              Aries the Ram

               March 21 - April 19

Aries people are assertive, independent, energetic, and impatient.  They can also be strong-willed, spontaneous, and driven. Aries are fire signs, and so too is their personality. Aries signs have an excellent sense of humor, and they get along with almost everyone they meet. For the Aries rum cocktail, I chose the Rum Old Fashioned.   It is a spirit-forward cocktail, can be made with few ingredients and very little preparation, and perfect for someone who has little patience and wants quick results. 

           Rum Old Fashioned

Ingredients:

2 oz.  Aged Rum (Choose your favorite!)

½ oz. Simple Syrup or one sugar cube

2 heavy dashes of Angostura Bitters

Directions:

  1. If using a sugar cube, muddle it with the bitters to create a syrup.  If using simple syrup, build in a short glass. 
  2. Add your rum, and stir.  
  3. Zest the peel of an orange over the top, drop-in, and fill with ice.
