Releasing the Kraken is not as scary as it sounds. In fact, it’s downright delicious. Maggie, distributor by day, rum goddess by night, whipped up some of her Island Punch using (what else?), our Kraken Black Spice Caribbean Rum ($23). The strong spice of this rum balances all the fresh fruit flavors, and the addition of coconut rum brings you right to a tropical island. This is the ideal cocktail for your next pool party. Can we come?

• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 2 oz coconut rum
• 1/2 cup of Kraken Rum
• 1/4 oz of Grenadine, for added color and flavor
