Cocktails with ube

A delicious cocktail recipe for Ube Margarita

Created at Wayan NYC, the Ube Ume is a riff on a Rum Sour with the addition of Saki and the beautiful colour of Ume Plum Liqueur

I created a cocktail recipe inspired by my Filipino upbringing and culture. This recipe utilizes a prominent southeast-asian ingredient: Ube, a purple root vegetable similar to sweet potato but a touch sweeter. This particular flavor profile of coconut, ube, and milk reminds me of cooking ube inspired desserts with my Lola when I still lived in the Philippines. Call it a homage, of sorts, I call it delicious and nostalgic.

Ube pudding is a desert that some of you may know, but what happens when you mix in a bit of vodka? In this exotic cocktail recipe we find out.

I wanted to do a fun riff on a Pina Colada with an Asian ingredient. Ube (pronounced like ooh bay) is a Filipino sweet potato with nutty and vanilla notes that play well with the ingredients in a Pina colada. It has a beautiful deep dark purple hue and it drinks like a dream.

The Alligator Bait cocktail is a bold and daring mix of flavors. It is sweet, sour, and slightly spicy, with a strong kick from the alcohol. The combination of melon liqueur, pineapple juice, and jalapeño creates a unique and exciting taste experience.

UBE COLADA: 1.5 oz Coconut Cream 2oz Spiced Rum (I used 896 - A Barbados Dark Rum) 1.5oz Pineapple Juice 0.5oz Lime Juice (Fresh of course!) 0.5oz - 0.75oz of Ube Syrup Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice and shake for 20 to 30 seconds. Pour over pebble ice and garnish with a few pineapple fronds.
