Lord And Lady
Ingrédients
Instructions
Pour the rum and Tia Maria into an old-fashioned glass almost filled with ice cubes. Stir well.
Lord and Lady is a two-ingredient stirred cocktail combining dark rum and Tia Maria coffee liqueur over ice in an old-fashioned glass. The pairing creates a rich, coffee-laced rum drink with deep sweetness and warming alcoholic strength. Simple yet indulgent, it is a dessert-style short drink that highlights the complementary flavors of aged rum and coffee.
History & Origins
Lord and Lady is a modern informal cocktail, origin disputed, that takes advantage of the natural affinity between dark rum and coffee liqueur — a pairing long exploited in Caribbean and British drinking culture. Tia Maria, the Jamaican coffee liqueur, has been produced since the 1940s, and its combination with dark rum reflects the Caribbean origins of both products. The name evokes a certain British elegance applied to rum-based drinking.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Rich coffee and dark molasses with warm rum notes and a faint vanilla sweetness. Palate: Full-bodied and sweet with intense coffee, molasses, and dark rum character, balanced by a subtle bitter cocoa note from the Tia Maria. Finish: Long, warming, and bittersweet with lingering coffee and rum.
Pro Tip
Pour the rum first over fresh ice before adding the Tia Maria, allowing the ice to temper the rum heat before the liqueur arrives.
