As finals close in, we’d like to give you the chance to pick up your next favorite seasonal study drink, tailored to your astrological sign. Remember, this is just for fun and based on the generic zodiac traits. If your favorite drink doesn’t align with your flavor profile, check your moon or rising. Alternatively, feel free to just drink six shots of espresso in a cup and call it a latte. It’s that time of year.

Aries

Caramel Brulee + extra shot

You are a fiery and passionate individual who sometimes comes off as aggressive, but really is just someone who knows what they want and how they’re going to get it. Most people see you as a strong, impulsive and determined person, but you have a soft side, too. Cater to both of these aspects with the sweet flavor of the caramel brulee latte, with an extra shot to keep you on track and focused.

Taurus

Signature Hot Chocolate

Taurus, is there anything you’d want more than the comfort of a hot chocolate in bad weather? As an earth sign, you find peace in the small and fine things in life and always want to spread the love. Hot chocolates please just about anybody, and as a sign ruled by Venus, that means a good deal to you. Spread the love this holiday season by spending time with friends and family over this classic drink.

Gemini

Toasted White Chocolate Mocha, hot or iced

You’re satisfied with a hot or iced drink with little attention paid to weather in your choice. As an air sign, you love any chance to show your creativity and despise anything too simple. The toasted white mocha may be a standard recipe, but your individualist streak will define it as your own. This blend of espresso and sweetness will keep you going through all your endeavors and personal projects.

Cancer

Snickerdoodle Hot Chocolate + gingerbread syrup and caramel drizzle

It’s cold outside. Everything is due. You haven’t slept in two days, and at some point, coffee has started eroding your stomach lining. You are a creature of comfort, and stress affects you very strongly. You just want this to be over, so you can take a nap. You need the comfort of a Snickerdoodle Hot chocolate, which is just sweet and festive enough to bring you back to your centered self. Why not add caramel drizzle? Or you could even go wild and throw in some gingerbread syrup. You deserve it. Hang in there, bb.

Leo

Blonde Iced Maple Pecan Latte + extra shot

You are a person of singular taste. You’re classy and sassy and probably the best dressed out of your friend group. When you need coffee, you want every last aspect of it to match you exactly. You want something polished and sweet. Yes, it is too cold outside for an iced latte. But you’ve never let what other people think affect your way of life.

Virgo

Pumpkin Spice with almond milk

Don’t allow anyone to shame you about your favorite drink. You like to be warm and comfortable when it gets chilly outside, and that’s okay. Take a minute out of your busy day and relax with something you love. Almond milk gives it just a touch of extra sweetness. Get ready to get some serious work done.

Libra

Salted Caramel Mocha Frappuccino

As another sign ruled by Venus, you run into the problem of just wanting everyone to like you. You’re a social butterfly and love getting to know others, but don’t always have the confidence to let others get to know you. The salted caramel mocha Frappuccino is friendly for all audiences – add a personal touch if you want to step outside of your comfort zone. You appreciate decadence, and this almost-coffee drink is certainly that.

Scorpio

Cordusio

This drink is a little off the beaten path, which is perfect for a Scorpio. It is a mocha with very espresso-forward notes, and hints of dark chocolate. It can come off as too strong to some, but that is the reason that you enjoy it. You can relate. The intense, dark flavor of the chocolate and espresso combined with the creamy whole milk is pretty much you in a cup.

Sagittarius

Gingerbread Latte

While other fire signs are bold and headstrong, you find your fire in keeping a steady pace and discovering what makes you tick. You have spunk and dread losing your unique traits, but know how to bring that energy to others as well. The gingerbread latte carries spice and just enough sugar to pop. Your adventurous spirit may be sated with a contrasting syrup flavor added in or an extra topping.

Capricorn

Christmas Holiday Roast

You find pride in your common sense and firm rationale in approaching life. You’re probably the “mom friend” and dislike frivolous spending – all of which is reflected in a classic cup of the vintage Christmas roast. Sipping on this simple coffee will power you through those assignments without the sugar crash and leave you quite content.

Aquarius

Eggnog Latte + 2 pumps of peppermint syrup

You’re a wildcard, Aquarius. You are a creative and eclectic soul, and you need a drink that expresses this. Or “espressos” this. You like the warm holiday feeling of the eggnog latte, but something deep in your soul rebels against the everyday and the mediocre. You get to the counter to order and you just have to add some peppermint syrup.

Pisces

White Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino with java chips blended in + extra whip

Pisces, you’ve never been one to blend in with the crowd. This Frappuccino is unabashed and full of sugar with plenty of holiday cheer added in. You love to express yourself honestly and wish everyone else was willing to do the same. Some may find you melodramatic or wishy-washy, but you’re happy knowing that you’re in touch with your feelings – and secret menu recipes.
