We’ve found your most compatible drink, according to your star sign.

We’re all looking for our favourite drink this festive season. It should be something that really speaks to you and visually aligns with your personality. It’s the end of the year and you’re exhausted from life-ing so hard, so why not leave it to the stars (and your birthchart) to discover your next go-to sip? Even better, we’ve done it all for you.

Ahead, we have your star sign as a festive drink because astrology and mixology is a match for the heavens.

A bottle of Don Juan Escobar Mezcal

Aries: A smoky-sweet cocktail

Only an impulsive Aries (March 21–April 19) would declare the drink of the season to be something that requires overnight setting. You just know that when everyone tries your Mezcalita Trifle, a concoction of lime jelly and Mezcal-laced red slushie, they’ll have to agree that you’re right; they slay. The Mezcal base is very on brand – adventurous and fiery, with Don Juan Escobar Mezcal, of course – as will how smug you’ll feel about serving up such a cracking cocktail.
$88.99 each

Taurus: A comforting whisky

A Taurus (April 20–May 20) wants to do what a Taurus wants to do. And most likely, what a Taurus wants to do at this time of year is stay home, in the company of the few people they can tolerate, rewatch their favourite holiday film (for the bajillionth time) and drink a really good Scotch. Dalwhinnie 15 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is that really good Scotch: smoky, floral and with just the right amount of malt. The reviews describe it as a good summer whisky (not too heavy) and while you’re no doubt pumping the aircon to get your cosy vibes right, you’ll appreciate the purity of this uisge beatha, or ‘water of life’.

Gemini: A very cherry Spritz

As the social butterfly of the zodiac, the Cherry Christmas Spritz is the sweet and bubbly aperitif with your name all over it, Gemini (May 21–June 21). The perfect addition to your long ladies lunch (Chixmas, if you will) and velvet bow decor scheme. While it takes a bit more effort, the juice is well worth the squeeze. With its base of Lambrusco and gin (try it with Four Pillars), these cherry-flavoured sips will be the talk of the group chat for weeks after. You’ll still want to make them even when the festive season ends and your Martha Stewart era goes with it. What’s a Gemini without a switch flip? 

Cancer: A hazy lager (in a cute can)

There would be no greater gift for a Cancer (June 22–July 22) than to be universally loved. Their delicate sensibility is buoyed by compliments, well wishes and fondness. Therefore, there’s no better move than to pair up with a crowd-pleasing sip. The refreshing, crisp and clean Little Creatures Little Hazy Lager might as well be the darling of the cool room; a perfect companion. They’re so good that at least one will get nicked from the fridge, but Cancer, while feeling deeply betrayed, will actually relish a chance to wallow in self-pity and play the martyr.

Leo: A proud punch

Fresh, fizzy and moreish. No, Leo (July 23–August 22), we’re not talking about you, but you do bear some similarities to the Pavlova Punch. You’ve both been described as the “highlight” of a party – you’re both beautiful to look at (obviously), and you’re both, famously, generous (this serves six). When you make the Pavlova Punch, it will no doubt have the most delicious farmer’s market fruit, expertly cut and mixed, and, of course, you’ll make it with The Duppy Share White Caribbean Spirit. We’d expect nothing less.
$66.99 each

Virgo: A pristine riesling

Any person should think themselves tremendously lucky to have a Virgo (August 23–September 22) to dine with, travel with, drink with… No one but a Virgo could be so meticulous in selecting the best food, location, guest list or bottle of wine. Frankland Estate Riesling is the stuff of Virgo approval: dry, light and holding a hum of complexity that will develop over time. It’s from an independent Australian winery (Virgos are thoughtful) and also very well priced (Virgos are practical). Pour yourself a glass Virgo, you’ve done good.
$31.99 each
The Frankland Estate Riesling is from Great Southern, WA

The Sazerac Rye 6 Year Old Straight Whiskey

Libra: An artist’s cocktail

With an artistic sensibility that attracts balance and grace, Libra (September 23–October 23) really does want everyone to get along, especially at Christmas time. The Sazerac cocktail is where the scales level: pure, impactful, bold and beautiful. As if the aesthetic and taste wasn’t enough, the Sazerac even has a romantic back story, concocted by a 19th-century pharmacist who relocated to New Orleans. In 2008, Sazerac became the city’s official cocktail. What are you using for this one? The Sazerac Rye 6 Year Old Straight Whiskey, of course.
$100.99 each

Scorpio: A spicy Marg

The intensity of the Scorpio (October 24–November 21) isn’t for everyone, but their magnetism is hard to refuse. The Spicy Mango Margarita (we love it with Pantalones Tequila Blanco) is essentially Scorpio in a glass. It has known, comforting qualities, but there’s a wild hot streak – in this case, Tabasco. Batch-made in the blender – because why make one when you can serve three friends at once? – this is a party drink that will refresh, awaken the senses and maybe even give you a good chilli kick. What’s life without a little zing?
$112.99 each

Sagittarius: An alcoholic pear in a bottle

There is an enviable optimism to Sagittarius (November 22–December 21). Adventurous, present and forever big-picture thinking. They’re not one to overthink or overcomplicate the small stuff: who wants to waste time mixing their own drinks when you can buy them ready-made? Refreshing and crisp, Somersby Pear Cider is essentially an alcoholic pear in a bottle. They are also travel-friendly and any Sagittarius worth their glass-half-full outlook is always on the verge of a spontaneous trip.

Capricorn: A top-tier brut

Capricorn (December 22–January 19) is a mover and shaker who values consistency and drive in themselves and their purchases. This is why Penfolds Champagne Curvee Brut is their go-to: reliable, delicious and appropriate for all occasions. Buy a case of this Champagne – a collaboration between Penfolds and Champagne Thiénot – and you’ll be set for the holiday calendar and emergency gifts. Now, that’s the kind of efficiency a Capricorn can really get behind.

Aquarius: A fresh (and refreshing) mix

Always forging their own path and listening to their intuition, and always the ‘little freak’ with a tender heart. That’s Aquarius (January 20–February 18). They have their own Christmas rituals, but reinvention and experimentation is always part of it. Drop Coconut Water & Vodka ticks all the Aquarius boxes: a reinterpretation of freshness, clashing flavours and an eco-friendly can. The perfect antidote to any stiff annual events they have to endure before the year is through.

Pisces: A very pretty rosé

La Belle Époque was the time for dreamy, compassionate Pisces (February 19–March 20). It was all about peace, prosperity and joie de vivre. Nothing could appeal to a Pisces more. They don’t just want to be happy, they want everyone else to be happy, too. Why is this relevant? Because the art of the Belle Epoque is emblazoned on La Boheme Act Two Dry Rosé, endearing it very much for Pisces on an almost past-life level. Then it’s light, dry, crisp and creamy – the stuff of true love.
