They’re not only void of additives and stabilizers that you often find in store-bought varieties, but they’re also more cost-effective.

Caring, sensitive Cancers are known as the nurturers of the zodiac and love to dote on their nearest and dearest, whether they’re family members, friends, pets, or plants. Typically more homebodies than party animals, those born under this sign generally prefer to let loose by playing host – spoiling guests with comfortable surroundings, delicious food, and tasty beverages.This may come as a surprise when you first meet them. Like their symbol, the crab, Cancers can have a bit of a hard shell and may come across as cold, aloof, or dare we say it, crabby, upon first impression. But don’t be fooled. It’s all out of self-protection. Underneath that tough exterior, they’re some of the softest softies you’ll ever meet.Our Cancer cocktail is sweet, complex, and beautiful to look at – appealing to the delicate sensibilities of this loving and compassionate sign.

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!

Innovative, unconventional, big-picture thinking. That’s the defining characteristic of Aquarius. Concerned with the state of the world on a macro level, it’s not unusual to find Aquarians pioneering environmental or humanitarian causes or concocting plans to upend the status quo. Progress is the name of the game, and whether it’s through scientific research, tech development, artmaking, or activism, Aquarians use their intellectual prowess to explore and advocate for the limitless possibilities of all that could be.While all this brainy idealism can be a beautiful thing, Aquarians should take care to balance their head-in-the-clouds thinking with some grounding practices lest they completely float away. Their preference for the theoretical can also make them come across as distant and unfeeling in social interactions. While they know, deep down, that their passions are driven by a big, juicy heart, it wouldn’t hurt for them to land the spaceship and share it with their fellow earthlings once in a while. Planning intentional, quality time with loved ones can help divert their attention from UFOs to TLC and allow them to apply their broad humanitarian principles to close personal relationships.Our Aquarius cocktail takes the refreshing frozen margarita and turns it bright blue. Innovation at its most delicious!

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!
