As earth signs, Tauruses are known to be deeply attached to the world around them — per Allure. A Taurus is known as some of the most sensory being in the entire zodiac. Taurus signs adore cooking an amazing meal at home, using only the freshest, farm-to-table ingredients and usually preferring hearty, nutritious vegetarian meals. This sign is naturally warm and comforting, and they also love to revel in some self care — Tauruses are right at home giving themselves some T.L.C. with a homemade honey-oat face mask, sinking deep in a bathtub with aromatherapy oils, or even gardening in their backyard. Even then, the bull sign is also notoriously hardworking, and they don’t shy away from giving their all to their goals.
It makes sense that the Old Fashioned cocktail is any Taurus sign’s drink of choice. Combining muddled sugar, bitters, water, whiskey, a cherry and orange twist, this cocktail is a perfect balance between sweet and complex, and is a deeply traditional choice that never feels frilly. Tauruses are no-nonsense after all, they always tell it like it is, and yes, they’re stubborn, too. But that’s part of their charm –- a Taurus is always steady, and is the epitome of classic –- just like the Old Fashioned. Invented in 1880 in Louisville, Kentucky and later whisked off to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel bar in New York, according to Thrillist, any Taurus will appreciate this cocktail’s age-old history.
