I tried it neat, on the rocks, and in a cocktail, and each way was a delight. The rich and creamy texture coats your tongue, leaving a subtle nutty aftertaste that leaves you wanting more. I was impressed by how versatile it is – it pairs well with a variety of flavors, from sweet to savory. What I love most about Ube Cream Liqueur is its story. The fact that it’s made from a precolonial root staple crop of the Filipino people and sourced directly from Filipino farmers makes it a true celebration of culture and community. Overall, I highly recommend Ube Cream Liqueur to anyone looking to try something new and exciting. It’s a true delight, and I can’t wait to experiment it out more with pulutan!
