Though one of nature’s most wondrous spectacles will be over in less than 3 minutes, you can enjoy these cocktails created with Mount Gay Eclipse while witnessing this rare celestial event. While I normally sip on vodka, these cocktails are enticing and fun to commemorate this spectacular event.
In 1910, master blender Timothy Thornhill, was looking to name his newest bottled creation. Fatefully, the day his rum launched overlapped a rare astrological event: a total eclipse over the South Pole. The legendary rum would be named Eclipse, reflecting its uniqueness and exceptional quality.
Eclipse is the reference for character, body and aroma by which Mount Gay’s Master Blender Allen Smith uses to blend every variety of Mount Gay Rum. For many rum aficionados, Eclipse is also the reference by which all rum should be measured. Eclipse has a brilliant golden amber color and a luxuriously complex aroma.

1 oz Dark Herbal Liqueur
1 oz Pineapple Juice
