Making a Virgo Drink Recipe
So, how does one go about making a Virgo-inspired recipe?
Ruled by Mercury (planet of communication, travel, & how we process information), but a mutable earth sign, Virgo provides an efficient energy with which to analyze our daily lives in practical ways. So it’s is an earth sign, but ruled by an air-associated planet.
For a Virgo drink recipe, we want something that has herbal, earth-based flavors but uplifting elements that refresh and clear the mind. Let’s get into the ingredients!
Feel like you could use more Virgo energy in your life? In my Patreon, I created a Virgo season reflection packet to accompany the recipe for some intentional sipping.
Ingredients
When it comes to recipes, I like to layer every ingredient with intention and this Virgo cocktail is no exception. But don’t be afraid to adapt – some elements, like the rosemary and lavender bitters and completely optional!
Below, I talk about the magical associations of ingredients and why I included them for informational purposes only. Always seek the advice of a healthcare professional.
- Fresh Mint adds that refreshing, herbal touch to rejuvenate each sip of this Virgo Starry Spritzer. In magic, peppermint specifically is associated with Mercury
- Rosemary (an optional ingredient) has a clearing touch, often used for clarity in witchcraft.
- Lavender Bitters (an optional ingredient) is ruled by Mercury in magic, and adds some of those air-like qualities: peace and clearing. I used All The Bitter, as they are nonalcoholic and some of the best bitters in my opinion!
- Earl Grey is whipped into a simple syrup within minutes for this recipe. It helps ground the flavors in a Virgo-fashion and add the clarity and success associations of bergamot with the conscious mind energy of tea.
- Lemon is bright and uplifting, and the perfect bridge from the earthy flavors to the lighter aspects of the Virgo drink recipe.
- Bubbly soda water adds a sparkling, uplifting touch—raising our intentions to starry sky.
Virgo COCKTAIL Ingredients
If you’re going for a Virgo alcoholic drink, the base of this recipe is rye whiskey—but you do have some other options!
In the Virgo constellation, the sign holds a bushel of wheat in one hand. So grain based-spirits (like whiskey) are perfect for a Virgo drink.
I use Rye Whiskey because it is earthy and rye carries a loving energy in witchcraft (an echo of Virgo’s helper energy). To be honest, I’m not the biggest fan of Rye Whiskey, but it really works well in this recipe.
Those who do not like rye whiskey can swap for celestial Astreus gin or even try a wheat-based vodka.
Virgo MOCKTAIL Substitutions (Nonalcoholic)
Nonalcoholic sippers have TWO options for this recipe!
- Substitute the rye whiskey with a nonalcoholic replacement, such as Lyre’s Traditional Reserve
- OR try the second recipe without nonalcoholic spirits—it’s basically an adjusted version.
So this way, whether or not you have nonalcoholic spirits you can enjoy a Virgo drink!
