Manille Liqueur de Calamansi

 

Last Thursday I told Mom I would be home a little late because I was going to Niner Ichi Nana to attend the launch of a healthy fruit drink. 

I'm 34, but she seems to think I'm 4, that's why.

The "healthy fruit drink" was Manille Liqueur de Calamansi,
the newest product of Destileria Limtuaco

Manille is unique, zesty and fresh with a kick of calamansi. 
(It has some vodka in it, but Mom doesn't really need to know.)

Besides, I wasn't really BS-ing about the healthy part. Manille is an all natural product 
made using calamansi fruit from Mindoro, the calamansi capital of the Philippines.
You will find no artificial flavoring and preservatives in it. Only natural plant
pigments are used to enhance the product's color. Aaron will attest to this!
