Let’s make a Filipino inspired margarita riff to celebrate both #CincoDeMayo and #AAPIHeritageMonth🇵🇭

If you’ve seen the #AAPI acronym floating around, it stands for Asian-American/Pacific Islander. 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.



ingredients:

  • 1½ oz @patron Reposado Tequila

  • ½ oz Fresh Lime Juice

  • ½ oz Agave Syrup (1:1)

  • ½ oz Coconut Cream

  • 1 oz Ube Evaporated Milk

  • Ube Dust Garnish

  • Shaved Coconut Garnish

tools:

instructions:

Combine ingredients (except garnishes) in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and strain over pebble ice in a rocks glass. Garnish with a dusting of Ube powder and shaved coconut . Serve and enjoy.
