In honor of Women’s History Month, North Fork Table & Inn has debuted a celebratory Smoked Orange Negroni featuring Mount Gay’s ‘Eclipse’ Rum that will only be available to order throughout the month of March.
Mount Gay originated from Barbados in 1703, becoming the world’s oldest rum distillery. In 2019, Trudiann Banker took over as the company’s first female master blender and went on to create the brand’s ‘Eclipse’ Rum that is incorporated in North Fork Table & Inn’s Smoked Orange Negroni. With burnt notes of vanilla, banana, caramel, and summer fruit, Eclipse is perfect for this cocktail that is meant to be strong — like women such as Trudiann.
