The Midnight Eclipse plays with light and shadow — dark, velvety Goslings Black Seal rum meets the bright tang of grapefruit. Amaro Montenegro and Aperol weave in bittersweet warmth, while Angostura grounds it all with spice. A mysterious yet refreshing sip, as striking as its name.

The inspiration behind this cocktail, as explained by home bartender Adam Rucker, “this cocktail is inspired by the dark, rich flavour profile of Goslings Black Seal Rum and the mysterious, velvety texture of an eclipse. The combination of Amaro Montenegro and Angostura bitters adds depth and warmth, while the grapefruit juice provides a tangy and refreshing contrast.“
