Tia Maria is a coffee liqueur hailing from Jamaica. It’s a strong drink that has a very sweet and unique flavor. 

What Is Kahlua?

What Is Kahlua

Kahlua is another famous coffee flavored liqueur that was created in Mexico by Jose Arroyo in the early 1930s.

This was originally served as a drink for special occasions, but now it can be found in many bars and restaurants all over the world.
