As International Sales Director, Holger Hugelsberger knows it’s always important to understand the different needs of various consumers.
“A real benefit for us is that everyone in the world understands and loves chocolate and all we do is make fantastic chocolate liqueurs,” he says.
As the occasion calling for pumpkin everything is upon us, we ask Holger to tell us more about Mozart Pumpkin Spice Liqueur and what types of cocktails made with this exciting spirit we should be sipping this season.
Tell us about Mozart Pumpkin Spice Liqueur.
The unexpected spicy taste and well-balanced symphony of milk chocolate, caramel, natural pumpkin juice, cinnamon, clove, a hint of vanilla and even chili for its spicy aftertaste. It is an explosion of aromas on your palate.
What should bartenders know about mixing with Mozart Pumpkin Spice?
Like all other Mozart flavors only natural ingredients are employed for Mozart Pumpkin Spice. The carefully selected spices make this flavor interesting to use in everything from a Bloody Mary cocktail to a Pumpkintini. By adding vodka, it makes an easy Pumpkintini, which is very popular during Halloween. Pumpkin Spice also works great with spirits like tequila or rum. My personal favorite is tequila! As it is based on cream/milk only, be careful when mixing with fresh juices due to their acidity.
How is this flavor received here in the states? How about internationally?
In the States it’s our Top Seller for the Pumpkin Season. We mainly sell it to bars and liquor stores. Also, in the UK where Halloween has a long(er) tradition Pumpkin Spice is very popular. In other markets which do not celebrate Halloween so much we even sell it all year round! But in this case without a Jack O’ lantern face.
What else is coming up next for Mozart that you can share?
We currently working on a new flavor. At this stage I can only say that it’ll be a tropical flavor covering the biggest international food trends. When developing a new flavor, we not only screen the spirits business but we’re also keen on evaluating what’s going on outside our core business. Very important for us of course is always what’s going on in the world of chocolate.
