Spooky Kraken Black Spiced Rum and Ginger Beer Cocktail

Ready for another spooky sip to add to your Halloween party lineup? Let me introduce you to this Halloween rum cocktail with Ginger Beer that’s as hauntingly beautiful as it is tasty.

Think of it as a twist on the classic Goslings' Dark and Stormy—just without the lime. This cocktail is all about that bold Kraken Black Spiced Rum and refreshing ginger beer combo, with those irresistible notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and clove.

Finish it off by pouring in the rum last for that spooky, layered effect—it’s bound to get some pulses racing... if those ghouls and goblins even have pulses!  It’s a built cocktail, just like your go-to Kraken Cola or Moscow Mule, so no need for a shaker. Just grab your glass and get ready for a chillingly good time.

Cheers to a wicked Halloween! 👻
