For the average tourist, Davao is known for many things, its vibrant street food, its elegant restaurants, and its fresh fruit, but another thing Davao is infamously known for is its liquor ban which allows alcohol to be served only until one in the morning.
But for the travellers who are already familiar with Davao, the liquor ban merely means that one should try to drink much earlier and this also means that we can take advantage of happy hour and its many deals.
Rolling out the newest happy hour deals for the month of February last January 30, Mixed Temptations is offering new cocktails and food menu items in time for Valentines day.
“We want to introduce new cocktails that are perfect for Valentines,” shared Mixed Temptation’s owner and resident mixologist Rogelio Canales, “and from 5:30pm to 9pm, all the cocktails are buy-one-take-one.” The new cocktails include Pink Lady, Strawberry Margarita, Shahgria, and a unique tasting Mango Banana Mojito.
For those who want to have wine instead of spirits, Mixed Temptations rolls out its Happy Hour Wine Buffet. For only Php300, you can have all the wine you want choosing from Mixed Temptation’s white and red wine selections. A Cheese Platter can be added for only Php398.
There is also a happy hour promo for a bucket of beer, with each six-bottle bucket costing only Php298. It even comes with its own plate of chips.
Recognising that the love month is not just about couples, Mixed Temptations is encouraging groups of friends to drop by for happy hour, with groups of four or more getting 20% off their total bill.
Yes, Davao’s liquor ban is a downer, but that just means that Dabawenyos can drink and have fun earlier than the rest of the Philippines.
