Shirley Temple: The Ultimate Classic Mocktail Recipe

Virgo Season is the season of the Virgin Cocktail. And my personal favorite is none other than the Classic Shirley Temple. Made modern with Homemade Ginger Ale, Grenadine and sweetened with agave syrup, it’s sweet, spicy and utterly refreshing. As a mix of sweet and heat, the Classic Shirley Temple resonates with the sign of the Virgin not only because it’s non-alcoholic, but because the ginger in it is reputed to be good for the digestion, a part of the body ruled by picky, perfectionist Virgo. And it just makes sense, as both Virgo and the digestive system are know …

Punchy Homemade Ginger Ale

I call this homemade Ginger Ale “Punchy” because it really packs a punch. Sweet and spicy and filled with ginger energy, it’s not like anything you can get in the store. A perfectly refreshing drink for Virgo season, the energy of ginger resonates with both the Sun and Mars. The Sun is the planet of will, conciousness, vitality and self-confidence and Mars is the planet of ambition, energy and drive. So if you’re feeling the need for a boost of energy, give it a shot. But if you’re feeling like you could go on the war path soon, you may …

Sun Intention Tea recipe for the New Moon in Leo

It’s Leo Season, and I don’t know how it is where you are, but here in Seattle it’s hot. So why not cool down while setting some intentions around the energy of the Sun. The New Moon in Leo is Sunday, and it’s a great time to plant seeds around increased self-esteem, vitality, creative pursuits and leadership. And this time around, I made a video to help you make the recipe.

Blue Moon Milk Cocktail

Sunday’s Full Moon in Capricorn is not actually a Blue Moon. That’s next month. But Moon Milk seemed like the thing to do for this full moon, since the Moon will be at 29 degrees Capricorn and opposing the Sun at 29 degrees Cancer. With both Cancer and the Moon being all about nourishment, and ruling dairy products, I just felt like it was the way to go. And since this is my blog, I can ignore the fact that I’m a month early. But seriously, it gives you time to plan and since the ingredients aren’t really something you’ll …

Tropical Summer Peach Margarita Cocktail Recipe

It’s the last week of spring, but I’m already in a summer mood. A tropical drink type summer mood. Prepping for the solstice next week, I’m in the mood for something beachy, fruity and fun. So what better than a Peach Margarita? Or better yet, call them Marsgaritas because Mars just recently entered Taurus. Taurus is ruled by Venus and so are peaches, so there you go. And just one sip and you’ll be singing, “Wasting away again in Margaritaville.” Peaches are not just a summer staple, they are also a fruit of longevity. I added a touch of mint …
