ABOUT Are you a huge astrology fan like I am? If so, then check out my Mixology + Astrology series. In this series, I paired a custom cocktail with each of the 12 zodiac signs. Most lists like this one are pretty boring — especially when it comes down to the creativity of the cocktails. With this series, I thought long and hard on pairing unique flavors with the characteristics of each sign. Let me know which drink is your favorite ..read more

Ruling House: Twelfth Ruling Planet: Neptune Symbol: The Fish Dates: February 19 - March 20 Element: Water ABOUT As the empaths of the zodiac, Pisces “feel” their way through the world. Dreamy, intuitive, and at times dramatic, almost everything is a sign to them. WIth big hearts, and even larger imaginations, they can often get lost in their own heads. The last sign in the constellation, Pisces are said to absorb every lesson learned by the signs ahead of them. Ruled by Neptune, the planet of creativity, mysticism, and escape, Pisces are literal physics. Guided by their gut, they have an inn ..read more

ABOUT Coffee and whiskey are two of my favorite things. But I didn’t always like them together. Or I didn't until I created my Café Amore cocktail. I created this cocktail last year as part of my Valentine’s Day Cocktail Grams. While I won’t be offering them this year, I wanted to share this recipe so that you can create this cocktail right at home. What I love most about this drink is that it’s perfect to sip on during brunch or even as a nightcap. While most espresso martinis are either too spirit forward or full of artificial sweeteners, my Café Amore is perfectly balanced and full of compl ..read more

ABOUT Looking to spice up your margarita game? Made with tequila, a peppercorn simple syrup, and fresh grapefruit and lime juices, this spicy grapefruit margarita is the perfect drink to sip on all year long. The base spirit for this drink is none other than tequila. Any style of tequila will do. I made this drink with both a blanco and a reposado and both versions were delicious. While most margaritas are made with an orange liqueur — a base spirit, sugar, and orange flavoring — I opted not to include it to cut back on the amount of alcohol used. Plus, this drink already includes fresh grapef ..read more

Made with chai tea and your dairy of choice, this is the easiest — and most delicious — chai hot chocolate recipe around. Masala chai, which translates to “spiced tea,” is an Indian beverage typically made with black tea, milk, sugar, and a combination of various herbs and spices. These spices include: cinnamon, black pepper, cardamom, nutmeg, cloves, star anise, and ginger. While I love making my recipes from scratch, sometimes certain ingredients are ..read more

Ruling House: Tenth Ruling Planet: Saturn Symbol: The Sea Goat Dates: December 22 - January 19 Element: Earth ABOUT With their standards high and their goals even higher, Capricorns are the workaholics of the zodiac. Possessing extreme determination and high inner fortitude, it’s nearly impossible to out-hustle them. The last earth sign in the constellation, Capricorns are extremely grounded.

Ruling House: Eigth Ruling Planet: Pluto Symbol: The Scorpion Dates: October 23 - November 22 Element: Water ABOUT Intense, psychic, and extremely calculating, Scorpios are not everyone’s cup of tea. And they're perfectly content with that. They’re difficult to get to know. They love being in control and will get to the truth no matter what. For Scorpios, life is a game of chess, not checkers and they’re already a few steps ahead of you. Just the way they like it. Despite all of the negative things you’ve heard about them, Scorpios are extremely compassionate, loyal, and very much self-aware ..read more

Ruling House: Seventh Ruling Planet: Venus Symbol: The Scales Dates: September 23 - October 22 Element: Air ABOUT Represented by the scales of justice, Libras are the balance-seekers of the zodiac. Constantly striving for harmony and symmetry in their lives, they can at times be obsessed with it. With a deep rooted desire for fairness, Libras don’t mind shaking the table if it means standing up for someone in need. Ruled by Venus, the planet of pleasure, partnerships and love, Libras deeply value relationships — both romantic and platonic. The polar opposite of Aries, Libras are people center ..read more

Ruling House: Sixth Ruling Planet: Mercury Symbol: The Virgin Dates: August 23 - September 22 Element: Earth ABOUT The perfectionists of the zodiac, Virgos know exactly what they want and how they want it. Better yet, they’d rather do it themselves. Constantly seeking out problems to solve, they are happiest when they are in service to others. Although they can often be extremely critical — especially of themselves — Virgos are kind and supportive friends. They think before they act and they will always take your emotions into consideration. Rarely motivated by self-interest, Virgos constantl ..read more
