• Perfect Your Stir: Take your time when stirring to achieve the ideal dilution and chill. It’s all about balance and finesse.

• Adjust to Taste: If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a touch more Vermouth Blanc. For a more pronounced pandan flavour, increase the Pandan Panacea. Customize your Boracay Old Fashioned to suit your palate.
