Product Information

However, this story is most likely only part of a marketing campaign and not the true story of the beginning of the coffee liqueur. The Morris Cargill Version Made with similar ingredients, both may seem the same, though each gives off different levels of bitterness and sweetness. Tia Maria is made with Jamaican rum and coffee beans, while Kahlua features 100% Arabica beans. Today, Kahlua is a well-known and well-established coffee liqueur that has won several awards and is prized for its versatility and sweet, coffee-like flavor.

Here are seven of the most popular Tia Maria drinks, requiring you to use just a few ingredients. This means you’ll spend less time shopping for the right things and mixing them, and you’ll spend more time celebrating with a drink. You’re at the right place if you’ve been wanting to know what drinks you can make with Tia Maria or how to drink Tia Maria: Panela is a type of unrefined whole cane sugar that is brown in color. It may have a different flavor than what is normally sold as “brown sugar”, though, because brown sugar usually has molasses added to it. Panela doesn’t. I’d probably look for an unrefined organic demerara sugar or something like that. (I say organic because unrefined brown sugars are generally easier to find in health foods type stores.) So, Kahlúa tops the sugary charts with 39.3g of sugar per 100ml, and the lowest is Derw with 8.4g per 100ml. Derw has 75-80% less sugar than the other three liqueurs, and much less sugar than most liqueurs in general.We all know that liqueurs by definition include sugar, and coffee liqueurs are no different. Sugar isn't just for sweetness; it also affects texture, mouthfeel and the liqueur's interactions with other ingredients like ice or spirits. In a pot, add the sugar and 1 ½ a cup of room temperature water. Bring the water to a boil and stir until all of the sugar has dissolved. Don’t over-boil the water! The idea here is to just warm the water enough to dissolve the sugar. Once that’s done, set the mixture aside.

To honor her name and to thank her for saving the recipe, the Spanish lady named the liqueur Tia Maria(Tia is the Spanish term for aunt or auntie). White Russian: Combine Kahlua, vodka, and cream in a glass filled with ice. Stir well and garnish with a cherry. For example, when used in cakes or, our favorite, cheesecake, the Kahlua will provide a unique after-taste that will immediately be apparent from the first bite! Unable to get a hand on the original recipe, he connected with Dr. Ken Evans to develop a recipe coming as close to Cargill's memories as possible. Since it is infused with coffee, Kahlua has a dark coffee-like color that is made ever so slightly lighter because of the rum and sugar.But apart from its looks, it has nothing in common with the iconic beer from Dublin. Instead, the shooter includes coffee liqueur and a float of Irish Cream liqueur.

Kahlua features a coffee taste too, though it has a syrupier texture. Along with the bitterness of coffee, Kahlua gives off notes of caramel and is quite a bit sweeter than Tia Maria. What Are They Typically Used For? To say it upfront, the history of how the liqueur came to life is not entirely clear. There are many versions, legends, and tales of how the recipe came to life and when the story of Tia Maria began. ILLVA Saronno say "the structural cornerstone of Tia Maria is the white overproof Jamaican rum. The rum is distilled from sugarcane molasses that have been cultivated on plantations near the seaside. The fresh, salt-imbued air coming off the warm Caribbean Sea makes for a very special crop, as does the more fertile sea-washed terrain."single measure of spirits (e.g. whisky, gin, vodka, rum, brandy, tequila, Pernod, Cognac, Drambuie, Grand Marnier) On its own, Tia Maria is known to be slightly better than Kahlua, especially for people who do not prefer a sweeter liqueur. Tioa Maria makes great additions to desserts as well! Swirl some into your brownie batter before baking for a delicious after-dinner treat that everyone will love. Drizzle it on your favorite vanilla ice cream or yogurt – it’s so good that you won’t want to share! Or if you’re looking for something truly special – make indulgent truffles by combining melted dark chocolate with warmed heavy cream then adding two tablespoons of liqueur; chill them in the fridge until they set then dip them in cocoa powder or chopped nuts – voila! This beverage is noticeably thinner in consistency than Kahlua which makes it the beverage of choice for several other coffee-based beverages.
