As South Africans begin to lean into the rhythm of the festive season — where tables are fuller, celebrations stretch longer and moments beg to be remembered — a new local creation is set to add a literal shimmer to end-of-year indulgence.
Bush Whisper Expeditions, the proudly South African tourism company, has announced the launch of Lady Eclipse, a luxurious chocolate–orange glitter liqueur designed to bring elegance, celebration and sensory delight to the 2025 festive season.
Crafted locally by Joburg Distilling, Lady Eclipse enters the drinks landscape not merely as another festive tipple, but as a statement of craftsmanship, creativity and conscious celebration.
Where Indulgence Meets Artistry
Lady Eclipse is built around a rich and carefully balanced flavour profile. Velvety dark chocolate forms the base, layered with bright, zesty orange citrus that lifts the palate and leaves a smooth, lingering finish. What sets it apart, however, is its edible shimmer — a subtle sparkle that transforms each pour into a visual experience, catching the light and elevating even the simplest moment into something celebratory.
From intimate dinners to lively festive gatherings, Lady Eclipse has been designed for versatility. It can be enjoyed neat, poured over ice, mixed into holiday cocktails, or drizzled over desserts to instantly add glamour and festive flair.
A Festive Expression of South African Craft
“Lady Eclipse is an elevated indulgence,” says Talitha Oosthuizen, Founder of Bush Whisper Expeditions. “It captures everything the festive season embodies — sparkle, celebration, and sensory luxury — while being a proud product of South African craftsmanship.”
That sense of pride is woven through every aspect of the product, from its local production to its intention. Crafted by Joburg Distilling, Lady Eclipse reflects a growing movement towards premium, locally produced spirits that can stand confidently on any festive table.
Two Expressions, One Signature Sparkle
Lady Eclipse is available in two carefully crafted options, allowing consumers to choose how much shimmer they want to bring to their celebrations:
-
Lady Eclipse Chocolate–Orange Glitter Liqueur – R600 per bottle
-
Lady Eclipse Chocolate–Orange Liqueur Classic – R550 per bottle
Each bottle contains 750ml of liqueur at 35% ABV, offering a luxurious balance of flavour and warmth.
Celebration With Purpose
True to the ethos of the Bush Whisper Foundation, Lady Eclipse extends its impact beyond the glass. A portion of the proceeds from every bottle sold will go towards anti-poaching initiatives and efforts in the fight against human trafficking, ensuring that festive enjoyment also contributes to meaningful, real-world change.
In a season often defined by excess, Lady Eclipse offers a reminder that celebration can be both beautiful and purposeful.
