Advantages: Exotic, a great mixer

Disadvantages: very strong, an acquired taste

I'm not a coffee drinker and so Tia Maria has never been on my favourite drinks list. On its own I've found it a bit too potent and sharp tasting for my liking, although it improves each time I try it.

However once somebody suggested mixing it with coke - it's a whole new ball game! It produces an exotic taste that is easy to knock back in multiple quantities.

A more recent (and so far less well known) discovery is Tia Maria with orange juice. I warn you - it looks like puke in a glass, but tastes divine. Almost like an alcoholic chocolate orange - but more complicated. Best to have had a few other drinks first to summon up the courage to taste it first though as it really does look disgusting and you'll get a few funny looks from those propping up the bar.

It is definitely an acquired taste but one that makes a nice alternative to most of the other sugar sweet spirits available. Definitely worth a purchase!
