Lambanog
Lambanog is a traditional Filipino distilled spirit made from the sap of coconut flowers. It is often referred to as "coconut vodka" due to its clear appearance and high alcohol content, typically ranging from 40% to 60%. The production process involves fermenting the sap, known as "tuba," and then distilling it to create a potent beverage enjoyed in various regions of the Philippines.
This spirit is commonly consumed during celebrations and social gatherings, often served straight or mixed with fruit juices. Lambanog has gained popularity beyond the Philippines, with some brands exporting their products to international markets, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Filipino distillation practices.
