5Church
Amarillo Eclipse Cocktail
5Church’s Beverage Director Patricia Smith has crafted a unique twist on her signature “Amarillo Moon” cocktail, the Amarillo Eclipse-made with Flor de Cana Rum, mango, lime, black lava salt and cayenne. The drink comes complete with complimentary Solar Eclipse glasses if you’re still looking for a pair.

EVO Bakery

Moon Pies
What could be more appropriate than a Moon Pie today? Thanksfully, EVO Bakery has that ish on lock. But it looks like they’re going fast. Better hustle.
[location-2] SOL Southwest Kitchen & Tequila Bar
SOL’s party starts at 11 a.m. so you have plenty of time to chug their eclipse-themed specialty cocktails. The restaurant will also be giving out free glasses while supplies last. And there will be live music at each location on the patio from 4-7 p.m.

Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit
Eclipse Biscuit
Callie’s has doubled down on the sweet and savory with a black and yellow icing topped biscuit that looks like the moon blocking the sun. Get ’em while they’re hot.
[location-5] Magnolias
Moon Pie Cake
Magnolia’s pastry chef Andrea Upchurch knowns what’s up. She’s concocted a moon pie cake for maximum carbo-loading.
