“If my first love were a cocktail it would be a On A Sour Note”, by Lance Tabilin
Lance Tabilin shares his love story and how it relates to this twist on the whisky sour cocktail called “On a Sour Note”. Find out here!
I’m Lance Ezequiel A. Tabilin from the Philippines! I’m currently working as a bartender for After Hours Bar. This is my entry for “If My First Love Were a Cocktail”
This is my take on the classic Whiskey Sour! The cocktail is called On a Sour Note, It was fun at the start, but it didn’t end well. 🤣
This cocktail was inspired by my first love. Cooking. I originally wanted to be a chef, but because of a lot of different reasons – I got burned out too early. Now, I’m training myself to be an excellent bartender. I’ve learned to turn my sour life experiences into something positive. Something to fuel my burning desire to excel in everything I’m going to do.
I always keep one saying in mind: “You’ll never lose in life. It’s either you win or you learn.”
