What Your Summertime Go-To Drink Is Based on Your Zodiac Sign

Summer is definitely in full swing, with beautiful sunny days, lots of activities, and hanging out with friends.

Maybe you’re tired of ordering your typical blah drink that you always order when you’re out and about or you just need to switch it up. Either way, your zodiac sign has a thing or two to tell you…

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Order yourself a Strawberry Basil Mojito.

You’re bold, energetic, and adventurous. It’s complimentary flavors are a refreshing thirst quencher while showing off your eagerness to try something new and fun. The next time you’re rocking up to that cute bartender, try this one out.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) 

Ask for a Blackberry Sangria.

You’re practical, reliable, and patient. You appreciate the time it takes to make a good drink. While you’re not crazy about straying away from your normal drink, a sangria has never let you down and who doesn’t love a juicy, delicious blackberry?

Gemini (May 21-June 21) 

Order a Lavender Lemon Drop Martini.

Cuba Libre is calling your name. 

You’re emotional, cautious, and protective. Change is not your strong suit, but you’ll try something new, just not too different from your normal drink. This classic drink sounds exotic, but is just a twist on the popular rum and coke so you’re not going completely wild.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

The Paloma is so you.

What Your Alcoholic Beverage Of Choice Says About You

Every time you head out to the bar with your friends and order a drink, you’re making a decision not only about the type of beverage you’d like to drink but about the type of person you really are. We all value different tastes, effects, and eventual outcomes when we imbibe, and the alcohol you prefer is essentially a metaphorical representation of your personality.

We all love our alcoholic agency, and making the decision to drink is second only to deciding what to drink. Our forefathers fought for our right to choose, and what better way to honor their sacrifice than to get drunk on freedom? That’s clearly what America is really about.

Red Wine

You’re a little snobbish, or you have an ethnically influenced investment in drinking wine with every meal. You probably haven’t actually gotten drunk off your beverage of choice in several decades.

Mainstream Beer

You’re a broke college student, a middle-aged man, or a high school student trying beer for the first time.

Scotch

You’re incredibly suave, and miles above the rest of us in class, taste, and tolerance. But unlike whiskey drinkers, you probably aren’t aware of how cool you really are.

Gin

You enjoy Gatsby-themed costume parties and the subtle taste of Christmas trees. Oh, and you consider yourself a higher class of human than all those vodka-loving lightweights who can’t handle a real martini.

Craft/Microbrewed Beer

You like the way the frothy carbonation collects in your ironic mustache, or you’re on a beer-tolerant health kick. Tons of brand-name beers actually contain high fructose corn syrup, but most craft breweries leave this out. You are well of this important distinction.

Champagne

You’re super fancy, or you’re just a huge fan of bubbles (like that fish from Finding Nemo).

Tequila

You’re trying to put as much distance between your sober self and drunken self as humanly possible. Seriously, why does tequila always equal a personality transplant? Absolutely no one makes good decisions drunk on tequila.

Vodka

You’ve deluded yourself into believing that vodka is a calorie-free alternative to beer (it isn’t).

White Wine

If you’re pairing it with your dinner, then you’re probably either super classy or at a wine tasting festival. If you’re enjoying it with ice cubes and a box of tissues, then you’re a middle-aged suburban mom watching a romantic comedy.

Rum

You value freedom, anarchy, and a healthy tolerance for coconut-flavored drinks. Or you’re in denial that the summer doesn’t actually last all year. Alternatively, you’re on a resort vacation somewhere in the tropics and there are no Rum-free options available.

Whiskey

If it isn’t St. Patrick’s Day, well…you’re just that hardcore.

Sugary Cocktails

You’re out for your 21st birthday enjoying your fishbowl, or you’re too scared to try hard liquor without something sweet to mask the taste.

Malt Liquor

…in a brown paper bag. I think this one speaks for itself.

Absinthe

You’re a big Ernest Hemingway fan, but unfortunately, big game hunting isn’t really an option and you aren’t much of a writer. To honor your favorite author, you’ve decided to imbibe a gentlemanly beverage, and no, you won’t be batting an eyelash when they inevitably pump your stomach. Grace under pressure, after all.
