The Terrifying Kraken Hunter Shot

Alcohol: Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of Kraken Black Spiced Caribbean Rum, 94 Proof

Ahoy, Scallywags and Scurvy Dogs. With Halloween just over the horizon, it be time for a spooky drink, and nothing be more terrifying to someone in a pirate costume than the mighty Kraken. Luckily for us, we don’t have to sail the seven seas to conquer the mighty beast. Take a seat, Captain Ahab. We’re hunting a real sea monster.

Add some sand (brown sugar) to the bottom of a shot glass and then fill it up with the ferocious liquor. Shoot the black spot into your boiler, and chase by chomping on a miniature gummy sour kraken you looted while trick-or-treating or bought like a boring adult.

Careful, Landlubber. A few sips of this warm, spicy grog will have you losing your land legs and struggling to walk the plank, should you need to prove your sobriety.
