Doug James posted a comment on Eclipse (by Leo Robitschek)

Built the Eclipse this evening and it is very tasty indeed! While many have stated that they find it a bit too sweet, to my palate it’s a perfectly balanced cocktail. After the first sip I added 2 drops of saline (4:1) and one dash of Angostura bitters. The saline really punched up the orange and cherry flavors while the Angostura added a subtle spice that pairs well with the smokiness of the Mezcal. I found this to be a really enjoyable cocktail.

Absolutely lovely cocktail. I added one drop of 4:1 saline solution and the flavors coalesced beautifully and just sang! Bright and fruity with a slightly dry finish. Brilliant!

Just discovered this gem of a liqueur last week and, holy smokes! It adds amazing flavors and just the right heat to a margarita. Highly recommended!
