Hi David, I shall give the Kramble a try! I have Kraken, home made Creme de Cassis and blackberries in my garden. My favourite Kraken drink is a Right Had Twist; 40ml Kraken Rum, 25ml Campari, 25ml Sweet Vermouth, 5ml PX Sherry. Stirred with ice, strained over a rock of ice, orange peel zest over the top and put in glass as garnish. Beautiful richness of flavour! Nick from York
Hi again David, just enjoying a Kramble to your spec, my second cocktail of the afternoon. It is delicious! Dick Bradsell was a master of fresh fruit inclusions and your adaptation to the Kraken rum makes the drink really special. My 2020 vintage home made Creme de Cassis is now superb in its flavour, but the cocktails in which it is included are scarce. Nick from York
Just tried your Kramble recipe. Not a bad drink at all. Had to substitute Chambord for the Creme of Cassis per your recommendations. I could get used to this drink. Other than dripping blackberry juice on my brand new white shirt I thought it went very well. See, you’re not the only one that struggles sometimes! Thanks for sharing your expertise!
David, what a great new idea with Viewer's Choice!! I can't wait to give the Kraken a try!! I am pulled right in with the Kraken Bramble!! Wow, it looks both delicious and beautiful! I am off to find some Kraken. It sure seems popular! Terrific video!! Cheers!! 😃
Hey David, I enjoyed your twists of the drinks. Will certainly try them. Have you done anything with Guyanese El Dorado Rum? 15 years or more. My all time favourite rum - El Dorado 15 yrs
Tried this with captain Morgan spiced orange crush soda6 parts two parts Morgan the flavor taste like a Creamsicle haven't tried it with kraken but I'm sure the same
Glad you got to try Kraken rum. It’s one of my all time favorites. Usually sip it straight up on the rocks. It’s very good with ginger ale in place of cola also. I’ll definitely try your kramble! I don’t have cassis at the moment. Is there a suitable substitute? Thanks for the great videos
To substitue for Creme de Cassis you could use, black current syrup, Kir, Chambord, or Kirsh. The flavors will be a little different but they will all work really well together.
Please release the Kraken. I haven't heard of Kraken rum before. I may have to check the liquor store for it, you know how much I like rum. Cheers Dave
This is another great one we will make this week. My wife was never a RUM drinker until she tried spiced rum for the first time recently (as we got into making cocktails) so now we are definitely looking for Rum based cocktails where we can use spiced rum. Captain Morgan's is probably my favorite but we actually bought some dark rum and are trying our own spice blend so the Kramble looks like a fantastic choice to test drive. Although our home spiced rum is not as dark as Kraken, it's a heavy spice level so I think its going to work. I was just out yesterday getting some Hpnotiq for another video you did now I need to go back to the store for some Creme de Cassis. I'll manage some how ;-)
A short haiku from the Kraken Rum: The Beast lurks below. The unknown is calling you. Darkness is coming. Now let's have a drink with a whole "lotta" rum...lol
David that Kraken Kramble looks SO GOOD! Have only tasted the Kraken once when I visited UK (it's not available in the country I live in.. as usual 😂) and it was delicious. I love the Gin bramble, and this looks like a fantastic alternative for rum lovers. P.S. - the shake-scene camera gets better and better!
Thank you very much. Yes you could go for a straight gin bramble or could use another Spiced rum. it does not have to as dark and the different spices could give you all sorts of nifty variations.
Hello! First time seeing your channel and enjoyed it. I admit I personally like Kraken in a Dark n' Stormy better than Gosling's rum. Thank you and have a great day from a new subscriber! 😀
I must admit kraken is such a nice flavour neat I never have it with mixers anymore especially coke I feel it just gets rid of the flavour and it’s like having Vanilla Coke as opposed to rum. But that’s just my opinion on it 🤷♂️

Nick, That sounds really good. I will definitely have to try it.
I don't even like spiced rum, but this sounds great.
Just got a bottle of Kraken black spiced rum. Will give this a try tonight…. Thanks!
I hope yo ulike it.
Kraken and Coke works for me of the two drinks. Thanks for sharing. Cheers my friend!
Your welcome PJ, the Kraken and Coke is excellent.
We picked up our first bottle of Kraken this summer and loved it! Will totally be checking these out.
Go for it. I think you will really like them :)
TGIF Cocktail!! I've been waiting. I'm going to give a try with Captain Morgan Rum as Kraken rum is not sold here. Cheers!!
Let me know how it turns out for you.
Epic intro! 👍Just on my 6th kraken shot...it´s an excellent stuff 🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it.

I agree with you Jeremy. It works really well.

I'm glad you liked it. I'm sorry for your shirt. I have done that a few times.

Thank you very much. Let me know what you think.
@@boozeontherocks I will David!!
I haven't had kraken in quite some time but I have sweet kraken octopus arm hanging in my bar
It is a great rum and with your Kraken arm that would be awesome.
That is a good looking drink. Have a great weekend.
Thank you. Have a great weekend.
Hey David, I enjoyed your twists of the drinks. Will certainly try them.
Have you done anything with Guyanese El Dorado Rum? 15 years or more. My all time favourite rum - El Dorado 15 yrs
Hi Jerry, thank you very much. I have not done anything with Eldorado Rum yet. Lets see what I can do soon.
@@boozeontherocks Super! In all fairness the 12yr is quite good but I do tend to lean towards the 15 yrs + Special Reserves.
Tried this with captain Morgan spiced orange crush soda6 parts two parts Morgan the flavor taste like a Creamsicle haven't tried it with kraken but I'm sure the same

Tony, This rum is right up your ally, trust me. Cheeers.
I have a brand new bottle Kraken I’ve yet to “krak” open. See what I did there?
I think you should get Kraken then!!

Awesome!!!
I'm a big fan of Kraken, not overbearing with vanilla like a lot of spiced rums with a deep enough flavour to not become sickly.
It is a good rum. I like that one a lot.

No worries, I understand. It is really good on its own as well.
What days do your pools go up so I can vote for more rum stuff?
Generally polls will go up the following Saturday, however If I am on the ball I might get them up late Friday night.
Happy Thanksgiving Dave, make it a double today
Thank you very much. you too.
Can't wait to try the Kramble :)
Go for it. It is really good. :)
Hello, I like your bright side. Cheers to me~ like 👍👍
Thank you very much. :)
Unfortunately, we only get the "boring" 40% ABV version here in Europe.
I know that feeling.
did I just watch a video that taught me how to "make" a rum and coke hahahah
It does happen :)
Can you drink that straight?
You can, Its quite good.
i think you forget the ice
Blink, I see what you mean . lol..
Video is so quiet
Thank you for the feedback.
