Cocktail Description
The Tropical Eclipse cocktail is where the rich darkness of navy rum meets the bright sunshine of tropical fruits—creating a captivating interplay of shadow and light in your glass.
This sophisticated rum cocktail balances the molasses-rich intensity of Goslings Black Seal with layers of stone fruit from the premium apricot liqueur and citrus brightness from fresh orange and lime juices. The almond orgeat adds a subtle nutty complexity and silky texture, while Grand Marnier contributes refined orange notes and additional depth. Despite its complex flavor profile, the Tropical Eclipse is surprisingly approachable to make at home—requiring just a good shake with ice and a simple strain into an ice-filled Old-Fashioned glass. It's the perfect cocktail for warm summer evenings on the patio or as a transportive winter escape, and pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, Caribbean cuisine, or desserts featuring tropical fruits and chocolate. The lime zest garnish releases aromatic oils that complement the drink's citrus elements while adding visual appeal.
