Get your best goss ready, it’s Libra season.

Got a huge nugget of juicy gossip? Well now’s the time to share, babies, because we’re diving head first into Libra season. If we were to assign a character to this particular zodiac (because why not), they’re definitely giving off Gretchen Weiner vibes – “That’s why her hair is so big – it's full of secrets.” Apart from being a proud gossip, a Libra also values fancy shiny stuff, is a stickler for balance and strives for fairness (sort of). To get a more rounded picture of a classic Libra, you just have to look at some of the more famous Libras like Serena Williams or Cardi B or, perhaps the best example, Kim Kardashian. With this in mind, we’ve rounded up a few drinks that are sure to meet even the Libra-ist of Libras’ standards.

1. The brunch time icon

Every Libra knows that brunch is THE place to collect juicy goss. It’s kind of like church for the non-religious. Usually on a Sunday, a little dolled up, breaking bread and, of course, the reviewing of that week’s tea. So, it makes sense that a typical brunch drink would be a Libra go-to. And what’s the most iconic of the brunch cocktail family? The Mimosa. It’s the perfect accompaniment to your millennial avo on toasts. And best of all? It’s often made with Champagne (try the Nicolas Feuillatte Selection Brut out for size), which will make your boujee Libra friend swoon.

2. The balancing act

There’s a reason the symbol for Libra is a pair of scales. Yes, they are horrible gossips, but surprisingly they also really value fairness and balance (sounds like a bit of contradiction, no?). Take Kim Kardashian, for example. She is a notorious gossip, but she also believes in equity, hence her (somewhat brief) foray into law. This is probably why Libras make good lawyers in general. So, what do we give a Libra friend that enjoys balance? A drink that is well-balanced (duh). Rock up to your Libra friend’s house with the box set of Law and Order and a six-pack of the perfectly balanced sweet and sour Liberty Coast Peach and Passion seltzers and you’ll be in a Libra's good books forever.

3. Only the finest

Libra’s are the bowerbirds of the zodiac. They love picking up shiny things, taking them back to their nest and showing them off to their friends. They love fancy, classy stuff and have shockingly elegant taste. So, if you find yourself in a situation where, say, you’ve been invited to the opera and don’t have anything to wear, hit up your Libra friend. Not only will they have what you’re looking for, but they’ll throw in gloves, bracelets and a tiara to boot. Impressing someone with such great taste can be daunting, but don’t worry, that’s why we’re here. We reckon a nice bottle of TarraWarra Estate Reserve Pinot Noir will do the trick. It’s wonderfully complex, but light-bodied and full of fruit. If you want to go all out for your Libra friend, take them to TarraWarra Estate, where you can spend the day sipping wine and perusing their art gallery. Fancy shmancy stuff, folks.

4. A gin above the rest

We mentioned balance and fairness but we haven’t touched on a Libra’s strong sense of justice. It goes hand in hand with balance and fairness, but is much more Batman. Libras strive for justice above all else, which is a pretty admirable trait if you ask us. So if you want to make your Libra friend happy, opt for a sustainable drink. Our pick would be Warner’s Gin. Not only is it delicious, but it’s also doing super cool things for the planet, including using only 100% natural and responsibly sourced ingredients (such as fresh honey from their own hives) and participating in awesome initiatives like 1% for The Planet – plus they’re in the process of becoming B Corp certified. Libras will absolutely froth the taste of Warner’s Gin and love the fact that Warner’s are making solid efforts toward being sustainable.

5. One of everything

We love our Libra pals, but boy are they indecisive. They will sit in a restaurant and change what they’re ordering four times before the waitress has even left the table. It’s not necessarily a bad thing but it does make them tricky to buy for. So what do we get a Libra that has a hard time making decision? One of everything, specifically a GABS beer variety pack. It features the top 8 beers from the craft beer fest, so your Libra friend doesnt have to fret over any beer-related decisions.
