“The BaR was created with the young crowd who live to party and enjoy the nightlife in mind,” says Mr. Kendrick Tan of The Bar Beverage, Inc., and the brains behind the revolutionary party drink. “Made with the highest quality neutral alcohol mixed with only the finest fruit flavors, it is the drink of the future as the world turns its focus to flavored spirits as well. All you need is ice, and you get the party started.”

A real first of its kind, The BaR is versatile as it is smooth. Although it is great on its own when served on ice because of its refreshing citrus flavors Filipinos grew accustomed to, it is also a superior mixer for cocktails. Now everyone can bring the party with them wherever they go with no hangover. Guaranteed!

It is so good that the likes of the lovely Ms. Angelica Panganiban and the dashing Mr. Jake Cuenca, The BaR’s official endorsers, can’t help but rave about the product.

“My first sip of The BaR Orange Vodka was pure bliss and I instantly fell in love with the drink. So when I let my friends try it out during a recent outing, I was sure that they’d feel the same. It’s very light on the taste buds, sweet and fruity, just the way we ladies like our drinks. It doesn’t get any better than that,” Angelica says of her experience.

Equally ecstatic is Jake who shares, “I’m a person who enjoys his drink. With The BaR Lemon and Lime Gin on the rocks, I found the perfect combination of flavor and alcohol without experiencing a hangover. Plus, my buddies and I no longer spend too much since it is very affordable.”

The BaR comes in a classy bottle with a spill-proof pourer and quality label, truly a first-class drink that’s in a league of its own. However, consumers will be more than delighted to know that everyone can have their toast of The BaR for well under one hundred bucks per bottle!

“Simply put, The BaR is a high quality, fun, stylish, and affordable party drink made for everyone. We believe that this is indeed the future of drinks here in the country,” Angelica encapsulated.

Enjoy The BaR at your nearest bars, supermarkets, convenience stores, liquor stores, sari-sari stores, and the hottest clubs like Embassy Superclub and The Manor. A quality product of The Bar Beverage, Inc., a subsidiary of Emperador Distillers, Inc.
