About this Event
Kraken Rum Terrarium Masterclass | Immersive Botanical Cocktail Experience
Step into a world of myth, mixology, and living art with our Kraken Rum Terrarium Masterclass at Rhum Tavern. In collaboration with Kraken Black Spiced Rum, this immersive workshop blends storytelling, cocktail culture, and hands-on creativity.
Legend tells of a merchant ship carrying Caribbean spiced rum and exotic spices, lost at sea after a fierce encounter with the monstrous Kraken. From the wreckage, ink-stained barrels drifted ashore—one of which revealed something extraordinary: life thriving within the darkness. Encrusted with deep-sea moss and strange flora, it became a symbol of nature’s resilience.
Inspired by this legend, we invite you to create your own living ecosystem inside an authentic Kraken Rum bottle.
