This month, as daytime skies grow dark for the first total solar eclipse in 38 years, you’ll want to find yourself a comfy perch, some protective eyewear and a tasty cocktail. We have you covered on the last one with this playful spin on a Rum Sour, made with activated charcoal and seasonal berries.

Ingredients

  • 5 Blackberries
  • 2 oz Spiced rum
  • 3/4 oz Simple syrup
  • 3/4 oz Fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz Egg white
  • 1 barspoon Activated charcoal
  • Garnish: Angostura bitters

Steps

  1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the blackberries in a shaker.

  2. Add the remaining ingredients, and dry-shake (without ice) until the egg white turns foamy, for 20 seconds.

  3. Add ice and shake vigorously until well-chilled.

  4. Double-strain into a chilled coupe glass.

  5. Garnish with 3 dashes of Angostura bitters.
