In a shaker filled with ice, combine the fresh orange juice and lemon juice. Shake well until the mixture is chilled. 2. Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice, creating the first layer. 3. Slowly pour the grenadine over the back of a spoon to gently add it to the glass, allowing it to settle at the bottom and create the second layer. 4. In the same shaker, now empty, add the black vodka and shake briefly with ice to chill it. Carefully layer the black vodka over the orange and lemon juice mixture by pouring it slowly over the back of a spoon. This creates a striking dark layer on top, simulating the eclipse. 5. Top the drink with a splash of champagne or sparkling wine, adding a touch of effervescence that represents the corona of the sun peeking out from behind the moon. 6. Garnish with an orange twist to accentuate the citrus notes and add a pop of color. To Serve: Serve the Solar Eclipse in a highball glass to showcase its beautiful layered effect.
