This drink is so basic, but it’s so good. All you do is spike a cup of hot chocolate (as much or as little as you want) with Tia Maria. You’ll feel like a kid again, but there will be an adult secret indide: coffee liqueur! 7. Espresso Martini The most important point to note is that Kahlua stated that “we have now started a process to ensure this is no longer the case and hopefully in 6-12 months will be able to claim Vegan again.” We certainly hope so.

It doesn’t get easier than this. Fill a glass with ice, and then pour in Tia Maria. You’ll be surprised how smooth this goes down. The amount you should use will be up to you. 2. Tia Maria With Milk

These can be made ahead of time for up to 24 hours and kept in the fridge. You can also store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, but you'll need to thaw in the fridge overnight. In fact, my dad does this every year so he doesn't have to bother with the blender after we enjoy our Christmas meal. Storage Suggestions Tia Maria is no doubt a brand you will definitely have heard of before, it is globally renowned for its coffee liqueur, so it makes a lot of sense it’s the brand that has managed to incorporate the popular matcha flavour into a stable tea liqueur. The original recipe was lost for many years before being rediscovered in the 1940s by Dr Kenneth Leigh Evans This is a simple one: at the time of writing, none of the drinks Kahlua make are vegan friendly. This may change in the near future but as of November 2020 their core range uses non-vegan sugar. They have committed to changing this so hopefully we will have positive news in that regard sooner rather than later. Some of their other drinks, such as the ready to drink ones, contain milk or milk derivatives, so are also not suitable for vegans irrespective of the sugar used. Vegan White Russian

The extract of pure Bourbon vanilla is left to mature in a hydroalcoholic solution for at least three months to intensify its essence. Tia Maria, the world-famous coffee liqueur, today announces the launch of its first addition to its signature drinks portfolio – Tia Maria Matcha cream. The former, original recipe was significantly boozier with an alcohol content of 31.5%. The ingredients were also slightly different, as the liqueur was made from Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans and genuine bourbon vanilla. The taste of Tia Maria

Kahlua Is Not Vegan

We know our customers love the classic Tia Maria taste, so we wanted to bring them something truly unique while injecting new excitement into the brand. With the launch we want to continue to reach a younger consumer base and meet new taste preferences along the way with our new drink creations, and we’re looking forward to introducing the concept of a mindful Matcha ritual through Tia Maria. The iconic Brandy Alexander is said to have been named after Troy Alexander, a bartender at Rectors, a famous New York City restaurant. He is said to have created the drink in the early 20th century. Although the traditional recipe calls for the colorless Creme de Cacao, it is even better with the elegant kiss of Tia Maria. Ingredients This is perfect for people who regularly drink coffee with some kind of milk. Again, how much Tia Maria you pour in is according to your preference. 3. Tia Maria With Cola The ingredients are relatively simple and with just coffee, Jamaican rum, Madagascan vanilla and sugar, Tia Maria should hold no fears for those wanting a boozy coffee fix. Rum, like most spirits is vegan because it is distilled, so does not need to be fined like, for example, beer or Champagne.

Not strong enough: Add extra brandy (by the ounce) until it is as strong as you like it. You can also add a little extra Tia Maria, but it will make the drinks sweeter and doesn't have a strong alcohol taste like brandy does. Place all your liquid ingredients and the banana in a blender and top with a scoop full of ice cubes. Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into a hurricane glass and sprinkle with chocolate. Closing Thoughts Since Tia Maria is similar to Kahlúa coffee liqueur, it's an excellent replacement in mixed drink recipes.Vanilla and coffee are obviously just plants and nothing about the way they are processed holds any concerns for vegans. Sugar too is clearly plant-based and whilst we have explained that not all sugar is vegan, the cane sugar used to make Tia Maria is. We know this because the makers confirmed that “Tia Maria is 100% vegan”. We may not be PhD standard mathematicians but even we know that’s as vegan as you can get! Tia Maria Trivia This is almost as simple as the first recipe. The only variation is that you add milk, whatever amount to suit your personal taste, and stir. We feel a little more confident in our Kahlua facts, in as much as they might actually be facts. Whether they will impress anyone is another matter.
