It’s called Kraken Ship Wrecked and this limited-edition ice cream collaboration is available now from Goldbelly. There’s nothing frightening about this collaboration. The ice cream itself is a blend of Kraken Black Spiced Rum with cherries and chocolate. The result is a boozy, sweet, chocolatey, spiced ice cream for the cold autumn days ahead.

Make the dark time merry with these tasty winter vodka cocktails
Who says vodka is just a summer spirit?
winter vodka cocktails ryk xxxx23 thanksgivingbatchcocktail web 1

Vodka is an easy spirit to mix cocktails with, thanks to its largely neutral flavor, which can match well with just about any other alcohol, juice, or fresh ingredient that you might want to put with it. There are plenty of classic vodka cocktails that are universally popular, from the Moscow Mule to the Bloody Mary, and drinks like the Vodka Martini and the Vodka Gimlet have their own passionate fans.

But for many people, vodka remains something that's mostly drunk during the warmer seasons. With its light flavors and clear appearance, it doesn't necessarily scream winter in the way that whiskey or bourbon does. However, if you're a vodka fan then there's no reason you shouldn't enjoy vodka cocktails all year round, and take advantage of vodka's neutral qualities to mix it into tasty and festive drinks for the holiday season.

Turns out, many of the best rums come from Haiti, where the production levels are unlike anything else in the Caribbean.

Meet clairin, the rum-esque of Haiti. In the Caribbean, it's a big deal. While an estimated 50 or so rum producers exist elsewhere in the tropical region, Haiti is home to something to the tune of 600. These small clairin makers focus on small-batch rum, made in the traditional Haitian way.
