Tia Maria is a liqueur made from Jamaican rum, Blue Mountain coffee and vanilla. It contains 20 percent alcohol and is the best-known coffee liqueur along with Kahlúa. In Jamaica, its production has a tradition dating back more than 300 years. The name Tia Maria, meaning “Aunt Mary,” was given to him in the 18th century. According to legend, a maid named Mary saved this recipe from being burned at the stake during a war in colonial times. Out of gratitude, the mistress named the recipe after the maid. This family recipe was rediscovered by a scientist and a connoisseur only in the 1940s and later put on the market. It is drunk neat, with milk or ice, and is also used as an ingredient in cocktails.
