Your New Years’ Eve Cocktail, Based on Your Zodiac Sign

　　

Aries: Moscow Mule

Aries is a Fire sign which means anyone who falls under this sign is active, dynamic, and bursting full of energy. An Aries will do everything with gusto, and to the absolute best of their ability. Aries would love a drink that matches their feisty energy levels.

　　Why not mix them a Moscow Mule? It’s bracing, refreshing, and with a bit of a kick to appeal to the Aries in your life.

Taureans are loyal, dependable, and don’t do anything in a hurry. They love the finer things in life and enjoy that bit of luxury when they can.

Leos are known for their sociability and charm. They’re generous, gregarious, and charming, even if they do get a touch egotistical now and again.

Librans are Air signs and quite peaceful as they keep things balanced and harmonious. This same energy applies to their New Year’s cocktail, too. Look for a mix of sweet and sour to bring out intrigue and delight in the drink.

　　A cocktail like a Whiskey Sour or Tom Collins could be a great choice. We recommend a Green Ghost. It’s a little sweet, a little spicy, and the color! It’s nearly perfect.
