Aries: Bloody Maria
Fiery: That’s the word that best describes you, Aries. So you need an equally spicy drink to fuel you up in the morning, like the Bloody Maria. This twist on everyone’s favorite Bloody Mary, it’s made with tequila instead of vodka and a dash of jalapeno for heat.
Taurus: Fresh Lime Margarita
Why fix something that isn’t broken? The same logic applies to your drinks, traditionalist Taurus. While there are plenty of ways to mix up a margarita, you’ll stick with the classic, complete with fresh-squeezed lime and a salt rim, of course.
Gemini: Moscow Mule
From lounging poolside all afternoon to hitting up your neighbor’s backyard BBQ in the evening, you need a drink as versatile and go-with-the-flow as you are, Gem. AKA the Moscow Mule—try the traditional or shake it up with one of these delicious variations.
Cancer: Pina Colada
A sweet drink for an even sweeter person. While you’re busy taking care of other people, compassionate Cancer, let this frosty pina colada take care of you (by providing some much-needed refreshment, of course).
Leo: Grilled Peach and Pineapple Sangria
You’re a bit of a showoff, Leo (in the best way possible!) so don’t settle for the same-old, same-old. Get creative with a playful pitcher of this sangria—your friends will be so impressed by the combo of grilled fruit and booze.
Virgo: Cucumber Gin Smash

Scorpio: Spiked Lemonade
You know that what you see isn’t always what you get, sassy Scorp. Beneath your cool and calm exterior is a fiery zest for life… just like this not-so-innocent lemonade that’s spiked with rum or vodka for an extra kick.
Sagittarius: Blueberry Mojito

Aquarius: Guava Coconut Rum Cocktail
Some people put the lime in the coconut but not you, adventurous Aquarius. As someone who isn’t afraid to take risks, you put the guava in the coconut… the coconut rum cocktail, that is. Want more coconut concoctions? Try one of these tropical treats.
Pisces: Strawberry Mimosas
