As we eagerly anticipate the holidays, which involve exploring the vibrant nightlife of Manila, there's one aspect that can quickly dampen the excitement: the dread of getting stuck in traffic before the fun even begins.

Enter the Monkey Mixer Van.

Offering an on-the-go experience that ensures you can enjoy lively nights out even while navigating the city's congested roads, Monkey Shoulder, the 100-percent malt whisky tailored for mixing, welcomes those young at heart to embrace the #MakeItMonkey spirit and hop on to get the party started from the road.

Kick off the night at the pop-up bar by the Monkey Shoulder Christmas Tree at BGC before boarding the Monkey Mixer Van for a bar crawl across Metro Manila.

As you look forward to the Monkey Shoulder cocktail that awaits at each bar stop, the party starts onboard. Groove to the beat of your favorite tunes as you play DJ for the night, and treat yourself to party snacks while sipping on delicious OMG cocktails, a tasty mix of Monkey Shoulder and Dry Ginger Ale with a garnish of an orange wedge.

How to join the fun

If you're eager to #MakeItMonkey and secure your spot aboard the Monkey Mixer Van, simply purchase one bottle of Monkey Shoulder from participating bars and you will have the opportunity to win two tickets for the Monkey Mixer Van, which you'll need to register for. Or, buy two bottles from participating e-commerce partners Boozeshop, Boozy, Flasked and Soju Express to get two tickets.

Participants must be of legal drinking age, and each adventure includes stops at three bars in the area, and participants will get a tasty Monkey Shoulder cocktail at each bar.

If you'd rather avoid the traffic altogether, the Monkey Shoulder Mixing Tree and Pop-Up Bar at Bonifacio Global City offer a cheeky and playful alternative.
