Myth & Magic
The Kraken is a creature of nautical nightmares — a sea monster of immense size, known to crush ships and stir whirlpools with a flick of its tentacle. In Norse and Scandinavian folklore, it was both feared and revered.
Just like its legend, this cocktail carries a dark, spicy punch — bold and unforgettable.
