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.
Ingredients
- 1 oz Plantation Pineapple
- 1/2 oz Light Rum
- 1/2 oz Jamaica Rum Wray and nephew
- 1 oz Coconut Cream
- 1/2 oz Ube Syrup
- 1/2 oz Lime Juice
- 1/2 oz Pineapple Juice
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients into a shaker, whip shake with a little pebble ice, strain over pebble ice in a tall glass, and garnish with a pineapple leaf and dehydrated lime wheel.
- *To make Ube syrup add a 10:1 ratio of simple syrup to ube extract (butterfly brand) Shake to combine.
