Mixology Astrology: What Cocktails to Order Based on Your Sign

Cocktails are your company during special occasions. Whether it’s a birthday, an anniversary or a promotion at work, celebrate in style by choosing a beverage that suits your taste and character.

So, what are the zodiac signs’ favorite drinks? Here’s your guide to finding out which is the best for you.

1. Aries (March 21–April 19): Bloody Mary

The firstborn sign of the zodiac deserves the best, like the hot and bold Bloody Mary. The mix of the contrasting and exploding flavors of lemon juice and pepper paired with salt and hot sauce perfectly fits the feisty personality of Aries.

You’ll surely enjoy the savory tone of this drink. The next time you leave home for a night out, add this cocktail as your go-to and let your buds have the best time.

2. Taurus (April 20–May 20): Old Fashioned

Nothing precisely captures the outmoded vibe of Taurus than a drink of the same name. As people who prefer the familiarity of the tradition from their style to etiquette, the simplicity of the old fashioned cocktail will take your heart captive.

When you want to chill in your living room and binge on your favorite TV show, whip up a good glass of old fashioned and enjoy each sip with zest.

3. Gemini (May 21–June 20): Cosmopolitan

Gemini’s witty yet funny side shines in an icy glass of cosmopolitan. A drink that’s not too sweet or overly tart, this cocktail wraps the playful yet intellectually curious people born in May and June. Indulge in the clean, sweet and citrusy flavor of the vodka.

Ideal to serve for yourself and fellow Gemini friends, you’ll love having this tasty beverage at your party.

4. Cancer (June 21-July 22): Sangria

Although reserved, people born under the sign of Cancer aren’t afraid to stand on what they believe in. They’re ready to fight to protect their loved ones. A fresh, red sangria is the epitome of this kind of bravery. It’s a delicious drink concocted out of red wine, sparkling water, fresh orange and berries and a top choice by adult Cancer people because of its rich, cool tone. It’s an invigorating summer drink.

Taking a sip of a chilled, refreshing cocktail by the poolside doesn’t sound like a bad idea to stay hydrated.

5. Leo (July 23–August 22): Manhattan

As one of the most in-demand cocktails in the world for over a century, a glass of Manhattan embodies the confidence, charisma and passion of people born under the sign of Leo. This classic cocktail has only three ingredients — whisky, bitters and sweet vermouth.

Enjoy a sophisticated drink that stood the test of time, like how Leos always measured up to the people’s expectations.

6. Virgo (August 23–September 22): Whisky Sour

This excellent cocktail gets the accurate balance of flavors, with the right proportions of floral bourbon, tangy lemon juice and sweet syrup, deserving of Virgo’s perfectionist personality. It’s a flawless drink for a sign that loves order and systems.

Every sip of this incredible drink tastes like cool, satisfying flavored water hitting your throat. Enjoy it with your friends over a lovely summer dinner date, dressed in your best clothes.

7. Libra (September 23–October 22): Bellini

The simplicity and fizzy taste of the iconic bellini cocktails take after the charming, balanced and romantic nature of Libras. Made from only two ingredients — Prosecco and fresh peaches, you can easily knock up a refreshing and bodied alcoholic mix in minutes.

The secret to the best bellini is high-quality peaches. If you can’t find fresh fruits, use peach purée or frozen. The next time you fancy a special Italian beverage, make a great bellini.

8. Scorpio (October 23–November 21): Margarita

What cocktail is the best for a Scorpio? People born in this sign are stoic, just like the features of a classic margarita. It’s colorless and visually unappealing, yet powerful because of tequila and interesting due to its multiple tasting notes, ranging from sweet, bitter, sour and savory. It’s a balanced drink and a staple on menus because of its popularity.

But you don’t have to stick to a basic margarita. If you’re craving tangy and sweet tones, replace tequila with sake and add pineapple juice. The result is a thirst-quenching pineapple sake margarita, a drink with an irresistible blend of orange, pineapple and sake that will hook you. A glass of margarita on a beautiful night is the most satisfying reward for hardworking Scorpios.

9. Sagittarius (November 22–December 21): Dirty Shirley

Sagittarius people are adaptable creatures, just like their signature drink, Dirty Shirley, an upgraded version of your well-loved Shirley Temple mocktail. It has the same fruity flavor you enjoyed as a kid but with a vodka kick.

This drink reflects a mutable Sagittarius, like how the beverage has evolved to suit an adult bud. Honest Sagittarius deserves to get a buzz out of a highball glass of Dirty Shirley any time.

10. Capricorn (December 22–January 19): Mezcal

A traditional Mexican cocktail made from agave plants, this beverage offers a fresh spin on the old fashioned cocktail by using mezcal instead of whisky or bourbon as base, resembling the ambitious personality of Capricorns through innovation.

Its golden hue and smoky flavor captivate the eyes and buds — every slow sip offers a thrill. Make an ordinary night extra special by making the best cocktail for a confident Capricorn.

11. Aquarius (January 20–February 18): Vodka Martini

Gin isn’t the only way to make a full-bodied martini with an aromatic and flavorful profile. A vodka martini is a cool, clean cocktail with vodka as the base spirit.

Aquarians highly value innovation and freedom, portrayed in how a vodka martini can be a simple two-ingredient drink or an elegant cocktail garnished with lemon or olives. Every Aquarius has a good excuse to indulge in this classy beverage that captures their hearts.

12. Pisces (February 19–March 20): French Martini

A classic martini invigorated with a black raspberry liqueur originated in the Loire Valley in France, the cotton-candy sweetness and fruity notes of this cocktail are just what a Pisces needs to liven up their Friday night.

Made of vodka, Chambord and pineapple juice, it’s a heavenly drink that tastes as good as it looks and is a spot-on option for imaginative Pisces. Escape the reality of a quiet or wild night with a glass of French Martini in your hand.

Choose Your Cocktail Based on Your Preference

You deserve a glass of your favorite cocktail during special occasions — but you don’t need such a good excuse to indulge in a few sips of an aromatic and indulgent alcohol mix. Reward your buds and whip up your mix whenever you feel like it. Liven up your nights with your chosen luxurious drink.
