Kraken black spiced rum, 1l: Was £32.86, now £24.30, Amazon.co.uk
Imported from the Caribbean and blended with spices, Kraken’s much-loved rum has a jet black colouring and bold, rich and smooth texture – right now, you can save 30 per cent on the bottle. Named after the sea beast of myth and legend, the brand is inspired by the story that the largest-ever shipment of Caribbean black spiced rum was said to have been brought down by the fabled kraken.
Pour the rum over cubed ice and top with a fiery ginger beer and a squeeze of fresh lime for a punchy cocktail. Or, channel your inner mixologist and rustle up a “pornstar darktini” with Kranken’s rum, passion fruit liqueur, vanilla syrup and prosecco. The spirit also goes into a a black mojito with fresh mint, lime, soda water and sugar syrup, as well as a black espresso with sugar syrup and chilled espresso. In short, the concoctions are endless, and for £24.30, you can’t go wrong.
