It's one of Ireland's most popular cocktails and the secret to a great espresso martini lies in the ingredients.
Tia Maria was used in the very first espresso martini recipe over forty years ago and the cold brew coffee liqueur adds a depth of flavour that elevates the cocktail to something special. It's a go-to ingredient for bartenders everywhere and makes it easy to create a great espresso martini at home too.
Made with Madagascar vanilla, Jamaican rum, and 100 per cent Arabica coffee, Tia Maria has a classic roasted, full-bodied and rich taste. An exclusive cold brew extraction process gives it its distinctive intense coffee aroma, which is followed by notes of chocolate and pipe tobacco, caramelised cane sugar and vanilla.
