A celestially appropriate drink for you to sip on all summer long.
The Perfect Summer Cocktail for Your Zodiac Sign
Published on Jun. 20, 2025
With all the summer cocktails out there, it can be a little overwhelming to pick a recipe. So, why not let your zodiac sign lead the way?
It’s true that Cancer, Leo and Virgo are the only zodiac signs that get to celebrate a summer birthday. But that doesn’t mean that the rest of the world can’t have a little fun too. Scroll through this list to find your zodiac sign’s perfect summer drink. If you want to switch things up, you can even try your rising sign or moon sign’s cocktail, too.
I’ve even taken it a step further to make sure every one of these drink is a batch cocktail. That means you make one big batch to keep in the fridge and you’re all set. No more measuring, shaking or mixing every time your cup runs dry—simply pour yourself a new one and get back to that beach read!

5. Leo: Caipirinha
July 23 to August 22
Leos will always bring something new and exciting to the table. The caipirinha is a little like a mojito, but without the mint and with a sugarcane-based alcohol called cachaça instead of rum. This classic Brazilian cocktail is probably going to be the most interesting drink you have all summer, and that’s exactly how Leo likes it.
