It's stressful to skim a cocktail menu as a server looks you down or your seamless delivery estimate rises, yet nothing should be more soothing than a decent alcoholic beverage. Worse is panicking and ordering something off the menu that you end up hating or just going with the first item you've heard of, even if you don't like it. Kitchens all over the world are already halfway to being bars this time of year, filled with spices, Indian masalas, herbs, and hidden bottles saved from last month's autumn. This is the season when people start mixing drinks at home, thinking about old flings, and Googling their birth charts. So, to save time and emotional damage, here is a list of cocktails that you can try at home or when you’re at the bar, paired to your zodiac sign. These will have moody modern flavours or an aura of a particular desi spice to it, and enough personality to match your sign.
Whiskey Sour, Aries
The bold and daring Aries should try a Whiskey Sour. This drink is made with whiskey, lemon juice, sugar, and, if you're feeling brave like the powerful Aries, a little egg white. The Whiskey Sour is tangy, sweet, and smooth - perfect for the adventurous Aries!
Old Fashioned, Taurus
The Taurus is a practical, responsible, determined and dependable person, like the classic Old-Fashioned drink. This drink has whiskey, sugar, bitters, and an orange slice. A Taurean likes things that are simple and traditional. They will enjoy sipping this drink while unwinding or spending time with their loved ones.

Masala Whiskey Sparkler, Gemini
Gemini brings weather mood swings to a new level. One minute it’s laughter and memes, the next it’s deep thoughts and cancelled calls. So their cocktail has to keep up. This whiskey sparkler starts with soda but throws in orange peel, mint, chaat masala, and maybe a little nimbu syrup if the mood calls for it. It doesn’t settle into one flavour, and neither do they. It’s fizzy, noisy, and refuses to be boring.
Chai Infused Rum, Cancer
Cancers pretend they’re over it, but everyone knows they’re still thinking about that emotional downpour from two months ago. This cocktail wraps itself around them like an old shawl. The base is strong black tea steeped with cinnamon, cardamom, and clove, spiked gently with dark rum. It’s not dramatic. It’s just deeply personal and surprisingly effective.

Pineapple Pina Coladas, Leo
Leos simply look better with a crown, just like pineapples. Therefore, it makes logical sense that people would appreciate something as outrageous as these pineapple piña coladas, which are served inside the pineapple! Just use a pineapple corer, which is an instrument that can hollow out a whole pineapple in 45 seconds flat and make your pina coladas in it.
Tomatini, Virgo
Trustworthy, sensible Virgos also need to have a little fun with their perfection, don't they? This is a parody of a traditional dirty martini. This martini gets its vivid colour and rich flavour from tomatoes rather than olive brine. Gin's botanical flavours complement tomatoes surprisingly well and evoke the flavours of the plant's fruit and leaves.

Kokum Rose Martini, Libra
Libras want a drink that looks good on the tray and tastes like diplomacy. The kokum rose martini does both without raising its voice. Gin meets kokum extract, rose water, and a swirl of crushed ice that melts just fast enough to keep the flavour soft. It’s the sort of cocktail that brings people together and refuses to offend anyone. Libras will probably offer a sip to everyone before taking one themselves.
Mai Tai, Scorpio
A Mai Tai could be just the drink for a woman of this zodiac, as she is always on the lookout for something new to try. This colourful cocktail is made with curaçao, syrup, lime juice and rum. It's a bold and passionate choice for a brave Scorpio looking for adventure! Go on, take a risk. A Mai Tai awaits!

Dirty Shirley, Sagittarius
Since Sagittarians are playful and optimistic, they could try a new twist on the classic Shirley Temple. This one is called the Dirty Shirley Temple. It's made with vodka and grenadine, so it's got a little kick! The cherry garnish and sweet grenadine can take you right back to childhood for a nostalgic experience that could put a smile on your face.
Cranberry Thyme Vodka Lemonade, Capricorn
You begin with vodka, which is possibly the earthiest liquor available! It sometimes comes from potatoes, which doesn’t really get much earthier than that (although now it’s more commonly made with sorghum, wheat, or barley). Next up, you have your cranberry thyme syrup, which couldn’t be simpler; it’s just reduced cranberry juice simmered with fresh thyme, then strained and cooled. This gives the cocktail that gorgeous garnet colour without being overpowering.

Mint Julep, Aquarius
It's a fun and funky drink that an independent spirit like an Aquarian woman would enjoy. They are open to trying new things on the go or taking things the way they come. So, a refreshing drink like a Mint Julep would be ideal! It's made with bourbon, sugar, water, crushed ice and fresh mint.
French Martini, Pisces
A Piscean is known for their creativity and ability to perceive art. A sophisticated and pretty pink drink like a French Martini might be just the potion to make their evenings enjoyable. The French Martini has vodka, raspberry, pineapple juice, and Chambord liqueur. The artistic Pisces will go for a couple of this tipple on any given day.
