The rainy season may have arrived in Metro Manila, but Don Papa Rum is showing that celebrations can continue no matter the weather. This August, the Endless Sugarlandia Season is set to keep the energy alive, even under cloudy skies.
Escape to Sugarlandia
Don Papa Rum, the award-winning Filipino single-island rum distilled from the finest Negros sugarcane, invites everyone to step into the warm and whimsical world of Sugarlandia. Aged in the humidity of sun-kissed barrels, this golden liquid is crafted to shine in any season, offering a burst of sunshine in every sip.
To bring this experience to life, Don Papa Rum is partnering with some of Metro Manila’s trendiest new bars, bringing a tropical escape right into the heart of the city even during the monsoon season.
Endless Sugarlandia Season Promos
From August 5 to September 5, 2025, visitors can enjoy a special sunset promo at select venues. Head to Frm Mgmt (From Management) in Rada, Makati, Polilya in Poblacion, Makati, and Engkanto Taps in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, and join in on the fun.
Guests are encouraged to take a photo with the iconic Don Papa Sugarlandia Mirror, post it on social media while tagging @donpaparum and using #EndlessSugarlandiaSeason, and receive a complimentary second Don Papa cocktail. The promo is designed to make the most out of the season with more than one drink to enjoy.
Signature Cocktails Inspired by Sugarlandia
Each participating bar has created its own Don Papa Rum cocktail, drawing inspiration from the brand’s unique heritage.
Vien Bote, Owner of Frm Mgmt, a cocktail lounge by night and cafe by day, shared, “Our cocktail dances between a sweetness and spice, just like the islands it was born from, and one cocktail called ‘Mask, Set, Go!’ is inspired by the MassKara Festival from Bacolod City in the Philippines.”
Frank Yu, Marketing Manager of Polilya, a sister company of Engkanto Taps, said, “Each of our cocktails brings Don Papa’s spirit and versatility to life in unique ways and are inspired by stories and personalities, each with its own playful twist.”
While Frm Mgmt and Polilya focus on the origin and stories of Don Papa’s golden liquid, Engkanto Taps offers a cocktail that highlights tropical flavors such as mango and lychee, perfect for those who crave a sweet, summery taste even on gray, rainy days.
