From getting a new job to buying your first house to gathering with friends and family for the holidays, there are plenty of reasons big and small to raise a glass. And while many people enjoy toasting to a special occasion with a drink or two, you might prefer to celebrate without the promise of a hangover the next day. But that doesn't mean you have to stick to water or a boring soda. More and more bars and restaurants are adding non-alcoholic cocktails to their menus, and they're just as fun and fancy as their boozy counterparts. Whether you're going out or playing mixologist at home, Best Life's resident astrologer has paired each zodiac sign with the mocktail that suits them best. Read on to discover if you're more of a pomegranate tonic or a whipped lemonade.

Outspoken Aries loves to lead the pack and set the trends. Though you're known for your fiery temper, you also have a hidden soft side and are a loyal friend. This watermelon mint "agua fresca" matches your sweet side, but we recommend adding jalapeño for a surprising kick that'll satisfy your spicy side. The mint adds a fresh note to help you stay energized and focused, since you're not one to sit still. Add a dash of tajín around the rim for extra heat or squeeze some lime juice for a twist of flavor, and you'll be set to go!

Tauruses are grounded, calm, and very loving. You wear your heart on your sleeve, so you need a drink that embodies the same warmth and charm you're famous for—like this orange chai blossom mocktail. It requires a little work to make, but you're no stranger to putting in the effort for a big payoff. After boiling the tea bags and sugar and letting things cool, add your favorite chai syrup and lime juice to a pitcher and store in the fridge. Serve over ice and finish with club soda and anise pods.

Geminis are the bright and effervescent charmers of the zodiac. You like to switch things up, so you have no trouble stepping outside your comfort zone if it means having a good time. A whipped lemonade matches your light and bubbly personality but has enough tartness to keep people guessing. There are many versions of this popular drink, but this recipe calls for just two simple ingredients (fresh lemon juice and cream of coconut) and takes less than a minute to prepare. How's that for efficiency and ease?

Cancer: Triple Berry Sparkler

Cancers are the nurturing homebodies of the zodiac, so you enjoy nothing more than entertaining your loved ones. That's why, in addition to being comforting and mellow, your ideal mocktail can be made in batches. This triple-berry sparkler is extra special thanks to frozen berry ice cubes that add flavor as they melt into the drink. Prepare a pitcher of the seltzer, lemon and lime juice, and honey in advance, and then just add the berry cubes as you serve. Simple, elegant, and creative—just like you!

Adventurous and thrill-seeking, Sagittarians aren't afraid to take risks. If you're going out of your way to make a mocktail, it better be something to talk about. But with your busy lifestyle, it should require ingredients you can grab anywhere. A Virgin Mary is a playful, alcohol-free twist on a brunch favorite that tastes just as good as the original. Simply grab a bottle of Bloody Mary mix and add whatever ingredients you prefer, like tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, or celery stalks.
