Mysterious, unique, and sophisticated are all qualities often associated with Aquarians, and this cocktail fits the bill (I mean, just read this description of the drink). From the unique pairing of flavors + the design on top, this isnât your average cocktail.
For the creative and imaginative Pisces, this fun cocktail made with gin, St. Germain, blood orange vermouth + topped with bubbles is the perfect drink.
Aries can be fiery, energetic, and the life of the party. For this sign, we recommend trying this cocktail made with Gate 11 gin + packed full of other flavors.
