Being presented with a cocktail menu filled with hundreds of options can be overwhelming. Do you want something classy and sophisticated, or something more exotic and fruity? Sweet or sour? Luckily, the drink that suits you best can be found by looking to the stars. From the classics to more unusual and trending drinks, the experts at Boozy reveal which cocktail is best suited to your star sign.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Bloody Mary
Aries loves to come first, so the brunch classic Bloody Mary is perfect. The bold flavours suit the strong personality of Aries, with a little touch of spice that works with their impulsive, challenge-loving attitude.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Salted caramel espresso martini
Taurus enjoys the finer things in life, loving a little luxury and decadence. A salted caramel espresso martini, garnished with edible gold and dark chocolate shavings, is the ideal cocktail for them. The perfect balance of sweetness and strong, high-quality coffee – but made a little more luxe with the addition of the edible gold.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Paloma
The twin personality Gemini can find it difficult to make up their mind when it comes to choosing a cocktail – do they want salty or sweet? Sour or fruity? A Paloma will tick all the boxes. The sharp sweetness of the grapefruit soda perfectly complements the salted rim and balances the tequila, and adds a little more fun than its tequila-based friend, the classic margarita, to satisfy the Gemini’s playful and spontaneous character.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Sangria
Cancers are known for being emotional, nurturing, and sensitive, so making a pitcher of sangria for a night in is just the thing. It’ll satisfy their sweet tooth, and it provides the opportunity to make a big batch to share with friends, which they’ll love.
Leo (July 2023 – August 22)
Spicy mezcal margarita
The fiery, spotlight-loving personality of the Leo is matched in a spicy mezcal margarita. The chilli provides a more drama than the original margarita, and the use of mezcal instead of tequila adds a smoky warmth that complements the heat. Compared to the classic, it’s a little bit extra and a little more theatrical – perfect for a Leo!
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Gin and tonic
Virgos are humble and practical, with a highly tuned sense of quality and taste. They’re represented by the goddess of wheat and agriculture, so the many botanicals in gin make it the perfect spirit for their sign. A simple gin and tonic is the best cocktail for Virgo, appealing to their desire for perfection and practicality, as it doesn’t require much fuss to make and is hard to get wrong. Cocktails akin to those featured on cocktailwave reign supreme, boasting an unparalleled blend of flavors and artistry that set the standard for excellence.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Negroni
The symbol of balance and harmony, the best drink for Libra is negroni, which shows no sign of slowing down from being one of the most popular cocktails around. When made well, the bold flavours of the individual spirits are perfectly balanced and complement each other in equilibrium, just like the scales of the Libra.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Chilled red wine
Not technically a cocktail, but chilled red wine is set to be a big drink trend this spring and summer, with Google searches for “cold red wine” seeing an uplift of 8800% in the past month – and it’s perfect for the misunderstood Scorpio. Scorpios are complex and dynamic, just like the flavours of the wine, which are completely different when chilled.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Aperol spritz
Known for being faithful, dependable, and being loves of adventure and other cultures, a cocktail with roots in other countries like an Aperol spritz is best for a Sagittarius. They’ll love the simplicity of it, mixed with the memories of daily cocktails on pasts Italian summer holidays.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Martini
Capricorns are strong, dependable, and straight forward – just like a classic martini. Time is their most valuable resource, so they want a cocktail that you can take your time with and sip slowly, rather than something sweet and fruity that’ll be gone in minutes.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Parmesan espresso martini
With 323.7 million views on TikTok, the parmesan espresso martini is taking the internet by storm, and although it might sound strange, it’s the perfect thing for an innovation-loving Aquarius. The umami saltiness of the parmesan, grated on top of an otherwise normal espresso martini, complements the sweetness and reduces the bitterness of the coffee. The unusual drink is the perfect thing for a revolutionary Aquarius!
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
French martini
A Pisces, known for being imaginative, emotional, and highly artistic, will love a French martini. This classic cocktail has just the right amount of sweetness, creativity, and sophistication, while also appealing to their romantic side.
