tell me what Zodiac sign you are, I’ll tell you what you drink!

We know that the Moon influences the tides, that it plays a role in hair growth… Why wouldn’t it also have an effect on plants? Or even on what we drink? This is the starting point of Head Bartender Romain de Courcy, at the Ritz Bar. The mixologist was inspired by the lunar calendar, this ancestral tool well known to gardeners (and the greatest biodynamic winegrowers) which connects plants, elements and constellations.

The lunar calendar, ancestral knowledge

Set on the phases of the Moon, themselves linked to the positions of the constellations of the Zodiac in the sky, this calendar specifies, day after day, which type of plant to take care of as a priority. And counts the weeks in “flower” days (when the Moon passes in front of the constellations of Libra, Gemini or Aquarius). In “root” days (when the star passes in front of the constellations of Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn). But also in “leaf” days, when the permanent natural satellite of planet Earth passes in front of the constellations of Scorpio, Pisces or Cancer. And finally in “fruit” days: when the Moon is in line with the constellations of Aries, Leo or even Sagittarius.

Aries, Leo, Sagittarius:

Opt for “Fruit”, which captures the Fire element through exotic and indulgent ingredients such as white grapefruit, clarified coconut milk, Madagascar vanilla and passion fruit. The tangy richness of this non-alcoholic cocktail, with a slight hint of bitterness on the finish, makes it a vibrant creation full of character… All in your image!

Cancer, Scorpion, Poisson :

Associated with water signs, “Feuille” celebrates Provence mint, patchouli, Aloe Vera, blackcurrant bud and blue spirulina. In the mouth? An intense, minty freshness, delicately enhanced by a fruity note of blackcurrant. Its complex balance and length on the palate, supported by patchouli. Beware of standing water!

Designed in homage to earth signs, “Racine” enhances refined ingredients such as ginger, turmeric, licorice and Haitian vetiver, enhanced by a sparkling touch of Ginger Ale. Without added sugar, the beverage combines delicately scented freshness with woody and soothing notes. Sensual.
