- Bacardi Legacy Cocktail Recipe of Cedric Mendoza
- Senior Bartender at Singapore Manhattan
Cedric Mendoza’s entry to the Bacardi Legacy Cocktail competition in Singapore is something that could ignite our sense of Filipino Pride. Named after the Tagalog word for “gift,” Regalo conveys a couple of meanings. It’s Cedric’s gift to everyone, and it’s also a nod to the gift he got when he turned 18, which was his first bottle of Bacardi. This well-rounded drink has the right amount of sweetness and bitterness, and goes down smoothly. The SMB Pale is used specifically because it is the local lager available here. The addition of local beer gives each Regalo cocktail the flavor of the place where it is made.

- 45 ml Bacardi 8 years
