Aries people are natural-born leaders, fearless and energetic, they constantly have to keep themselves busy. Socially, they are engaging and have strong magnetism that keeps them the center of attention. Aries often take on more than they can handle, which is why they should try this drink to help them relax:

MANHATTAN
2 oz whiskey
1/2 oz vermouth
splash of bitters (if you like)
serve over ice with a maraschino cherry

TAURUS

Taureans are practical people who pride themselves on being reliable and down-to-earth. They work hard to earn the finer things in life and enjoy being secure in love and finance. Patient and humble, they often keep their problems to themselves until its gone too far- in which case they become the angry bull! This cocktail combines Taurus’s love for lavish things with their stable temperament:

BELLINI
2 oz peach puree
4 oz sparkling wine
garnish with a peach slice

GEMINI

People of The Twins sign are intelligent and witty but can also be emotionally unstable and quite sensitive. They always try to gather as much information as possible to come to the most accurate conclusion about any subject. Sometimes Geminis can have trouble communicating love to their partners- which is where this little truth serum cocktail comes in:

LA PALOMA
2 oz tequila
1/2 oz lime juice
pinch of salt
splash of grapefruit soda

CANCER

Cancers like to stay home- like a crab in its shell. They feel everything very deeply and can easily become upset if their world is not exactly the way they like. Cancers are super devoted to their families and loved ones but must watch their moodiness, as they cannot control everyone’s behavior. This cocktail makes for a good mood for all you grumpy Cancers:

HAPPY APPLE
1 oz vodka
2 oz sour apple liqueur
1 oz apple juice

LEO

Leos are the most creative and ambitious of the zodiac signs. They thrive to be the center of attention and often fall into the traps of social media- wanting to be the most attractive, most successful, most fun. Leos should try this cocktail to bring a little self-introspection into their lives and consider what’s really important:

THE THINKING CAP
2 oz bourbon
splash of rootbeer
splash of orange bitters
garnish with an orange peel

VIRGO

Virgos love to stay practical and rational, even when things are falling apart. They are delicate and warm on the inside, though they may seem cold to others because of their rational demeanor. This cocktail will help even the most conservative Virgo open up and show the emotions they have inside:

CHALINO
3 oz tequila blanco
1/2 tbsp. creme de cassis
1/2 oz. lemon juice
1/2 oz. lime juice
1/2 tbsp. simple syrup

LIBRA

Libras are kind and warm with an innate ability to enjoy the little things. It is hard to rile up a Libra, as they are great at being diplomatic and hate conflict. They’d rather side with you and keep the piece than be right. To hone this peacekeeping skill, Libras should try this cocktail:

FRENCH CONNECTION
2 oz cognac
2 oz amaretto

SCORPIO

Scorpios are the volcanoes of the zodiac. While their personalities are huge and mostly wonderful, they can also be quite volatile and erupt at any moment over the smallest inconvenience. Scorpios are known for having keen intuition but can often veer towards jealousy if they’re not careful. To focus more on what they bring to the table, Scorpios can sip on this introspective cocktail:

JEAN HARLOW
2 oz light rum
2 oz sweet vermouth
garnish with a lemon peel

SAGITARIUS

Sagittarius people are restless and love to travel and explore. They are constantly searching for new experiences and dimensions of thought. This cocktail might help them be a little less self-critical and lean more into their curious tendencies:

YAKA HULA HICKEY DULA
1 1/2 oz dark rum
1 1/2 oz dry vermouth
1 1/2 oz pineapple juice

CAPRICORN

Capricorns love structure in their lives. They are natural goal setters who do well under pressure and love living their lives by specific guidelines. They often need to learn to let go a little and to realize that not everything is under their control- and that’s ok. Here’s a mixed drink for Capricorn people who want to get a little more accomplished today:

BLACK RUSSIAN
2 oz vodka
2 oz coffee liqueur
splash of cola
serve with a cherry

AQUARIUS

Aquarians have high expectations of people. They have strong, dominant personalities and constantly seek alone time while they sift through their own thoughts. They are the “forgive but not forget” sign and once you wrong an Aquarius, you’ll always have a bit of the cold shoulder from them. This cocktail is good to sip alone for Aquariuses trying to be a bit more tolerant:

WHITE WINE SPRITZER
3 oz chilled white wine
1 oz club soda
garnish with an orange peel

PISCES

Pisces people are gentle, nurturing and emotionally sensitive to the needs of others. They like to meander through life with a smile and try to avoid conflict if they can. Because of their “just keep swimming” mindset, they sometimes expect problems to work themselves out than actively try and solve them. This is a drink perfect for Pisces people trying to get their act together:

DARK AND STORMY
2 oz dark rum
1 oz tequila
splash of ginger beer
2 oz freshly brewed espresso

Step 1: Chill the bottle

The bottle needs to be cooler than you would normally keep a sparkling wine. You can submerge it in a lot of ice, but I usually just stick it in the freezer for half an hour or so. It should be long enough to be very cold but not frozen.

Step 2: Find a good spot

The entire top of the bottle is about to shoot off so make sure you are not performing this directly facing anyone. It will come off with some force so be careful of anything fragile – you’ll lose a lot of the effect if you saber the bottle and break an expensive piece of artwork. Outdoor space is perfect as it will give the cork space to fly, but don’t do it out of a high window or the people below could get a nasty surprise.

Step 3: Gather a crowd

What’s the point of sabering if you don’t have a good crowd to wow?

Step 4: Pick a good saber (or knife)

The key here is to find something you can control well, it does not need to be heavy. You’re not cutting or hacking at the bottle, some people can do it with a small hit from the end of a wine glass. I recommend starting with chef’s knife.

Step 5: Remove the foil and wire from the top

Take all the foil off the top of the bottle and remove the wire basket so your saber and the cork are unimpeded.

Step 6: Find the larger seam of the bottle

Run your fingers around the bottle and you’ll feel a horizontal seam on either side of the bottle. Feel for the thicker of the two seams and place that facing up.

Step 7: Hold the bottle at a 20 degree angle

The key to this is in the angle of the bottle and your saber. If you have it at the correct angle you won’t need much pressure at all to achieve the perfect beheading.

Step 6: Behead the bottle

This is the final step, slide your saber of choice parallel to the bottle along the seam, up the neck and in a smooth motion tap the collar (the top ridge). Follow through with the saber in one gesture. Be sure not to try to cut the top off the bottle. If you chip the glass at all your angle is wrong and you are using too much force. Back off, adjust your angle and try again more softly.

ENJOY!

 Follow these instructions and (after a few practice runs) you’ll be sabering at every occasion.
