Elegant and versatile, Tia Maria is a cocktail lover’s essential ingredient.
Made with Madagascar vanilla, Jamaican rum, and 100 per cent Arabica coffee, Tia Maria is a must in any drinks cabinet thanks to its classic roasted, full-bodied and rich taste.
An exclusive cold brew extraction process gives it that distinctive, intense coffee aroma, which is followed by notes of chocolate and pipe tobacco, caramelised cane sugar and vanilla.
Endlessly versatile, Tia Maria lends itself beautifully to a whole array of cocktails – including the signature Tia Espresso Martini, below. Give them a try for your next cocktail hour.
