Calypso has always been about more than just fashion, it’s about embracing life with open arms, cherishing every moment, and living fully in the present. Tonight, we’ve not only relaunched a brand, but we’ve also rekindled the spirit of beachside excitement and are helping Nigerian fun-seekers switch up the fun”.

Modupe Aremo, Brand Business Manager, Calypso, and Apperito, noted that Calypso Coconut Liqueur is well on its way to being the most enjoyed liqueur with dual-purpose consumption. “Calypso Coconut Liqueur is more than just a drink; it’s a versatile companion to our beachside moments.
