I just tried Tia Maria for the first time and love it, it has a way of warming and you feel like you are being very indulgent when drinking it.
I was sent a bottle to review and also Tia Maria are showcasing some of the different occasions when you might drink it.
But first mine.
At home
Feet up, with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and milk, its luscious!!
Tia Maria is the perfect drink for any cocktail occasion, whether heading off for an afternoon in the pub, eating at the finest restaurant or hitting a nightclub. Made to the original Caribbean recipe, this rich dark liqueur can be mixed with a whole host of flavours from ginger beer right through to chilli and even sambuca.
Tia Maria’s distinctive aroma of freshly grounded coffee with delicate hints of chocolate and exotic vanilla mean it’s the perfect ingredient to pack cocktails full of flavour.
