Tropical Gold- The Crown Jewel of the Aphro Collection

Every cocktail collection has a showstopper. For the Moe’s Tavern x Aphro collaboration, that’s the Tropical Gold; a drink that embodies elegance, flavour, and culture in one glass. It’s the premium face of the Aphro collection.

From its vibrant presentation to the layered tropical flavours, Tropical Gold is designed to impress both in taste and in style, making it the perfect ambassador for African spirits in global markets.

Aphro Nubi — Flavour at the Core

At the heart of Tropical Gold is Aphro Nubi, whose passionfruit, pineapple, and honey notes provide a tropical foundation for this elevated serve. Combined with fresh lime, passionfruit syrup, pineapple juice, and spiced honey syrup, the result is a cocktail that’s bright, aromatic, and balanced, with a premium mouthfeel that reflects the quality of the spirit.

This is where mixology meets storytelling where every sip communicates Africa’s richness, heritage, and craft.

Tropical Gold — premium, tropical, and unapologetically African.

Culture in a Glass

The history of Aphro is deeply woven into each cocktail. Born from the traditional West African akpeteshie, refined through triple distillation, and inspired by centuries of palm wine craft, Aphro Nubi brings culture directly into the glass.

Tropical Gold doesn’t just taste premium, it looks premium. From presentation to garnish, it’s a cocktail designed to stand out on any backbar, signaling quality, creativity, and authenticity.
