Product Information

It's pretty hard to make a mistake in these drinks, but here a few possible scenarios that you'd need to change when preparing/serving.

Our latest innovation is testament to the essence of the brand and we can’t wait for our customers to raise a glass of our new Tia Maria Matcha with us.” Tia Maria is relatively light in alcohol (20% ABV), pairs beautifully with anything creamy, and makes a fabulous dessert substitute or after-dinner drink. It also pairs beautifully with vodka, increasing potency without detracting from its sweet roasted coffee bean flavor.As a grainy powder with lots of flavour, matcha usually works best in drinks with texture, like sours made with egg white or aquafaba, or in creamy drinks that use a whole egg like flips or cream like an Alexander. For the label design, Cargill hired a London agency led by Joseph MacNulty. After hearing the story of Cargill chasing the old recipe, he came up with the idea of naming the liqueur after Cargill's aunt. -And aunt marybecame Tia Maria. Today's marketing version

Tia Maria: The coffee liqueur used for this drink is Tia Maria (obviously haha), hence the name. You could use another coffee liqueur if that is what you have on hand though. One of the legends is about a young Spanish girl that had to flee Jamaica because of the colonial war. She was accompanied by her female servant Maria, who not only managed to bring some jewelry with them but also saved the family recipe for coffee liqueur.The original version of Tia Maria has established itself as a premium liqueur at 31.5% ABV. In the 1980s, the formula of the liqueur changed, and since then, the resulting product only contains 20% ABV.

Ice Cream: Honestly, any ice cream you like will be good. We prefer coffee ice cream because it goes well with the coffee liquor, but you could also use chocolate ice cream. Because you are drinking this, I don't recommend using very rich ice cream. Otherwise, your drink might be too rich, as it's already a very rich drink. Cost Place all your liquid ingredients and the banana in a blender and top with a scoop full of ice cubes. Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into a hurricane glass and sprinkle with chocolate. Closing Thoughts To make the rim, mix two teaspoons of sugar and one teaspoon of matcha powder in a dish. Chill your glass for 10 minutes in the freezer, or until you have moisture on the glass. Dip the glass rim into the mix of matcha powder and sugar. The bottle is white with the distinctive Tia Maria logo in the usual font however the colours of the label are much more natural, in muted greys and greens. The glass bottle has a tapered design and screw lid, so nice to hold and pour. We drank the match Tia Maria neat but it would probably be even tastier over ice. I’ve also seen that you can mix it with vodka, to take it up a level. However, the recipe changed over time, as did the alcohol content. The original version contained 31.5% of alcohol, whereas t oday's version only contains 20%. Even the place of production changed. These days, the Jamaican coffee liqueur is produced in Italy and no longer in Jamaica. What's in Tia Maria?

Tia Maria's recipe is a closely guarded secret but, in their words, "So this is what I can tell you: It takes as long as seven years to make (with all that time you’d think they could make it vegan!); Admittedly though, six years is to grow the coffee Too sweet: If you find these too sweet, add extra brandy (by the ounce). Or you can add milk or cold, unsweetened coffee in ½ cup increments.
