- 1 lime about 2 tbsp of juice
Instructions
- Fill a highball or cocktail glass with ice cubes to chill. In a cocktail shaker, combine the Kraken Dark Rum and fresh lime juice. If you prefer a more intense lime flavor, you can adjust the amount of lime juice.
- Strain the mixture into your prepared glass filled with ice. Open the can of Barritt’s Sugar-Free Ginger Beer and pour it into the glass, filling it to your preference.

Notes
❖ Adjust Sweetness: If you like your Kraken Rum Drinks Recipe sweeter or less sweet, feel free to adjust the amount of simple syrup. Some people prefer a more tart cocktail, while others enjoy a sweeter profile.
❖ Quality Cola: The type of cola you use can really affect the flavor of the drink. I recommend using a high-quality, flavorful cola to complement the rich spices in Kraken Rum. The better the cola, the better your drink will taste.
❖ Bitters Optional: While the drink is delicious as is, a dash of Angostura bitters can elevate it further, adding a layer of aromatic complexity. If you’re feeling adventurous, give it a try!
❖ Double the Recipe: If you’re hosting a gathering, you can easily double or triple the recipe to make larger batches. Just make sure to use a bigger shaker or mix it in a pitcher.
