Entrepreneur and certified chocolate-maker Lars Söderström started to experiment in his kitchen in Arnos Vale, Tobago to create a liqueur fully inspired by cocoa tea with the special addition of rum. Söderström, who calls Tobago home, ended up creating a new chocolate rum cream liqueur which he’s named ‘Tobago Gold’.
Tobago Gold has an intense dark chocolate taste with clear rum notes and an exotic spice finish, smoothed out by a lush creamy texture. It’s not an overly sweet drink as the sugar content has been dialled down. Along with its high percentage of cocoa, the spices provide a refreshing finish. It is a cream liqueur to be enjoyed neat, best as tasty chocolate shots, and it’s also a great ingredient in a number of cocktails.
After the successful launch in Trinidad & Tobago in 2021, Söderström said: “I want to bring a Caribbean flavour, with a Carnival spirit to the world – creativity, happiness, inclusiveness and above all having fun together.”
Soca artiste Jadel, who is an ambassador for Tobago Gold, said: “It feels great to be working with Tobago Gold. Fans can expect some really creative content from me as I love trying new things including my own mixology with chocolate rum cream liqueur,” she continued. “I am so excited that Tobago Gold is on this journey with me, beyond the shores of Trinidad and Tobago, to Notting Hill Carnival and the many carnivals around the world. It will be going everywhere with me.”
Tobago Gold is available in the UK, and consumers can find it on Amazon, Master of Malt, Distillers Direct and Drinks Supermarket online stores.
