In the Philippines, we do not measure time—we harvest it.
From sunrise to midnight, every hour is shaped by the hands of the Filipino farmer—built on patience, resilience, and respect for nature.
From Davao cacao to banana harvests and siling labuyo, these are not just ingredients—they are stories.
This mirrors the legacy of Giffard—over 135 years of transforming nature into craft.
Our story begins at dawn.
At five in the morning, the world is still.
This is the hour of clarity.
The first cocktail captures this moment.
Built on Giffard Thoquino Cachaça, lifted by Corazon Blanco Tequila.
Giffard Crème de Cacao White honors Davao cacao, while Piment d’Espelette brings a gentle heat.
Balanced with acid-adjusted vermouth—clean, precise, intentional.

As the sun sets, the rhythm changes.
The farmer leaves the field—tired, worn, fulfilled.
And at night, we gather.
We share. We pass the glass.
Tagayan.
Where stories flow, and hardship turns into laughter.
The second cocktail reflects this moment.
Calvados brings depth.
Giffard Banana du Brésil honors the harvest.
China-China Bigallet adds bittersweet complexity.
Lifted with Mediterranean tonic and a bitter-adjusted acid solution—vibrant and alive.

Together, these cocktails tell the story of the Filipino farmer—
From sunrise to night.
From labor to laughter.
From solitude to community.

and this is a tribute to the hands that feed us—
and the moments we share.
