Tia Maria is a dark liqueur made originally in Jamaica using Jamaican coffee beans. The main flavor ingredients are coffee beans, Jamaican rum, vanilla, and sugar, blended to an alcoholic content of 20%.
History[edit | edit source]
The historical fable of its origins dates it to the 17th century. A young Spanish girl was forced to flee Jamaica, and the family plantation during a conflict. She was accompanied by a sole servant who carried a bit of jewelry and the recipe for the family liqueur. In honor of the woman's help, the girl named the liqueur "Tia Maria" (Aunt Maria), her name.
Production[edit | edit source]
Tia Maria is made using a blend of 100% Arabica coffee, providing the distinctive roasted, full-bodied rich taste. The coffee is then mixed with a sugarcane spirit and vanilla from Madagascar, along with sugar. The drink is smooth, fragrant, and full-bodied while the usual serving suggestion is over ice.
Cocktails[edit | edit source]
Tia Maria is used in several cocktails such as the White Russian, Espresso Martini, and the Baby Guinness.
