Elevate your Espresso Martini with Tia Maria

With three weeks to go until International Coffee Day (1st October 2023), award-winning coffee liqueur Tia Maria offers its delicate blend of cane spirit, Jamaican coffee, vanilla and sugar for coffee lovers alike. One of the world’s most successful premium international liqueurs, Tia Maria continues to be the leading coffee liqueur in the UK, making it the perfect tipple.

As we approach the beginning of October, interest in espresso martini cocktails increases by over 25%* and Tia Maria is the perfect coffee liqueur to ease into autumn. When coupled with vodka and espresso, the sweet and fragrant notes of Tia Maria perfectly compliment an espresso martini with its masterful rich arabica taste.

A sweet liqueur with a strong coffee character, Tia Maria’s complex aromatic structure lends to a velvety sweet offering that is versatile enough to be sipped straight or mixed in a classic cocktail. Distinctive and full-bodied, its masterful rich taste is complemented by the fragrance released from its 100% arabica.

At first sip, its exclusive cold brew extraction provides a coffee aroma reminiscent of a morning brew. Hints of caramelised cane sugar and chocolate follow to sweeten the blend, finishing with notes of vanilla to soften. Richly roasted with hints of chocolate and pipe tobacco, Tia Maria’s full-bodied taste is defined by its complex aromatic structure, lasting on the palate with its hints of caramelised cane sugar

Tia Maria Coffee Liqueur (70cl)  is available to purchase from Waitrose for RRP £16
