No one can deny the beauty of the sun setting in Manila. The way its fiery tones meet the deep blue of the bay is just magic, making it one of the go-to spots for anyone looking for a respite from the urban chaos. But in Solaire Resort, Manila’s premier integrated resort destination, witnessing Manila’s sunset becomes more luxe as its partners with Aperol Spritz for a special aperitivo experience.
Solaire transforms its Terraza space outside Finestra restaurant into the perfect chill spot with special mixes made with the refreshing bright orange Aperol Spritz. Aperitivo is an Italian dining tradition that stimulates one’s appetite before your main meal through antipasti and cocktails. So before guests enjoy their dinner at the many restaurants, the Paranaque-based hotel invites everyone to have a taste of its curated afternoon drinks.

“We believe this Terraza is an Eden, a treasure that is unexplored,” F&B director of Solaire Resort Daniel Blais said. “When we decided to do something here, we couldn’t get a better partner than the Campari Group.”
Manila Bulletin Lifestyle got a chance to enjoy Manila’s sundown at the hotel’s Terraza. If you’re planning on spending an afternoon at the alfresco space with a glass of “Italian Sunset,” here are drinks that will make your time there experience truly special.
The 2021 and Aperol Spritz drinks
Terraza Aperol features four concoctions that go perfectly well with the delectable eats courtesy of Italian Steakhouse Finestra. First is the Aperol Spritz, a classic mix of Aperol, Cinzano Procesco, and soda, which diners can enjoy on their own as they enjoy the view of the sunset. 2021, made with Aperol, green olive brine, and tonic, is a refreshing drink that goes well with the restaurant’s pizza and sliders with fries. Aperol Sour is like a sunset in a glass. It plays with the contrast of sweet and bitter notes with its Aperol, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white. While the Italian Job, the author’s favorite, is bright and tangy, with its Aperol, Campari, Amaretto, and lemon juice mix.
Savoring the picturesque Manila sunset will definitely be a one-of-a-kind experience with a glass of Aperol cocktail in your hands.
Terraza Aperol runs until December. To know more about it and for reservations, visit twww.solaireresort.com or @solaireresort on Instagram.
