What is Tia Maria? House of Spirits: TIA MARIA, a closer look into this wonderful coffee liqueur.</h2>

<br />
<h3>
<b>What is Tia Maria?</b></h3>
Tia Maria is a wonderful coffee liqueur that was first made in Jamaica from fine Jamaican coffee beans. Tia Maria has a alcohol content of 31%, some exports are 20%. The flavor, as you would expect is of dark coffee similar to Kahlua, but a bit darker. The main flavor of coffee is complemented by cane spirit or rum, vanilla and sugar.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>History of Tia Maria?</b></h3>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Tia Maria was created by Dr. Evans shortly after WWII in Jamaica. Dr. Evans went threw a rigorous testing, using friends and members of the Kingston Country Club until he came up with the perfect formula.<br />
<br />
Tia Maria became under new ownership when it was bought by the famous brand of Pernod Ricard back in 2005 to be swold in France. Which makes it under the same ownership there as Malibu and Kahlua. In 2009 Illva Saronno bought the brand.<br />

Sometimes called "Egg Cognac" Advocaat is a rich, sweet and creamy spirit. It is very popular in Europe, widely consumed by the Dutch, who kept the recipe a secret for many years. There are a lot of manufactors making there own style of Advocaat. Advocaat is made mainly with sugar, fresh egg yolks, aromatic spirits, vanilla, honey, cream and brandy. The flavor can be described as similar to custard. The closest thing here in the states would be something akin to eggnog.<br />
<br />
There is a thick advocaat that is sold in parts of Europe that is eaten with a small spoon. In the west, import the thinner version. The thick version of Advocaat, is used atop waffles, ice cream and other deserts. It is also commonly served as a Aperitif. A popular way to serve advocaat is in a glass with cocoa powder and whipped cream. Because it contained pure egg yokes, it become great to use for many cocktails.<br />

Sloe gin is made mainly from sloe berries or more commonly called blackthorn berries, that grow on the thorny blackthorn bush. They are a close relative to the common plum. They are usually picked late in the season at the ripest point in there growth cycle. Usually after the first frost. There are stories that the berries are pricked with the blackthorn thorns from the bush they grow on.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 19px; font-weight: bold;"><b>HISTORY of SLOE GIN</b></span><br />
The first account of sloe gin come from a poem from the British islands in 1717 which refers to drinks "... made at Home ... of Sugar, Sloes, and Grocer's Trash". In 1838 it was described as a beverage "which the inhabitants of London swallow for port." Today slow gin is used in a wide variety of classic and modern cocktail drinks.<br />
<br />
In pop culture history, the rock band Kiss, has a track called Sloe Gin, where Ace Frehley sings, "it's slow gin time again, you know it will always win."<br />

<h3>
<b>MAKING SLOE GIN</b></h3>
Recipe and Instructions to brew your own batch of sloe gin at home. There are variations like sloe cider and sloe whiskey and even tales of infusing beer with the sloes. This recipe given here is for the classic sloe gin, which is very easy to make at home.<br />
<br />
<b>Sloe Gin Recipe:</b><br />
<b>Ingredients</b><br />
• 500 grams ripe sloes (sloe fruit)<br />
• 250 grams of sugar (more sugar for sweetness)<br />
• 1 litre of Gin (any type of gin is fine)</div>
<div>
<b>Procedure:</b>Many suggest freezing the sloes to improve flavor.</div>
<div>
Start by pricking the sloes with a fork or other object.</div>
<div>
Put them in a large sized canning type jar, </div>
<div>
Pour in the sugar.</div>
<div>
Pour in the liter of gin and close the lid tight.</div>
<div>
Shake the mix for about 3 minutes.</div>
<div>
Shake every day making sure that all the sugar has dissolved.</div>
<div>
Place in a dark spot like a cupboard.</div>
<div>
After a few months, usually three months you will strain out the sloes by using muslin or cheesecloth. </div>
<div>
At this time the infused gin will take on the characteristic red color of sloe gin.</div>
<div>
You can use the leftover sloes to make jam or even infuse wine.</div>
<div>
You can decant the sloe gin to remove any sediment and clear the spirit.</div>
<div>
Bottle and store in a cool dark place. </div>
<div>
Sloe gin gets better with age.<br />
<br />
<b>Options and Variations:</b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">When made slow enough the sloe gin takes on an almond-like flavor from the sloes stones. </span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">Modern recipes use a short steeping time but also include a small bit of almond extract. </span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">Another variation is to add some spices like a few cloves and cinnamon.</span></b><br />

<b>Chambord Origins</b><br />
Chambord was influenced by a raspberry liqueur made in the Loire Valley France, in the 17th century. Chambord is still produced there today. The story of Chambords royal origins is as follows. A Chambord style liqueur was said to have been presented to King Louis XIV of France on one of his travels to the Château de Chambord.<br />
<br />
<b>How Chambord Made</b><br />
Chambord uses all natural ingredients. The main ingredients are of course red and black raspberries, vanilla, citrus peel, honey and cognac. The cognac used, has been aged for 4 years or more. The process first starts out by steeping the raspberries in French spirits for a few weeks to properly infuse the flavors. Next another batch of spirits is added to the fruit infusion and set to rest for a few more weeks. Then the 2nd infusion is drawn off. The fruit that remains is then pressed to get the sugars and juice and then combined. After the infussion process, the chambord is mixed with cognac, vinilla, citrus peel, honey and other herbs and spices to create Chambords unique flavor.<br />

One of the most memoriable aspects to Chambord, is the iconic spherical shaped bottle. The bottle was redesigned in 2010 to appeal to a new generation of customers. The bottle redesign was needed, but many still miss the classic royal look of the old bottle. The new bottle I must say, still looks very regal all the same.<br />
<br />
Up through 2010, Chambords bottle had a distinctive crown on the lid. It also had a gold belt with the word Chambard in 3d lettering. Both of these reflects Chambords royal origins. The bottles design is based on the the Globus Cruciger, (shown below) which is a classic Christian symbol of the orb and the cross, which implies the marraige of heaven and earth.<br />
