Rum Astrology - Leo the Lion

                  Leo the Lion

          July 23 - August 22

The zodiac signs and meanings of Leo are about expanse, power and exuberance. Leo’s are natural born leaders, and are proud, optimistic, bold, and passionate. Beneath their dynamic persona lies a generous, loving, sensitive nature that they do not easily share with others. Leo is one of the fire signs. When I think about a powerful and bold rum cocktail one of the first to come to mind is the Corn and Oil.  The name itself makes you wonder what the flavor profile will be….and my best description is that it is both savory and sweet. 

                       Corn and Oil

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz. Cruzan Blackstrap Rum (or whichever dark rum you prefer)
  • ½ oz. Velvet Falernum
  • ½ oz. Fresh Lime Juice

  1. Build all ingredients in a rocks glass, stir, and fill with ice.
  2. Top the cocktail with 2 dashes of Angostura bitters and garnish with a twist of lime.
