My next door neighbor has invited us to view the eclipse with her family in her driveway. It’ll be a small but fun party, and we only have to walk over there. I’m trying to concoct an eclipse drink for the event. We will see what I can come up with. Suggestions welcome.
She’s offering Coronas and Blue Moon beer but I don’t drink beer.
Some cocktail options for you:
Solar Flare Margarita: A twist on the classic margarita with orange juice and a splash of grenadine to mimic the colors of a solar eclipse. Serve in a salt-rimmed glass.
Lunar Eclipse: A layered cocktail with black vodka over cranberry juice, topped with a layer of peach schnapps and a dash of lime for a gradient effect resembling a lunar eclipse.
Total Eclipse: A dark, mysterious cocktail made with black rum, crème de cassis, and lemon juice, topped with club soda and a slice of star fruit for garnish.
Eclipse Spritz: A refreshing spritz made with Aperol, prosecco, and a splash of cola to darken the hue, garnished with an orange slice, symbolizing the sun.
Shadow and Light: A cocktail that plays with the contrast of flavors and colors, using activated charcoal for the shadow (darkness) and coconut cream for the light, mixed with vodka and pineapple juice for a tropical taste.
She likes you as a neighbor, correct?
One of my friends was trying to describe his neighbor’s eclipse margarita recipe. I said it sounds like “drink tequila until everything goes dark”.
Black ice martinis.
