Easy to drink and well-balanced, the classic copper mug of the Mule makes for a timeless and fashionable drink that matches the crowd-pleasing and voguish Libra’s sensibilities. The Mule is also an easily customizable drink — Replacing the vodka with rum makes a Jamaican Mule, while whiskey makes a Kentucky Mule!
- 1.5 oz. Vodka
- .25 oz. Lime Juice
- 4 oz. Ginger Beer

Scorpio (October 23rd to November 22nd) – Manhattan
The resident dissident of the zodiac signs, the Scorpio’s confident, edgy, and charming qualities could only result in the choice of a Manhattan.

The spice of cayenne and the sweetness of lime and watermelon make for a spicy and sweet drink that has a lot to say, while its bright red color leaves no question as to the nature of this drink. Try muddling fresh watermelon cubes instead of using juice for a bright note!
