the drinks and the food, what I like most about this place is the amazing service. It is something I appreciate a lot. Big thanks to the Long Bar staff! Sorry guys, I'm really bad with names.
