Looking for a weekend hangout away from the dizzying pace of the metro? BRB offers a change of pace with Volume 2 of its cocktail menu, which retains the original’s newspaper-inspired format, coded references, and Prohibition-era storytelling.

Featuring eight signature cocktails and six classics, the menu spotlights Filipino ingredients, from Kapeng Barako and muscovado to coconut, greenhouse herbs, and honey harvested right at the resort. The team has also revisited each drink, rethinking both flavor and presentation.

The BRB team will also shake behind the bar at @cantebar in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, this Friday, October 16, serving a selection of their signature cocktails. If you're in Mongolia, drop by for a taste of BRB's signature cocktails!
