Here’s The Holiday Drink That Matches Your Zodiac Sign’s Vibe

With the holidays around the corner, go ahead and unleash your inner Mariah Carey and get into full celebration mode. This is your time to rewatch as many favorite festive films as possible, get a lot of use out of your ugliest sweaters, and opt for seasonal cocktails over your usual drink order.

Whether you prefer a sweet nightcap that makes you want to cuddle up by the fire or a hearty bev with a spicy cinnamon kick, each zodiac sign has a festive drink that matches their vibe to a T. Think cozy, warm drinks for earth signs, party-themed bevs for fire signs — you get the idea.

The next time you meet your besties for a happy hour or order a drink at a holiday office party, you might want to give your spiritually connected sip a try. Your sign’s best beverage doesn’t have to stop at just boozy drinks, though, because you can never go wrong with a cup of hot cocoa or a peppermint-flavored tea.

The next time you can’t decide between imbibing wine and whiskey or sipping on something that doubles as a treat, your zodiac sign can help point you in the right direction. To find out which holiday drink you should be spending the rest of the season with, keep reading.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Festive Jell-O Shot

A high-energy sign like Aries needs a drink just as fiery as they are, which is why a festive Jell-O shot is the perfect holiday drink for rams. This Mars-ruled sign is spontaneous and fun, just like the unorthodox holiday drink. Aries is also a bit competitive, which is why they’d love a concoction that reminds them of their college party days.

Imagine throwing a few of these back with your besties, and you’ll immediately see the vision. If you’re looking to include the funky drink in your party spread, try a strong Jell-O shot recipe with cranberry that’ll have your guests decking the halls in no time.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Mulled Wine

Taureans are major creatures of comfort. This Venus-ruled earth sign loves anything warm, cozy, and slightly luxurious, so mulled wine is the perfect choice. Not only does this drink make your whole house smell amazing — perfect for when you’re entertaining — but it also looks beautiful in a mug, especially when you add a few pretty details, like dried oranges and cinnamon sticks. It’s an easy way to serve up quiet luxury vibes.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Buttered Rum

Represented by the twins, Geminis have a reputation for having two sides. Buttered rum, with its spicy, warm alcoholic notes and sweet hints of cider, boasts a delicious taste that’s both sugary and strong — something that the air sign can relate to.

It’s also slightly unconventional, making it a fun order at the bar. As a chatty, Mercury-ruled sign, you love any excuse to get a conversation going, and ordering this unique drink will definitely give you something to talk about.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Hot Cocoa

As the biggest homebodies of the zodiac, Cancers are more likely to gravitate toward a warm cup of hot cocoa than something alcoholic, though anything chocolatey also tastes amazing with a shot of rum or amaretto.

As a Moon-ruled water sign, you’ll love how this drink warms you right up, especially if you sip it with friends, family, or a partner. It’s the perfect accompaniment for a cute stroll around town to see decorations and tree lightings, or while at home watching a classic holiday movie.

Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22)

Espresso Martini

Sun-ruled Leos are all about having a good time, and nothing gets the party started quite like an espresso martini. This drink is sexy, classy, and eye-catching — three words Leos love — and as a bonus, the zing of espresso also matches your fire sign energy.

Espresso martinis are a year-round treat, but they can be made extra special for the season with the addition of peppermint flavor or a crushed candy cane rim. Make sure you take plenty of pictures for your socials before trying a sip.

Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22)

Hot Toddy

As an earth sign, a Virgo will feel connected to a flavorful drink, but one that also serves a practical purpose by warming them up on a cold day. Order yours with bourbon, whisky, or rum and cozy into a booth at a dimly-lit bar, or make a batch at home to capture a festive vibe for a party — or a cozy night in.

Add earthy ingredients like apple cider, cinnamon sticks, cloves, rosemary, nutmeg, chamomile tea, star anise, or tea, and let its warm embrace soothe you ahead of the busy holidays. Hot toddies check off every box for the mutable, Venus-ruled sign.

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22)

Champagne

Libras are all about aesthetics, and if there’s one drink that’ll look good in every Instagram pic this season, it’s a glass of bubbly. Champagne is so classy, sophisticated, and attractive that it might as well be an honorary Libra.

It’s also the perfect way to be the center of attention, which is this Venus-ruled air sign’s specialty. You’ll enjoy popping the bottle and causing a scene as it all bubbles over, before giving a beautiful toast to your friends and fam.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 22)

White Russian

Mysterious Scorpios deserve a drink that matches their alluring personality, so the water sign pairs best with a sultry, creamy White Russian. This drink combines vodka, Kahlúa, and cream, and the way the ingredients mix in the glass is always a sight to behold.

It’s the ultimate cool-girl drink, which meshes well with this enigmatic, Pluto-ruled sign. As a Scorpio, you’d definitely be the type to casually impress everyone with your order before slipping away to enjoy it alone on the periphery of a party.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

Coquito

As a free-spirited, fun-loving fire sign, it’s only fitting that Sagittarius’ holiday bev of choice would be something more unique, like coquito. This is a traditional Puerto Rican holiday drink made with white rum, coconut cream, milk, and more — and it has the fire sign’s name all over it. This drink order matches the archer’s ability to try new things and stray from what’s basic, and your refined, worldly palate will also appreciate its complex flavors, like vanilla and cinnamon.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

Eggnog

As a pragmatic, Saturn-ruled earth sign, Capricorn will always opt for the most classic holiday drink choice: eggnog. Even if you aren’t in love with the flavor, you appreciate the tradition of having a sip every year and making everyone around you give it a try.

Eggnog gets a bad rap, but there’s also something about it that Capricorn’s genuinely enjoy. It’s spicy and sweet, and it can also have a kick if you add bourbon, rum, or brandy. Catch a Capricorn with this drink in their hand all season long.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

Grasshopper

Being the eccentric air sign of the zodiac, Aquarians will never pass up the opportunity to order the most unique cocktail concoctions they can find. Enter the Grasshopper, which is green with a refreshingly minty taste. It’s made using green creme de menthe, white creme de cacao, and heavy cream — and chances are your friends have never heard of it or seen it on a menu.

As a rule-breaking, Uranus-ruled sign, you appreciate the art of trying weird things to expand your horizons, and you’ll also enjoy explaining to everyone who passes by at the bar what on earth you’re drinking.

Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20)

Earl Grey Old Fashioned

Known for their dreamy, sensitive, and compassionate personalities, Pisces can appreciate the calming and grounding benefits of tea, especially when it’s an Earl Grey Old Fashioned. This drink combines a warming hint of bourbon, black tea, and a hint of citrus for the perfect holiday treat.

As a creative water sign, you’ll appreciate the poetry and romance that comes with ordering something so classy and cool, and even more the art of clinking your fancy glass against your friend’s or partner’s as you cheer to the holidays.
