Virgo New Moonjito
Grounding, Clarity, Cleansing
Sip to the stars this Virgo season with an earl grey, mint, and lemon harvest spritzer. True to Virgo’s nature, this recipe is grounded yet clearing—a perfect sip to savor the sign’s practicality and acuity. With Mercury-ruled mint, optional lavender, and uplifting lemon, each sip inspires mental rejuvenation. The earl grey simple syrup can be whipped up in minutes and brings the clarity and success of bergamot with the conscious mind energy of tea. For cocktail enjoyers, the rye whiskey base echoes the sheaf of grain held in the constellation’s hand. Those who do not like rye whiskey can swap for celestial Astreus gin or even try a wheat-based vodka. Nonalcoholic sippers can use Lyre’s Traditional Reserve or the alternate mocktail version if not using nonalcoholic substitutes. Topped with bubbly soda water, and a refreshing rosemary and/or mint sprig, this recipe brings all the elements of Virgo: grounded, practical, and clearing. Whether looking for a fresh start to get organized in life or a perceptive perspective, this concoction is a perfect Virgo season companion.

Energetic Alignment: Mental Clarity, Grounding, Purification, Peace
If you don’t know already, one of my favorite ways to create a simple cocktail syrup is through the use of tea! And lucky for us, both bergamot & rosemary are associated with the moon and the Virgo sign, plus potent potion additions for clarity, grounding, & peace. I’ve combined these two (bergamot through earl grey) for a fast and easy syrup, that you can use for cocktail making, or even add to coffee, tea, or drizzle over dessert! Check out this video on instagram, to see how simple syrup making can be!
Alternatively, you can use the Early Grey Ginger Syrup (one of my personal favorite syrups) from my book WitchCraft Cocktails.
Earl Grey Rosemary Cocktail Syrup
Ingredients
Method
- Set water to boil. In a mason jar, place Early Grey tea bag and rosemary sprig. Pour hot water over ingredients. If you want, you can use the sprig to stir the syrup clockwise, visualizing order and balance coming into your life. Let the mixture steep for five minutes, then stir in sugar. Let cool. Refrigerate and use for up to 3 weeks. Strain before use!

Let us know how it was!Cocktails & Crystals
I’m a bit biased, but crystals are one of my favorite tools to enhance magical workings and alignment. Here are some crystals and minerals that would be a great addition to your Virgo New Moon workings.
- Citrine (Solar Plexus, Sacral, & Root Chakras) is a go-to for a variety of intentions, all the way from abundance and willpower, to cleansing, positivity, and creativity. In general, this stone helps to transmute energy, and for the Virgo New Moon, this crystal could be a great choice to positively change habits, or to bring in abundance and a change of energy.
- Fluorite – Fluorite is one of my personal favorite stones for knowledge, focusing, and healing. This beauty occurs in a myriad of colors, and helps to clear the mind of debris. In this way, fluorite helps soothes anxiety and worry and allows for focus and productivity. A great choice to staying focused and getting organized under the Virgo New Moon!
- Green Aventurine – Green Aventurine (Heart Chakra) is wonderful stone to use for prosperity, to bring in new opportunities, and also to clear other people’s energy out of your aura and emotional body. It helps one release attachment to outcomes, inviting in optimism and joy, as well as prosperity, good luck, and vitality. I would use this stone to help invite prosperity and wellbeing under the Virgo New Moon.
- Selenite – (Crown Chakra) is wonderful for connecting you to the higher vibrational, angelic realms and to your “higher self.” Known for its cleansing and protective properties, selenite will keep any space, person, or item energetically clean. Selenite will help you declutter energetically, so you can declutter physically, too!
To layer on the energetic & magical frequencies, you can meditate with your given crystal beforehand, keep it on you as make and/or sip the drink, as well as attune the crystal to the drink by visualizing both the drink and crystal resonating together with your intention. (Don’t put your crystal in any of the cocktail components unless you know for sure it is not toxic).
