Zodiac, but make it top-shelf: your signature wedding cocktail

From signature scents to custom vows and first-dance songs, everything at your wedding says something about you… so why not your drink of choice? 

Enter: your zodiac cocktail chart.

Hear us out. Your star sign isn’t just a personality trait; it’s an energy, a presence, and in this case, the ultimate inspiration for your wedding signature cocktail. And looking to the stars makes perfect sense as a starting point for choosing a signature cocktail that feels like you. Whether you’re bold and fiery or romantic and soft, there’s a sip that matches your cosmic vibe.

Whether you’re picking one drink for your entire reception or crafting a curated bar menu for guests, we’ve matched signature cocktails to every star sign, capturing their personality and wedding-day energy.

Raise your glass to the one thing more iconic than your outfit, and let’s see how each sign sips in style.

Aries: Spicy Margarita

Fiery. Loud. Impossible to ignore.

Aries wants heat, action, and something with bite. The spicy margarita – tequila, lime, chilli, and salt – is the drink equivalent of making an entrance in a power suit. It’s bold, punchy, and not here for a subtle slow dance. Aries couples are most likely to walk down the aisle to a remix, serve spicy margs at cocktail hour, and be the first ones on the dance floor.

Taurus : Espresso Martini

Luxurious. Grounded. Knows its worth.

Taurus craves comfort and indulgence, and the espresso martini delivers both. It’s smooth, sophisticated, and keeps the energy going long after the last course. Expect this sign to have velvet lounges, a grazing table that belongs on Pinterest, and late-night espresso martinis handed out with mini cannoli. Taurus doesn’t rush love… or their choice in signature cocktails.

Gemini: French 75

Effervescent. Witty. Always one step ahead.

Gemini loves a little drama, a little sparkle, and a lot of personality. The French 75 (gin, lemon, and champagne) is bubbly with a bite. Geminis are the most likely to write their own vows, change outfits between ceremony and reception, and request roaming photographers to capture their every angle. Their signature cocktail? Served in vintage coupes, garnished with zest and charisma.

Cancer: Champagne Cocktail

Romantic. Sentimental. Soft, but never simple.

Cancer weddings are full of heart: emotional speeches, nostalgic playlists, and signature cocktails that mean something. The champagne cocktail (bubbly over a bitters-soaked sugar cube) feels timeless, heartfelt, and worthy of a romantic toast. Expect a candlelit reception, handwritten love notes, and a moment that makes everyone cry… including the bartender.

Leo: Manhattan

Commanding. Iconic. Made to be seen.

Leo doesn’t do low-key weddings. This is the couple who wants gold cutlery, a spotlight for the first dance, and signature drinks named after them. The Manhattan (rye, vermouth, and a cherry on top) is a performance in a glass. Served up during cocktail hour or passed around during speeches, it’s confident, classic, and totally unforgettable.

Virgo: Negroni

Exacting. Balanced. No room for error.

Virgos are meticulous planners, right down to the drinks list. The Negroni, with its equal parts gin, Campari, and vermouth, is a precision cocktail made for the sign who had their run sheet finalised a year out. It’s served with minimal garnish, perfect lighting, and glassware chosen two tastings ago. Low fuss, high impact… just how Virgo likes it.

Libra: Cosmopolitan

Charming. Symmetrical. A little bit extra.

Libra is the host who cares deeply about your guest experience… and their Instagram grid. The Cosmopolitan (vodka, cranberry, triple sec, lime) is pretty, polished, and will likely fit right in with a blush-toned bridesmaid dress palette. Expect mirrored signage, soft florals, and a signature drink that photographs beautifully from every angle. Tasteful, stylish, and never without a straw.

Scorpio: Amaretto Sour

Dark. Sweet. Dangerous in the right light.

Scorpio’s wedding is a candlelit mood board of sexy florals, emotional vows, and a playlist that makes you feel things. The Amaretto Sour (almond liqueur, citrus, and a foamy top) is their signature cocktail of choice: complex, seductive, and impossible to forget. It’s the kind of drink you toast with under candlelight… then taste again in a kiss on the way out.

Sagittarius: Mojito

Free-spirited. Bright. Hard to pin down.

Sagittarius brings destination-wedding energy wherever they go – even if the venue is local. The mojito (rum, lime, mint, soda) is fresh, laid-back, and ready to party. Their signature drink is most likely to be passed around on trays during cocktail hour in the garden, paired with salsa music and barefoot dancing. No rules, just vibes.

Capricorn: Old Fashioned

Timeless. Grounded. Knows the rules (and when to break them).

Capricorn weddings are sleek, elegant, and always on schedule. The Old Fashioned (bourbon, bitters, sugar, orange peel) is a no-fuss classic signature cocktail, served with purpose. Expect this drink to hit the bar post-entrée and be sipped slowly during meaningful conversations and strategic networking (aka seating chart mastery). Efficiency never tasted so good.

Aquarius: Moscow Mule

Unpredictable. Refreshing. Stands out without trying.

Aquarius weddings are unconventional, fun, and always one step ahead. The Moscow Mule (vodka, lime, and ginger beer) is zesty, spicy, and served in a copper mug no one expected but everyone loves. These are the weddings with DIY neon signage, an outfit change for both partners, and a signature drink that’s just a little too cool to name.

Pisces: Bellini

Soft. Romantic. Slightly otherworldly.

Pisces brings dreamlike energy to everything, especially weddings. The Bellini—(peach purée and Prosecco) is delicate, sweet, and quietly intoxicating.  As a signature cocktail, it’s a perfect fit for brunch receptions, elopements by the sea, or intimate garden parties. Pisces will sip it with flushed cheeks and misty eyes, somewhere between the first dance and the last tear.

Mocktails still have a place at the bar

Whether you’re not drinking, pregnant, or just skipping the spirits altogether, your wedding mocktail should still look the part. Astrology-inspired mocktails are just as chic: think spicy lime spritzes for Aries, rosewater lemonade for Cancer, or a lavender cucumber tonic for Aquarius. These zero-proof pours keep the aesthetic and the experience without the hangover. Plus, they photograph just as well and taste like a good time.

Stars not aligning? Shake up something personal instead.

If you’re not loving your Zodiac signature cocktail match, make your own moment at the bar. Creating your own signature cocktail is one of the easiest (and most fun) ways to personalise your wedding. Whether it’s inspired by your first date, your honeymoon destination, or just the flavours you both love, a custom cocktail instantly elevates your drinks menu and gives guests something to remember.

Simply start with a base spirit you both enjoy (vodka, gin, rum, whisky) and layer in flavours that feel like you: maybe it’s lavender and lemon for something floral and fresh, or chilli and lime for a little heat.

Then, give it a name (inside jokes encouraged), pair it with a good garnish, and you’ve got a drinkable love story.
