CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
Mon Ami Gabi – Las Vegas: Pumpkin Espresso Martini
Cancers are highly sensitive to their environment and like what’s familiar, and Mon Ami Gabi is a Las Vegas staple perfect for enjoying the Vegas experience while refueling. Take the edge off your travels with the Pumpkin Espresso Martini and soak in the views of the Bellagio Fountains. Vanilla vodka, pumpkin liqueur, pumpkin syrup and espresso make this cocktail slightly unexpected yet autumn-ly familiar.

LEO (July 23 – August 22)
The Bamboo Room at Three Dots and A Dash: Stirred Jet Pilot
J.Lo, Mick Jagger, Kylie Jenner – if you’re a Leo, you’re definitely not the shyest sign on the block. The drink that suits your vibe is the Stirred Jet Pilot at The Bamboo Room at Three Dots and a Dash. With Chairman’s Reserve Forgotten Cask Single Blended Saint Lucia Rum, Appleton 8 Year Single Blended Jamaican Rum, clarified grapefruit, cinnamon, clove and ginger, this drink is a *tad* extra, but we’ll stick to the Leo motto: more is more, less is a bore.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
Aba – Austin & Ema: Harvest G&T
A new twist on a classic is always a good move for a pragmatic Virgo. You’d rather avoid the drink that comes out to the table with edible glitter or an impractical smokeshow. Order the Harvest G&T at Aba – Austin or Ema in Chicago. Your natural attention to detail will love the hints of sweet seasonal pear and fig complimented by the refreshing twist from Las Californias Citrico Gin.

This drink – like you – has its secrets. For one, the ingredients are a mystery (don’t ask what’s in the secret shooter recipe – just trust, it’s worth it). And bonus – you get a fresh shucked oyster along with it. Talk about a conversation starter.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
Big Bowl: Cranberry Orange Sangria

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
Eiffel Tower Restaurant: Eiffel Affair
Capricorns are the most ambitious sign of the bunch, and also one of the most romantic. We set a pretty high standard at Eiffel Tower Restaurant, which is why it’s the perfect go-to for the goal-oriented Capricorn. Look out on the best view of Las Vegas and sip on the Eiffel Affair. The Eiffel mixologists start off this drink with Fresh Berries in a combination of Blueberry Vodka, Crème de Cassis, Cointreau and Rose Nectar. When it has macerated for at least 24 hours, they top it off with champagne right before serving.

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
Osteria Via Stato: Blood Orange Mule
They say every Aquarian is a non-conformist, and that might have to do with your forward-thinking nature. Quite frankly, you’re over the pumpkin spice craze, and have been since 2013. You’d love the Blood Orange Mule at Osteria Via Stato. With basic premium vodka, fresh blood orange puree, lime and burlesque bitters, it’s not the most conventional fall cocktail, but it’ll warm up your spirits and maybe even inspire your next globe-trotting adventure.

PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
Beatrix: Ciderhouse Old Fashioned
Astrologers always mention the emotional characteristics of a Pisces – but your empathetic nature also means you tend to be the sounding board for all of your friends’ troubles, too. Next time you or your besties need to vent, go for the drink that feels like a warm hug. Ponder the mysteries of life over a Ciderhouse Old Fashioned at Beatrix: a twist on an Old Fashioned with Uncle Nearest Whiskey, cardamaro, apple, pear, maple, and spices.
