Preparation
Prepare the Earl Grey Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water, and add 1-2 bags of Earl Grey tea. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Allow to steep for 10 minutes, then remove tea bags and cool the syrup.
Caramelize the Lemon
Slice a lemon into rounds and sprinkle with sugar. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, place the lemon slices and cook until caramelized on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Set aside.
Prepare Ube Puree
If using fresh ube, steam and then mash until smooth. If using store-bought ube puree, simply measure out 1 teaspoon for garnish.
Mixing the Cocktail
Combine Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the Dharma gin, amaretto, créme de violette, rose wine, fresh lemon juice (from the half lemon), and Earl Grey syrup. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass. Carefully layer the ube puree on top for visual effect.
