Bold, energetic Aries don’t beat around the bush when it comes to making their way through the world. Full of passion and conviction, those born under the sign of the ram have the headstrong confidence to get any initiative off the ground and the vision and enthusiasm to rally others to join. Sticking it through to completion, on the other hand, might pose a bit of a challenge, but we’re willing to forgive them since their excitement is so dang infectious.This cocktail honors Aries’ fiery, dynamic nature with its shocking pink color, limey watermelon freshness, and a spicy hit of habanero bitters.

Steadfast and loyal with a not-so-secret taste for luxury, the sign of Taurus is known for its love of security, comfort, and tranquility. Taureans thrive when they feel safe and cared for. That’s why they’re typically willing to work as hard as they need to for as long as it takes to make sure abundance is on the table, whether it takes the form of a soothing spa treatment, a sumptuous cashmere sweater or a supremely stacked savings account. While their fastidiousness can border on stubbornness, those born under the sign of the bull know it takes a whole lot of dedication to bring on the bounty.Our Taurus cocktail leans into the sign’s preference for soothing, botanical vibes by pairing gin with creamy mint, plus a hint of lime to keep it all in balance. It’s also green – the color of grassy fields, sparkling emeralds, and cold, hard cash – the true love language of any Taurus.

Dynamic, curious, and bursting with ideas, it often seems like Gemini folks have the mental energy of two people – fitting, since the air sign is represented by the archetype of the twins. Geminis are the ultimate jacks-of-all trades, switching from subject to subject, hobby to hobby, conversation to conversation with ease and enthusiasm. They’re super social, highly intellectual, and constantly engaged in the world around them. And while we all exhibit dual natures, those born under Gemini tend to be more comfortable than most when it comes to navigating the inherent contradictions of existence. Things are never black or white, good or bad – Gemini embraces the power of both, and – and is all the more interesting for it.To appeal to Gemini’s thirst for multifaceted experiences, we’ve concocted this tropical cocktail that’s equal parts sweet, tangy, creamy, and nutty. Bask in the complexity of it all!

Regal and commanding with a taste for the spotlight, Leo’s light shines warm and bright, drawing good friends, good fortune, and sometimes, a little drama, into their orbit. Symbolized by the lion, this is a magnanimous and proud sign that loves to shower their loved ones with affection, praise, and all-around good times. Whether cutting a rug on the dance floor, holding court at a dinner party, or charming the room during a work presentation, Leos have the power to infuse any occasion with good humor and infectious joie de vivre. But as we know, bright lights can cast a large shadow. Leos should check in with themselves to make sure they’re not stirring the pot for attention’s sake or engaging in not-so-noble behavior towards those they view as a threat to their throne. When they maintain a healthy relationship with their ego, however, these lions exhibit a generosity of spirit that encourages and uplifts everyone to be their bright, bold, luminous, ridiculous selves. For our Leo friends, we landed on this zesty, refreshing Frosé, the quintessential summer party starter. Blend it up and let the good times ROAR.

Often regarded as the perfectionists of the zodiac, Virgos have a reputation for being analytical, meticulous, and work-oriented. With a keen eye for detail, they are excellent problem solvers, finding pragmatic solutions to even the most abstract concerns to serve the best interest of all parties involved. They are devoted to their work projects, whether pertaining to their career, a field of study, or a hobby they’re passionate about, and dive deep into whatever subject they decide to pursue. While this might give the impression of an “all work, no play” kind of attitude, those born under the sign of the archetypal maiden know how to let their hair down, too – they just might need to conduct a risk analysis beforehand.Made with gin, chartreuse, maraschino liqueur, and lime juice, this elegant Virgo-inspired cocktail appeals to the sign’s taste for refinement. Pinkies up!

Represented by the scales of justice, libras are all about balance. They like to maintain an equilibrium in all aspects of life, enjoying work as much as play and cultivating harmonious relationships that never swing too far to any extreme. Their social intelligence often casts them in the role of the charming, peacekeeping glue that holds the group dynamic together. This is generally a very positive attribute, winning them a diverse array of friends from all walks of life, and bringing lots of beauty and joy into their world. But every gift comes with a price, and Libras should take care not to fall into people pleasing or spreading themselves too thin. A solid self-care regimen can help bring these socially-oriented air signs back down to Earth and reconnect them to their own sense of self.As one of the cocktails featured in our Watcher mixology competition, our Libra cocktail – the “Miami Vice” – pulls out all the stops. A unique spin on a daiquiri topped with pina colada-flavored whipped cream, this frosty tropical hybrid is the ultimate choice for chilling out. It’s pretty complex, but if you’re up for a challenge, it’s worth it. Otherwise, you can watch pro-mixologist (and Libra) Ricky Wang whip it up here.
