Mixstrology: Cocktails for Each Sign of the Zodiac

April 26, 2014

Who needs horoscopes when you can have a monthly cocktail prescription? As part of our Mixstrology series, astrologer/bartender Patricia Clark Hippolyte created twelve cocktails, each uniquely suited to a sign of the zodiac. From an over-the-top, dessert-like drink made for Taurus to a tequila and ginger libation especially for Sagittarians, we have one perfect cocktail for every sign—plus variations on each drink no matter where your birthday falls.
