“We are celebrating our 400 years in 2020. We thank beep™ Cards for partnering with us. One of the thrusts of our celebration is to give back, thus, we are targeting to have 400 scholars. This is one way of helping your beloved Letran celebrate its 400 years. Siempre Arriba, Siempre Letran!” Jhennie Villar- co-chair of the Letran Quadricentennial celebration.

The celebrations are divided into phases  (the past, the present, the future, and forever) covering important parts of Letran’s story, among which is the Conquistar Nuevas Glorias (Conquering New Glories) phase, where celebrations dwell on the future, looking forward to everything it holds.

I’ve wanted to try Tim Hortons since I first heard about it but didn’t have the chance until I was invited to attend the launching of Non-coffee Iced Capp. This latest Canadian brand’s signature iced blended drinks come in three delightful flavors:

• Cookies and Cream Iced Capp – Frozen blended beverage with double shot of cream, flavored with chocolate and shortbread cookie, topped with whipping cream and cookie crumbs.

“Non-coffee Ice Capp is a great way to feel cool in the sweltering heat.  We all have a different preference for our cool drinks and we want to have a treat for our guests who like their summer drinks cool, tasty and without caffeine but with all the deliciousness of our regular Iced Capp,” said Stephanie Guerrero - Marketing Director for Tim Hortons Philippines.

There is no reason to miss out on this concoctions these amazingly fresh summer sippers contains refreshing ingredients, helping you beat the heat and satisfy your sweet cravings. One thing I love the most about this drinks is that it doesn't contain too much sugar just the right amount of sweetness. I  prefer the Strawberry Shortcake Iced Capp, the fact that I’m a strawberry lover this would probably be my best choice then pair it with the healthy and delicious Tuna Wrap that is made with fresh chunky tuna bits, mixed with lettuce, onions, cheese and tomato with a sweet lite mayo dressing in a grilled tortilla wrap.

Jim Beam Highball Refreshments Served at the Pop-up Bar in Bonifacio High Street

Chill out nights happened at the Jim Beam Highball Pop-up Bar in Bonifacio High Street, Taguig last April 25 to 28, 2019. 

Instead of ordering the same cocktail drinks everytime you hang-out at the bar with your drinking buddies, why not give your taste bud something new to explore. Transform your all-time typical drinks into a whole new level of refreshing taste of Jim Beam Highball Refreshments. 

Had so much fun during our stay at the bar. Live bands performances and exciting games were in store for every one where you can win free drinks and mugs. We were served with these exciting new tastes of Jim Beam Highball Refreshments. You can choose from 5 different flavors on the menu: the calamansi, grapefruit, yuzu lychee, watermelon and peach. And if you’re the hardcore type of drinker try the classic Jim Beam Bourbon for your satisfaction.

Even when you're at home chilling with friends you can make your own creation of Highball by doing the following simple procedures:

1. Squeeze a wedge of lemon into a tall glass.

2. Pour 30ml of Jim Beam Bourbon.

3. Put some ice cubes.

4. Add soda water.

5. Stir once and serve.

I too, had the chance to make my own Highball during the event. Since I don't normally drink, i consider this citrus cocktail refreshment perfect for the hot season. With all the mixtures put together it created awesome blend that can surely uplift your spirit.
