Classic Kraken Mojito

This classic cocktail gets a delicious twist with Kraken Rum. For the perfect mojito, start by muddling fresh mint leaves and simple syrup in a shaker or glass. Then add Kraken Rum, lime juice, and plenty of ice. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds before straining it into your glass over more ice. Top off this refreshing beverage with some club soda and garnish with mint leaves.

For an extra special touch, try rimming the glass beforehand with sugar or salt mixed with zest from a lime wedge. Enjoy!

Kraken Margarita

Margaritas are always popular but when you use Kraken Rum instead of tequila they become extraordinary! You’ll need to get your hands on triple sec (or another orange liqueur) as well as freshly-squeezed lime juice to make this drink shine.

Start by adding all these ingredients plus ice into a shaker then shake until cold – about 20 seconds will do the trick. Strain it into your glasses that have been rimmed in salt and enjoy immediately while still icy cold!

Kraken Dark & Stormy

This smooth dark rum-based cocktail is one of our favorites here at The Cocktail Barista; made even tastier when using Kraken Rum! Start by pouring 2 ounces of dark rum over crushed ice in an old fashioned glass followed by 4oz ginger beer topped off with a squirt of fresh lemon or lime juice for added zing.

Garnish with either citrus fruit slice or herbs like thyme if desired – we love how easy it is to customize this drink however you want it! And don’t forget: the darker the rum used in this recipe, the better tasting results you’ll get each time..
