The Best Margarita Flavor for Each Zodiac Sign
Aries: Spicy Turmeric Margarita
Ready to get the party started, Aries? You’re an adventurous risk-taker who loves to try new things. You crave anything hot and spicy with a dash of sweetness when it comes to food. The perfect margarita flavor for you will have all your favorite classic tastes… with a twist! That’s why a spicy turmeric margarita is the ideal drink to match your bold and fiery energy. “With Aries being ruled by the fiery planet Mars, having a little heat in their margarita could give just the right kick that a fire sign like Aries tends to love,” says Tejeda. Add a splash of orange juice to cool things off, or garnish with spicy salt for even more heat.
Taurus: Lavender Honey Margarita
It's time to indulge, Taurus. You're a lover of the finer things in life, which means you have your favorites when it comes to food and drinks. While it can be hard to get you to venture outside your comfort zone, you're not so stubborn that you'd turn down the chance to try something new and intriguing. So, why not give a new flavor margarita a try? "Ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, Taurus tends to enjoy things that are a treat for the senses: that's what makes a lavender margarita a great fit for this earth sign," says Tejeda. We also recommend adding honey and sugar to the rim for extra sweetness.
Gemini: Key Lime Beergarita
Ready for a twist, Gemini? You're someone who loves to try new things and mix things up for a fresh result. Geminis are famous for being charming and chatty, so you need a margarita flavor that matches your bright, bubbly aura. That's why we think a Key Lime Beergarita will be perfect for you. "With Gemini being a sign that loves contrasting flavors and bold new experiences, a Key Lime Beergarita is perfect for this air sign to enjoy amongst friends," says Tejeda. To make a Key Lime Beergarita, combine tequila, beer, fresh key lime juice, and agave syrup in a pitcher, stir well, and serve over ice in salt-rimmed glasses. Top it off with a drizzle of agave for added sweetness, shake, and enjoy!
Cancer: Watermelon Cucumber Margarita
Cancer might be the homebody of the zodiac, but nobody knows how to celebrate summertime like you do. You love soaking up the sun and snacking on delicious foods while doing it. "Cancer is the zodiac sign that kicks off summer, so what better way for this water sign to enjoy summer than with a watermelon margarita," says Tejeda. Add a few slices of cucumber if you want to cool off, or bits of chopped jalape?o for some added punch. This drink is perfect for sipping while enjoying good food and quality time with loved ones at your next summer BBQ.

Virgo: Classic Agave Margarita
Some like it hot, but you prefer to keep things classic. Nothing gets past your keen eye for details; if something doesn't measure up to your standards, you're not afraid to say so. Virgo tends to be a perfectionist who works around the clock, so this delicious cocktail can be a reminder to make time for rest and relaxation.

Strawberry is also the fruit that corresponds to Libra, making it a dreamy pick," Tejeda says. This margarita can be enjoyed frozen or on the rocks. Add a splash of soda water to top off your margarita for an added burst of fizz.

Let's heat things up a little, Scorpio. You're known for being assertive and outspoken about your preferences—you like what you like, and you're not making any apologies.

Pisces are very creative and artistic at heart. You're drawn to anything colorful, unusual, funky, or fun—crazy flavor combos are your absolute favorite. You need a margarita flavor that matches your whimsy and charm while still tasting great. "Pisces is all about imagination and wonder, and drinking a colorful ocean-blue mermaid margarita is a great reminder to believe in magic," says Tejeda. A mermaid margarita is easy to make: combine tequila, triple sec, blue cura?ao, lime juice, and honey, then blend before serving. For our sober friends, you can swap the blue cura?ao for blueberry-infused simple syrup to get that dreamy blue color without the alcohol.
