The bull of the zodiac, Taurus (April 20-May 20), may at first appear like a stubborn beast but really they just want to sit quietly in green pastures amongst the clover and dandelions, inhaling the scent of wildflowers from a gentle breeze. In fact, relaxing in nature is one of the few times that you’ll find this sign at peace with the world around them.
Why an Extra-Botanical Gin and Tonic for Taurus?
Dependable Taurus needs only the quiet luxury of a well-made gin and tonic. It’s something you can find just about anywhere and it’s affordable. You’d be hard-pressed to get them out to the bar in the first place and they have better things to be spending their hard-earned money on (like that cashmere sweater they’ve been eyeing for a week or two, which probably looks quite similar to the one they bought the week before). Gin and tonics are also brimming with the lush botanicals the Earth sign will find comforting, and a well-crafted tonic is like them–just the right amount of bitter.
