About This Spirit from the Maker
UBE CREAM LIQUEUR
Introducing the world's first Ube Cream Liqueur. Once you open this bottle, all will enjoy it and want more. Multi-awarded in the USA for the flavor, not too sweet, just right.
An innovative blend of sugar cane vodka from Negros Philippines blended with full cream and the star of the show, Filipino Ube.
This deliciously creamy liqueur is a national icon. It's best served chilled. It can easily be consumed as a shot or neat on the rocks, layered on shooters, or a boozy Halo Halo.

How We Feel About the Spirit
Agimat Ube Cream Liqueur: A Purple Treasure From the Philippines
Some bottles are planned. Others become part of your story the moment you taste them. Agimat Ube Cream Liqueur somehow managed to be both.
Before we even boarded our flight to the Philippines, we knew one thing for sure: we wanted to bring home an ube liqueur. Ube has always held a special place in our hearts—its vibrant color, its nostalgic sweetness, its deep roots in Filipino culture. If we were going to collect spirits from the homeland, an ube bottle felt essential.
💜 A Cocktail That Sparked a Quest
On our very first night in Manila, while staying at the Marriott Hotel, we ordered an ube cocktail simply because it felt right—first night, first taste of home. What we didn’t expect was how good it would be. Creamy, fragrant, and unmistakably ube.
Naturally, we asked what was in it. The answer: Agimat Ube Cream Liqueur.
And just like that, our quiet intention turned into a mission.
🔍 The Hunt Begins
Finding the bottle was not as easy as we imagined. We searched shops, asked around, followed leads, and kept our eyes open everywhere we went. Manila has no shortage of spirits, but this particular bottle—this beautiful, purple, velvety promise—proved elusive.
But that’s part of the fun, isn’t it? The chase. The anticipation. The moment when a bottle becomes more than a purchase and turns into a memory.
Eventually, we found it. Not just one bottle, but two—because by then we had learned something important: Agimat Ube Cream Liqueur isn’t available in the United States. If we wanted to enjoy it again, it had to come home with us.
So we carried both bottles back across the ocean, tucked safely among our other Filipino treasures.
✨ A Flavor Worth the Journey
Agimat Ube Cream Liqueur is everything we hoped it would be—lush, creamy, unmistakably ube, and beautifully balanced. It’s the kind of bottle you savor slowly, not just for its flavor but for the story behind it.
In our Sipping Room, it stands proudly among the spirits that represent our heritage and our travels. But it also lives on our palate, because this is one bottle we do enjoy. Some spirits we save for the right moment; this one is the moment.
💜 Final Thoughts
Agimat Ube Cream Liqueur is more than a delicious drink. It’s a reminder of our first night in Manila, of the joy of discovery, of the thrill of the hunt, and of the pride we feel bringing Filipino flavors into our home.
It’s a purple treasure—one we’re grateful to have in our collection and even more grateful to have tasted.

💜 Cocktail Suggestion: The Manila Moonrise
If Agimat Ube Cream Liqueur had a signature moment in our trip, it would be that first night at the Marriott — the soft Manila evening, the glow of city lights, and that unforgettable purple cocktail that started it all. Inspired by that memory, here’s a simple, elegant drink that captures the same spirit.
Manila Moonrise
Ingredients
2 oz Agimat Ube Cream Liqueur
1 oz vodka (or white rum for a softer profile)
1 oz coconut cream
½ oz simple syrup (optional, depending on sweetness preference)
A splash of cold milk or half‑and‑half to lighten the texture
Ice
Toasted coconut or ube powder for garnish
Instructions
Add the ube liqueur, vodka, coconut cream, and simple syrup to a shaker filled with ice.
Shake vigorously until chilled and silky.
Strain into a chilled coupe or rocks glass.
Add a small splash of milk to create a soft, dreamy gradient.
Garnish with a pinch of toasted coconut or a dusting of ube powder.
Flavor Notes
Creamy, floral, lightly boozy, and unmistakably ube — it’s a dessert cocktail without being heavy. The coconut lifts the ube beautifully, and the vodka keeps the drink balanced rather than overly sweet.
