Sip your tea and thank the stars.
By Madison Kerth — Written on Jun 24, 2019
Have you ever done something that felt so completely natural and couldn’t come up with an explanation?
Our signs are written in the stars and explain our major personality traits, likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. But they can also lead the way to understand some of our less prominent traits… like our favorite drinks!
How many times have you walked up to the bar and ordered “the usual.” Your friends do not even have to ask, “What are you drinking tonight?” to keep you satisfied.
We have our go-to favorites at every place, maybe something exotic to try here and there, but when you are out with friends and pop into a spot you’ve never been before, you order your favorite.
Sure, your favorite drink may come attached with a memory of a night with your best friends that turned into morning, or the person that bought it for you and turned into a forever.
We love to make memories over a couple of drinks with the ones we love.
And often those memories move on to become something greater. But what about the rest of us? What about your vodka sidecar or your mango raspberry mojito makes it your drink? Maybe it is as simple as your sign.
If you are more timid and introspective, like an Aquarius, are you more likely to sip on rosé or margaritas? If you are more prone to feeling lonely, like a Libra, do you gravitate towards beer or shots… or both!
Never fear! There is no need to dig too deep into your drinking habits to find the answers.
The stars aligned when you were born to create the perfect comic cocktail! Grab some ice and take it shaken, not stirred. Muddle up some limes and sit back for the reading of the century.
