What better way to get the party started than putting an espresso martini into the hands of a Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)? While the archer naturally has all the expressive energy that anyone else would need a shot and a cold brew to access, wouldn’t it be fun for the rest of us to see their radiance fully on display? Sensational charm aside, below their surface, Sagittarians have a surprising amount of intellectual depth. They appreciate the bright, social side of things, but also something more nuanced and complex. That’s why we’ve altered the traditional espresso martini a bit. In this version, Maggie’s Farm coffee liqueur and Averna elevate this classic into something special that all the signs of the heavens will adore.
