La Dolce Vita
I'm doing a write-up of the top unique drinks in Manila (which include Beer below Zero).
I recently ate at La Dolce Vita Italian Restaurant, and I came across their signature drink. La Dolce Vita cocktail drink is a mix of Absolute Mandarin, Absolute Kurant, Blue Curacao, Lychee Juice and Peach Puree. I like the presentation where it was served in a triangular glass on top of a small bowl with ice inside.
Can you recommend an interestingly unique drink in Manila?
Live an Awesome Life in God's Love,
P.S. Do you hang out in the La Dolce Vita Italian restaurant along Polaris street?


Hi Anton! I love cocktails, so I must say I'm always on the lookout for places that serve good, undiluted, reasonably-priced drinks.
My favorites would be: Chambord Margarita from Chili's; Mojitos from Cafe Havana; Ketel One Martinis at Sala Bistro; German Chocolate Cake shooters at Tabu.
You might also want to check out their giant martinis at Attica in A.Venue Makati. I haven't actually tasted them, but they're quite a sight.:-) Cheers!

I went to Puerto Princesa last Aug 2008, and I can't forget the drinks which my friend recommended me to try at Kinabuch. They were Flaming Ferrari, Lamborgini, and last but definitely the greatest is the Smoker's Delight. I guess those drinks are can't be seen in the menu. They are shooters which u wouldn't forget in your life. A MUST TRY !!!

The Manileño (a Manila version of the Mojito) at Martinis (Mandarin Oriental Hotel) is the best! Most of their Martinis are really good and served in different beautiful fancy cocktail glasses. Again, if it were not for the price (over P300; what I miser I am) I would visit more often!

Oh I also have to mention the Bellini's at Cibo! Not your usual watering hole so it is not top of mind but it is noteworthy!

Hey Anton,
I've been to La Dolce Vita as well and I have to say that this is a nice and classy place.
I'm from Europe and their interiors looks very familiar to me.
Besides the long range of cocktails I especially like there Italian cuisine.
