From the busy district of City of Pasay to Eastwood City, I
traveled almost 2 hours in EDSA and Ortigas (bumper to bumper traffic) on my motorcycle.
Just to check what is JimBeam Highball Pop-Up Bar is
all about. Oh no, it was a drinking event, and I brought my scooter. I did not drink too much to enjoy the night.
JimBeam Highball Pop-up Bar is a 5-day event from November 12 to 16 and features all-new highballs that were inspired by local flavors and designed specifically for the Filipino palate like Yuzu and Lemongrass Highball, Calamansi and Pandan Highball
, Pineapple and Basil Highball, Mango Spice Highball. You’ll also, see the return of familiar flavors that were available during last year’s pop-up bar in BGC like the Lychee and of course, the Signature Classic Highball. Each night lots of iconic OPM artists, bands and performers are present on the stage. (Ebe Dancel, The Juans, Clara Benin, Better Days and The Vowels they Orbit).

This night, I also saw some of my fellow bloggers jamming and potting some JimBeam Signature mixes. I sat with them and we enjoyed the party.

On stage, Clara Benin with her band, Clara Benin Pinay indie singer-songwriter is best known for her track "Parallel Universe".
Aside from OPM or night music, JimBeam also set-up fun game booths like
Jim Beam Highball Claw Machine, once you catch 1 ball, the crew will replace it with JimBeam items, as a prize. Same as the Highball Pong Game.
They also have the JimBeam mix video challenge, wherein you need to try to mix the JimBeam with lemon and soda while taking a video on your phone or camera, and then upload the video to your social media account, (FB or Instagram).
JimBeam new signature mixes. I preferred to drink the Pineapple Basil Mix. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo.
Since I brought my scooter, I did not drink too much, (need to have a presences of mind while driving back at home)
The food, Oh yes, a lot of appetizers drops on our table.
The night was so lots of JimBeam drinks (but I did not drink too much), food, fun, and memories, I got back home before 12 midnight. Some photos I took are available on my
Google Photos. Vlog about this experience soon up on my
Youtube Channel.

ABOUT JIM BEAM
Founded in 1795, Jim Beam is the world’s No. 1 bourbon and
has been operated by one family for seven generations. 220 years of experience
goes into every bottle, along with corn, rye, malted barley, water, time,
pride, and of course, true passion! Jim Beam White is the cornerstone of the
Jim Beam bourbon portfolio and it derives its rich, satisfying flavor from a treasured family recipe where every drop is aged in charred oak barrels. It
boasts an oaky vanilla aroma with a medium-bodied flavor with hints of vanilla
and caramel.
Jim Beam is best served in a Jim Beam Highball, a tall
cocktail of Jim Beam Bourbon over ice, topped with soda, and finished with a squeeze of citrus! This the concoction is the ultimate drink for our tropical
climate - it is without equal as a noon-time tipple, an after-work refresher or
a weekend party-starter!
