“Apart from the classic version, modern varieties are often tinted, sweetened, and flavored. Lambanog is traditionally enjoyed neat, usually as a shot, but it also blends well in cocktails and mixed drinks,” it added.
Following lambanog on the list were Sctoland’ Islay Scotch, Serbia’s Viljamovka, and France’s Armagnac. See full list below:
