Gemini (May 21-June 21) is that girl or guy: the one with the je ne sais quoi the rest of the zodiac just can’t outdo. Or keep up with. Their zest for life makes the Twins a perfect match for the versatility of the daiquiri.

In a silly, goofy mood? Try a bright pink strawberry daiquiri. Want to examine the human condition? The tart, no-sugar-added Hemingway Daiquiri is the right option. Or maybe you want to vibrate at a higher frequency than the people around you. In that case, an overproof daiquiri with Jamaican rum is what you want. The mercurial moods of most Geminis will create openings for all of the above at one time or other. Keep the bar cart well stocked.

The margarita is well-loved by just about everyone for its ability to bring people together. Compassionate, understanding Cancer (June 22-July 22) is sure to relate.

Of course, you can split a few heavy pitchers among friends at your local restaurant. We’ve all enjoyed that, and a few of us know of children conceived after such revelry! That’s not what a Cancer has in mind. The Crab loves to give to those who really appreciate the intention behind their gestures, so the best margarita would involve just a close friends, some well-made nibbles, and lots of conversation. To Cancer, “midnight margaritas” a la Practical Magic is their idea of a perfect time: dancing around a beautiful kitchen, pouring drinks for their loved ones by the light of the moon, and a communal attempt to cope with how unhinged life seems to be. Plus you can pair this cocktail with the perfect meal for Cancer and learn a bit more about this special sign.

Though they may be a water sign, Scorpio (October 23-November 21) when provoked is notoriously fiery, which makes the Scorched Earth the perfect cocktail. Still, it’s not all battle and brooding with Scorpios. There’s deep attachment and loyalty. There’s a love of beauty. With the right partner, there’s fire and romance, too. A sprinkling of prickly, critical moments just adds spice to all of the above just adds to the excitement, doesn’t it?

The Scorched Earth would be like any other Negroni variation were it not for mezcal and amaro. Both mezcal and amaro have rich history in their respective cultures for being close family secrets–something staunch and loyal Scorpio can relate to. Agave plants take years to mature so that they can be distilled. The same goes for making amari…it’s a long wait for a low yield. These two ingredients define what’s most important to Scorpio: loyalty and passion. Plus you can pair this cocktail with the perfect meal for Scorpio and learn a bit more about this special sign.

Hardworking, ambitious Capricorn (December 22-January 19) sometimes takes a minute off to appreciate the finer things in life, and a Black Manhattan is just that. The usual sweet vermouth, however, is too easy for the rock-climbing goat, so we instead suggest Averna, which provides a luxurious flavor that more than holds its own against rye whisky. The Goat will appreciate sipping on this beautiful juxtaposition of flavors…while they consider the next step in their progress toward world domination. Plus you can pair this Black Manhattan with the perfect meal for Capricorn and learn a bit more about this special sign.

Classic gin martinis are one of the most under appreciated cocktails out there. It takes time to select and perfect the ingredients and methods required for an impeccable gin martini. Meticulous Virgo (August 23-September 22) will no doubt have mastered this meditative ritual: the perfect cocktail party cannot proceed without a martini.

A very, very Virgo pro tip: make a large batch of martinis ahead of time. Because a good Virgo plans way ahead, there is very likely a batch bottled up in their freezer, ready to pull out at a moment’s notice. How else could Virgo watch as their guests marvel at their effortless hosting skills than a Gin Martini? Plus you can pair this cocktail with the perfect meal for Virgo and learn a bit more about this special sign.

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.

Leos (July 23 to August 22) are fiery creatures full of passion, self-confidence, and unafraid of being the center of attention. Could there really be any other drink to represent the lions of the zodiac than the Aperol Spritz? Leo is already daydreaming about their starring role in a stunning film about life and love in the Italian countryside. Similarly, the spritz is no stranger to the spotlight. It’s the star of every aperitivo hour, its flame-orange color drawing longing glances from sippers of all persuasions. The spritz looks especially fine in the hand of a Leo, arriving fashionably late on their Vespa, hair tantalizingly wind-blown, and an Italian silk scarf fluttering dramatically at their neck. Well hello, gorgeous! Plus you can pair this cocktail with the perfect meal for Leo and learn a bit more about this special sign.

About the Aperol Spritz

The Aperol Spritz, one of 2024’s most popular cocktails, has its origins in Italy, particularly in the Veneto region. The Barbieri brothers in Padua created Aperol in 1919, but it didn’t gain widespread popularity until the 1950s. By the 2000s, the Aperol Spritz began to gain international fame, becoming a symbol of leisurely outdoor gatherings and summer festivities. Today, it’s celebrated worldwide as embodying the Italian lifestyle of enjoying good food, company, and relaxation.

Leave it to Aquarius (January 20 – February 18) to overthink the obvious. At its core, the Paloma is a simple, humble highball with just two ingredients: tequila and grapefruit soda. But an Aquarian, always the innovator, would immediately ask: What if it could be more? They can’t resist making improvements.

Why a Paloma for Aquarius?

Because tequila is the most important ingredient in a Paloma, this is where the Aquarian opportunity to tweak and evolve comes in. Encourage them to choose a tequila that aligns with their moral compass. Do they identify strongly with environmental causes? Beam Suntory’s Casa Sauza brand has won awards for its environmental practices. Do they care about social and humanitarian causes? Patron Tequila addresses fair wage practices, after-hours adult education, and access to local universities. Whatever Aquarius needs to make this Paloma truly their own.

With a little research, Aquarians can do their part to educate their friends on how to choose a sustainable, additive-free tequila brand that supports small, local farms and economies in Mexico. After all, they are one to bring people together. Plus you can pair this cocktail with the perfect meal for Aquarius and learn a bit more about this special sign.
