About Aries
I created this spiced cherry and gingerale cocktail to connect to the cardinal fire energy of the Aries zodiac sign.
Aries is a sign of passion, zest, and ushering forth into new territories. As the expression of cardinal fire, this zodiac sign is the spark that lights the flame. Symbolized by the divine ram, this energy connects us to our passion and inspiration, ushers boldness and courage. Aries reminds us to take action, unencumbered by fear or doubts that otherwise hold us back.
The meaning of this zodiac sign inspired the Aries cocktail below. However, overtime I’ve created more in-depth recipes that also resonate with this energy. For other Aries drinks and inspiration, I recommend:

Ingredients and Inspiration
In spirit of such a quick, zesty zodiac sign I wanted an Aries recipe that could be made fast and easy.
The spice of cayenne and zest of lime speaks to Aries’ ability to break through barriers and get energy moving. Agave nectar and gingerale bring some Mars (the planetary ruler of Aries) energy for passion and power.
The fruity bite of cherry is a reminder to foster inner joy and passion. While cherry isn’t associated with Mars, I wanted something that added that excitement with which to follow our inspirations.
If desired, you can enhance the recipe by muddling fresh ginger or adding orange bitters or orange sec for more jovial energy. My favorite bitters for both cocktails and mocktails is All The Bitter. You can get them for 10% off with my code “WCC.”
For an alcoholic Aries cocktail, you can use your choice of tequila, mezcal or whiskey. While initially I was leaning towards a Mexican Mule variation given agave’s connection with Mars and passion, I thought that whiskey would offer a good grounded option and naturally melds with the gingerale (for any Jameson and gingerale cocktail fans).
For an Aries non-alcoholic mocktail, you have a few options. You can simply forego the alcohol (and double the recipe for more volume), or use your favorite tequila or whiskey nonalcoholic spirit replacement at 1 ounce instead of 1.5.
All in all, this Aries ginger ale cherry sour is aimed to inspire boldness and action.
