January – Old Fashioned

Classic. Grounded. Timeless.

January babies are characterized by ambition, order, and a tendency to stick to what is comfortable and traditional. The Old Fashioned follows suit: historical, rich, and classic. It is not flashy, nor does it need to be. It is confident in its belief that simplicity is still a virtue.

February – Espresso Martini

February babies typically have a mellow finesse about them. They are romantics but tough cookies. They are like the cocktail they call the Espresso Martini. Rich, smooth, kind of addicting, and a good nightcapor midnight soul searching chat.

• Base spirit: Vodka with coffee liqueur and fresh espresso
• Why it fits: You’re romantic, intense, and secretly the wild one. You know how to keep things interesting.
