Cocktails with Tia Maria and vodka
Cocktail Colin says:
Cocktails with Tia Maria and vodka are easiest to find in the classic coffee liqueur family, where Tia Maria stands in naturally for coffee liqueur.
For a simple, spirit forward option, the Black Russian is the go to: just vodka plus coffee liqueur, built over ice, with a rich roasted sweetness.
If you want something softer and more after dinner, the White Russian adds cream for a smooth, dessert like sip. It is also our top rated pick in this set, which makes it a reliable starting point if you are not sure what style you prefer.
For a bar style serve with proper coffee character, the Espresso Martini is the best choice. It keeps the vodka backbone but brings in a shot of coffee and a little sugar or syrup for balance.
A few other good directions from our list:
- Chocolate Martini for a more aromatic, stirred, martini style drink with vodka and coffee liqueur
- Chocolate Lime Martini if you like your coffee notes sharpened with citrus
If you are not set on vodka, Dark Maria gives you the popular Tia Maria and cola idea with dark rum.
