Here's What Cocktail You Should Make Based On Your Astrological Sign

Let's be real, Aries are ordering a round of shots at the bar. But why stop at just plain tequila? Get the party started with these adorable slushy shots instead. All you need is tequila, lime juice, honey, and ice to blend up your margarita shots, then you can get creative with your fruity flavors and additions. We topped our shots with chopped strawberries, raspberries, pineapple, and blackberries, but you can get totally creative here. Add the salt rim, and get ready to cheers to the best night possible.

Want to steal the spotlight at your next party, perhaps like your favorite fiery Aries friend? It's easy, just be that friend that people remember as “Oh, they make an amazing campfire mule!” Staying faithful to our queen mother, the Moscow mule, we’ve replaced the vodka with some smoked bourbon or whiskey, added some maple syrup for a touch of autumn magic, kept our lemon juice and ginger beer as our old-time residents, and included an optional roasted marshmallow to garnish (campfire → roasted marshmallow… get it? 😉).

Tauruses are dependable and often live life deliciously. Kind of like the experience of drinking a White Russian, right? We abide by this delicious cocktail every home bartender needs to know. Tastes like a chocolate boozy milkshake and requires only three easy ingredients you likely already have on hand.

There's relaxing and then there's Taurus-level relaxing. Think of the Painkiller as the quickest way to feel like you've been lounging in a tub/jacuzzi/hammock all day, even if you're inside. Created in the 1970s at the Soggy Dollar Bar in British Virgin Islands, the Painkiller lives up to its name, delivering plenty of booze in a frothy, nutmeg-dusted package. Looking for a way to use up the rest of that pineapple juice? Our dole whip mimosas are a brunch staple.

Long Island iced teas are the ultimate cocktail mystery, and Geminis are the ultimate mystery to many. How does this classic cocktail, with its combination of five alcohols, manage to taste incredible and resemble the taste of a lemony sweet tea?! How do Geminis manage to be such efficient social chameleons? We may never know, but we can't get enough of them.

Get the Long Island Iced Tea recipe.

Geminis, we love you even if you do seem to have two different personalities! So to satisfy all your inner selves, especially if you like piña coladas and strawberry daiquiris, make the totally rad Miami Vice cocktail. The vibrant drink emerged during a time of big hair, bright neon colors, and massive shoulder pads, and combines two iconic frozen drinks for a summer cocktail that is the best of both worlds.

The more a Cancer warms up to us, the more we love them. The same is true with these popsicle-topped spritzers. We swap the plain old ice in a spritz for a homemade boozy pop. As it melts, the pop infuses your drink with sweet summer flavors all while keeping it cold. So feel free to set it down during a day at the pool or at any outdoor gathering—this spritz only gets better the longer it sits.

Cancers are often a hard nut to crack (they are the crabs of the zodiac, after all). But when one softens to you? It's so worth it, much like this tropical limeade. To unlock the delicious concentrated flavor found in citrus skins, we made an oleo saccharum for this cocktail. Let us explain: Granulated sugar draws the flavorful essential oils out of citrus peels as they sit at room temperature. We love watching the sugar transform into a beautiful syrup, perfect for flavoring seltzer, cocktails, or desserts.

Leos, like pineapples, just look better with a crown. So we think it only makes sense they'd enjoy something as OTT as these pineapple piña coladas served right inside the pineapple! We don’t usually love uni-tasking kitchen gadgets, but we love a pineapple corer to help us get the most out of cutting a pineapple. Whole pineapples cost way less than cored, and this tool will hollow one out in 45 seconds flat.

Get the Pineapple Coladas recipe.

Leos love the spotlight, and this frozen, slushy drink is a scene-stealer that can make any summer day or Tuesday evening feel like a mini tropical vacation. While frozen margaritas might be a classic for summer, we think that now that Sex And The City is back on Netflix, cosmos (especially this frozen version) are back in the chat and ready for their summer spotlight, too.

A Cadillac margarita is basically a higher-end margarita made with a high-quality tequila (typically a reposado) and Grand Marnier, perfect for a Virgo who thinks their cocktail should meet standards as high as their own. Reposado tequila will have notes of oak and vanilla, making this margarita really stand out.

Get the Cadillac Margarita recipe.

Pragmatic, reliable Virgos need a bit of fun with their perfection, too, right? Enter: this riff on a classic dirty martini. Instead of olive brine, this martini gets its rich flavor and vibrant color from tomatoes. If you’re skeptical, hear us out: Think of this cocktail as a cleaner, crisper version of a Bloody Mary. And the botanical flavors of gin pair surprisingly well with the tomato, and evokes flavors of both the fruit and the leaves of the plant (an aroma that has inspired many trendy candles, BTW).

One thing you should never do? Expect a Libra to make a quick decision (we still love you, Libras). But this cocktail might be the easiest decision they make all year. This delightfully effervescent and very easy piña colada spritz is fast, fuss-free, and still hits all the right notes. With rum or without, the combination of coconut, pineapple, and lime is pretty unbeatable especially for those days we want a piña colada, but we don’t want to get out the blender.

Get the Piña Colada Spritz recipe.

Libras are all about balance (and are often VERY indecisive), so what better way to keep those attributes in check than with a multi-layered dream of a cocktail? These take the idea behind classic faves like frozen margaritas and strawberry daiquiris to the next level with colorful, bright layers. They’re quick, simple, and best of all, only need five ingredients (plus fresh fruit garnishes, if you like) 😍.

Get the Layered Ombre Lemonade Drops recipe.

Secretive and cheeky, much like a Scorpio, there’s simplicity in this refreshing, easy drink made with just one part crisp lemonade and one part sweet tea that is made even better with a sneaky splash of vodka. Since the drink gained popularity in the 1960s after the American golfer Arnold Palmer was known to order this specialty drink, it’s now become a staple summertime beverage.

Deceptively simple to mix up, the Dark 'N' Stormy delivers a refreshingly complex wave of spice and zing, much like our favorite Scorpios. Want it with a twist? Try our Frozen Dark 'N' Stormy!

If you’ve ever been to Brazil (your nomadic Sagittarian friend likely already has!), there’s a very good chance you’ve downed at least one ice cold glass of the country’s national cocktail. The key ingredient is cachaça, a spirit made from fermented sugar cane juice. The resulting liquor is funky and vegetal, with sharp grassy flavors that are balanced by sugar and fresh lime juice. First-timers: Look for brands with light, fruity flavor profiles!

Get the Caipirinha recipe.

As the world travelers of the Zodiac, Sagittarians will love a drink that can transport them, too. So if life won’t give you a Caribbean getaway, make RUM punch. An infinitely versatile summer cocktail in a cheery shade of pinky peach red, this drink will have you feeling like you're on a beach in Jamaica in no time.

Capricorns expect the best of themselves, so it only is natural they enjoy a cocktail where all the components are the best they can be, like an Old Fashioned. Oaky and bittersweet, with a hint of citrus on the finish, the classic whiskey Old Fashioned is truly a bourbon lover's drink. You only need a few ingredients to make this classic cocktail—sugar, bitters, and a large ice cube—so you’ve really got to make them count.

Get the Old Fashioned Cocktail recipe.

Capricorns have determination, are super dedicated, and want to get things DONE, which, to us, screams frozen espresso martini. By freezing concentrated cold brew, blending it with Kahlúa and vodka, and topping it with an instant espresso Baileys whipped cream, we’ve created a frozen espresso martini that is not only perfectly balanced, but also incredibly easy to make and super-impressive.
