Shake Up The Taste: Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Tia Maria are back for a festive season full of flavour

October 15, 2026

Some partnerships are simply too good for one round. 
For the second year running, Tia Maria and Sophie Ellis-Bextor are back together to continue Shaking Up The Taste. Bringing together Sophie’s signature charm and Tia Maria’s bold coffee flavour, this festive season is all about celebrating creativity, self-expression, and of course, the Espresso Martini we all love. 

Surrounded by friends, great energy and the iconic taste of Tia Maria, Sophie knows exactly what comes when it’s time to order. And after two years together, it’s fair to say we know exactly how she likes her Espresso Martini. 😉

 

“For me, the festive season is all about getting everyone together, putting the music on and turning any evening into a proper occasion. A Tia Maria Espresso Martini is always my go-to, so here’s to raising a glass and dancing our way into the new year!”

 

And if you’d like to recreate her favourite festive cocktail, here’s how to mix the classic Tia Maria Espresso Martini:

Ingredients:

  • Tia Maria 25ml
  • Vodka 25ml
  • Espresso Coffee 25ml

Method: Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker over lots of ice. Shake well and strain into a chilled glass. Garnish with three coffee beans.
