Lambanog

Lambanóg is a traditional Filipino distilled palm liquor made from the naturally fermented sap (tubâ) of the coconut palm. 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 80 to 90 proof (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.

The term "lambanóg" may also be applied to distilled tubâ made from the sap of other palm species, like the nipa palm (sasa or nipa) and the sugar palm (kaong), but these are usually differentiated by other regional native names like laksoy.
