Tia Maria is a coffee liqueur that’s smoother and more refined than Kahlua! Here are the top Tia Maria drinks to try: the Revolver, White Russian, and Espresso Martini.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Revolver

  • 2 ounces* bourbon whiskey
  • 1 ounce Tia Maria
  • 2 dashes orange bitters

For the White Russian

  • 2 ounces vodka
  • 1 ounce Tia Maria
  • 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) heavy cream

For the Espresso Martini

  • 2 ounces vodka
  • ¾ ounce Tia Maria
  • 1 ounce warm espresso or strong coffee

Instructions

  1. For the Revolver: Combine the bourbon, Tia Maria, and orange bitters in a mixing glass (or cocktail shaker) with a handful of ice. Stir until cold, then strain into a cocktail glass. Express the orange peel onto the glass by squeezing it to release the oils. Or if desired, flame the orange peel, taking fire precautions as necessary! Cut a piece of orange peel in a 2-inch circle. Hold the peel about 2 inches from the cocktail glass and warm it with a lit match. Then, quickly squeeze the peel to express the oils, causing it to flame briefly as the oil hits the glass.
  2. For the White Russian: Add the vodka and Kahlua to a lowball glass. Fill it with ice.
    Top with the cream. Stir until cold, or stir just a bit to get the swirl effect.
  3. For the Espresso Martini: Make the espresso or make very strong coffee. Add the vodka, Kahula, and espresso to a cocktail shaker and fill it with ice. Shake vigorously until cold. Strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with coffee beans if desired.
