Are you an ambitious Capricorn facing down Mercury in retrograde? A temperamental Aries looking to soothe a short fuse? An optimistic Gemini celebrating a fresh start with the New Moon? Theres a drink for thatand its determined by your astrological sign.

Youve probably checked out your horoscope to learn more about your love life, career prospects, and financial outlook. Well, the same convention works for cocktails too. Each astrological sign has unique drink favorites based on its personality traits, ranging from the aesthetic appeal to the flavors, and even the origins of the drink itself. By tapping into the tastes and traits of your zodiac sign, you can reveal the perfect cocktail for you.

The Mixology of Astrology is divided into thirteen sections and more than 175 carefully chosen recipes. In the first section, youll learn about the basics of astrology and mixology, beginning with the history of the zodiac. Youll then explore the ins and outs of mixing a drink, from what bartending essentials you should always have on hand, to the best drinkware for every cocktail.

Each of the remaining twelve sections is devoted entirely to one astrological sign, where youll find everything from the signs personality quirks, to a variety of cocktail recipes that align with the distinct preferences of that sign. Are you a nonconformist Aquarius, searching for a signature drink that no one else will be sipping? Try a Cousin Vitamine. Are you a stylish Libra, in need of an eye-catching cocktail to pair with your ensemble? Look no further than the vibrant Appletini. And when your friends wonder how you always know their perfect drink, you can just tell them it was written in the stars...

So go ahead and pop the bubbly: may you discover new and existing dimensions of your sign through the adventure, creativity, and imagination of a fabulous cocktail!

Not an astrology guru? No idea what a muddler is? No worries! In this section, you will learn everything you need to know for understanding your sign and shaking a flawless martini. First, you will dive into the fascinating history of astrology and the twelve zodiac signs. Then, you will discover the different layers of your sign, from elements to quadruplicities (dont let the word scare youits less complicated than it seems!).

After youve got the astrology down, youll explore the world of mixing drinks. From handy tools and drinkware to what exactly a twist is, youll learn all of the basics for creating a perfect cocktail right at home. Ready, set, mix!

People have contemplated the stars for thousands of years. The Babylonians tracked the positions of celestial bodies such as the sun, and eventually divided the sky into twelve equal sectionsthe zodiacwith each area named after the main constellation that it contained. Ancient cultures later observed that when a planet passed through a section, there was a correlation between events on earth: babies born during that placement shared similar characteristics, and certain events were more likely to occur. These ideas were then adopted around 4 B.C.E. by the Greeks, who incorporated their mythology into the zodiac, laying the foundation for the horoscopic astrology used today. Though there are many working parts to modern astrology, the key to unlocking the unique traits of your sign is the sun.
