Summer, appetizers, relaxation… cocktails? When the server comes over, it’s always a struggle to decide which cocktail to order, and we end up choosing the same one as before.

Follow this guide!
Reminder: Excessive alcohol consumption is dangerous for your health. Please drink responsibly.
Aries: Tequila Sunrise
The Tequila Sunrise gets its name from its colors, which mimic a sunset. This cocktail is perfect for Aries, a fire sign, as it matches their fiery energy. In addition, the mixture of alcohol, fruit juice and syrup calms Aries’ strong moods.
Ingredients: tequila, orange juice, grenadine.
Taurus: Old Fashioned
The oldest definition of “cocktail” is: a strong spirit, sugar, water, and bitters. Thus was born the Old Fashioned. This cocktail suits the luxurious and classic taste of the Taurus zodiac sign.
Ingredients: bourbon, sugar, Angostura bitters, orange zest.
Gemini: Gin Tonic
For Geminis, a gin tonic! This cocktail fits the social nature of this zodiac sign, as it’s light and sparkling! Moreover, it’s festive and easy to drink.
Ingredients: gin, tonic, lemon.
Cancer: White Russian
With its coffee liqueur, the White Russian is as soothing and comforting as Cancer’s protective cocoon. This cocktail perfectly reflects the nurturing and enveloping side of the zodiac sign. Remember, it’s not a coffee!
Ingredients: vodka, coffee liqueur, cream.
Leo: Manhattan
Named after one of New York’s five boroughs, the Manhattan is sophisticated. Plus, legend has it that it was created for a banquet hosted by Sir Winston Churchill’s mother in honor of the 1876 presidential candidate Samuel Jones Tilden. An impressive cocktail, worthy of Leo’s personality! I’m a Leo, and I love it!
Ingredients: whiskey, red vermouth, bitters, maraschino cherry.
Virgo: Martini
Simple, effective, elegant, precise, the Martini reflects Virgo’s meticulous attention. Just take a glass, add gin, vermouth, and voilà!
Ingredients: gin or vodka, dry vermouth, olive or lemon zest.
Libra: Cosmopolitan
So, I know it’s not everyone’s favorite, which is why I assign this cocktail to this zodiac sign. By essence, Libra seeks a balance of flavors without losing creativity. The Cosmopolitan is ideal for Libra’s harmony. And you’ll look very Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City while drinking it!
Ingredients: vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice, lime juice.
Scorpio: Negroni
This cocktail was created in Florence by Count Negroni who wanted a stronger version of the Americano, substituting soda water with gin. Intense and complex, this cocktail suits the mysterious nature of the Scorpio zodiac sign.
Ingredients: gin, Campari, red vermouth.
Sagittarius: Mojito
The Mojito is an adventurous cocktail, just like the Sagittarius zodiac sign it represents! I make this comparison because the mojito is adventurous and refreshing, just like the free spirit of Sagittarius. Indeed, who else would dare to mix mint leaves with rum? Probably a Sagittarius!
Ingredients: rum, mint, sugar, lime, soda water.
Capricorn: Scotch on the Rocks
Now, let’s get serious and serve a Scotch on the Rocks to Capricorn! And make it quick! Serious and traditional, this cocktail seems suited to the strict nature of the zodiac sign. No frills, just pure alcohol.
Ingredient: scotch.
Aquarius: Blue Lagoon
I don’t know about you, but I’m always surprised to see a blue cocktail. Red, green, clear, brown, okay, but blue, that’s just weird! But not for Aquarius! With their original spirit, this zodiac sign won’t be surprised to drink a blue, innovative, and unique cocktail.
Ingredients: vodka, blue curaçao, lemon juice.
Pisces: Sex on the Beach
And the last but not least, the most sensual! This suggestively named cocktail sparks your imagination: what will happen after you drink it? It’s perfect for Pisces, who have an unparalleled imagination and can embark on wild adventures!
Ingredients: vodka, peach juice, orange juice, cranberry juice.
I had a lot of fun writing this article about cocktails and zodiac signs! It’s not a common topic, but a little fun never hurts! If you enjoyed the article, please let me know (or recommend other cocktails). See you soon, I’ve got an aperitif to prepare!
