Lambanog

Lambanóg is a traditional Filipino distilled palm liquor. It is an alcoholic liquor made from the distillation of naturally fermented sap (tubâ) from palm trees such as sugar palm, coconut, or nipa. The most popular variety is produced from the distilled coconut sap which is commonly described as "coconut vodka" due to its clear to milky white color and high alcohol content. It originates from Luzon and the Visayas Islands (where it was historically known as dalisay de coco, among other names). During the Spanish colonial period, it was also known as vino de coco in Spanish (despite being distilled and thus not a wine). In the international market, it is commonly sold as "coconut vodka" or "palm brandy."

Lambanóg usually has a clear to milky white color. It has a final alcohol content of 40 to 45% abv, which is similar to whiskey or vodka. Lambanóg is used as a base liquor for various flavored spirits and cocktail creations. Its smoothness has been compared to that of Japanese sake and European schnapps.
