The last thing you probably want to hear right after you just sat down at a bar is “What’s your sign?” But what if the mixologist behind the bar can elevate your drinking experience by simply knowing your zodiac sign? That’s exactly what Aliza Kelly Faragher, author of The Mixology of Astrology, wants to do.
For thousands of years we’ve been consulting the stars––wondering what the future holds for our careers, friendships, potential investments and our love lives. The Mixology of Astrology is a guide on how you can tap into the stars to determine your perfect cocktail match. The book contains over 200 pages on the history of the zodiac, bartending essentials, cocktail recipes and an in-depth look at each astrological sign.
The book not only tours each sign, but it also breaks down the multiple layers of astrology. Did you know that one of the most important things about your astrology sign is understanding the position of the sun at your birth? Yeah, I didn’t either. The sun’s placement can reveal personality traits and preferences. So your preference for that perfect dry martini garnished with salty stuffed olives just might be determined by your zodiac. I’m a Leo––a natural leader with a flair for drama and luxury. It’s no wonder I pair perfectly with the Liquid Diamond. It is tasty and smooth, but more importantly, it appeals to my vanity.
