You’re an emotional person and sometimes known for changing moods in an instant. Let go of worrying about how you’re supposed to feel and embrace all the ~feelings~ when you finish off that last sip of straight tequila that fell to the bottom of the glass.

You’re the purist of the Zodiac, so gin, vermouth and olives it is. You may come off as passive, perhaps drinking this classic just because it looks cool, but everyone knows if you sip on a martini, you mean business. Stay classy, Virgo.

You’re the queen or king at dissolving awkward situations and a Cosmo can only help. Find that balance your sign craves with this fruity, but definitely alcoholic choice.
