GET MIXING AT PEDRO MANDINGA
Locals and visitors alike love Pedro Mandinga and La Rana Dorada for their artisanal brews and handcrafted rum cocktails. They are a staple here in town offering fabulous happy hour specials, salsa nights, sponsored community events and super-cool tours of their distillery and brewery in Tumba Muerto. Recently, they introduced their “Ron de Coco Silver Pedro Mandinga” or Artisanal Coconut Rum of Panama. This sweet rum is an instant classic as it combines beautifully with fruits and savory flavors evoking the taste of the tropics. Always innovating, Pedro Mandinga has come up with a unique way to make your mark on the menu at this local favorite, introducing a contest that could put your very own cocktail on their menu. So, if you fancy yourself a bit of a mixologist: this is how you can get mixing at Pedro Mandinga.
