Golden Emperor

Kraken black spiced rum, fresh ginger juice, pineapple, and lemon. Warm, spiced, slightly tropical. The kind of thing you make on a Friday night and immediately wish you had a tiki mug for.

Golden Emperor cocktail, warm golden-amber in a rocks glass over ice with a cinnamon stick, against the dark mask-lined Forbidden Altar bar

The History

A modern home bar original drawing on the dark-and-stormy tradition, then pushed tropical with pineapple and brightened with lemon. The cinnamon stick garnish is both functional and theatrical.
