Prepare your small plastic cup by rimming the edge with black sugar. To do this, run a lime wedge around the rim and dip it in black sugar until evenly coated. 2. In a shaker filled with ice, combine the dark rum, mezcal, passion fruit juice, lime juice, and ginger syrup. Shake well to chill and mix. 3. Strain the mixture into the prepared cup, filling it about halfway. 4. Carefully pour the chilled hibiscus tea over the back of a spoon to create a layered effect, allowing the darker liquids to sit below the vibrant red tea. 5. Add a dash of activated charcoal to the top without mixing for a striking color contrast that resembles a solar eclipse. 6. Gently place a small piece of edible gold leaf on the surface as a shimmering, star-like garnish.
