The Perfect Non-Alcoholic Cocktail for Every Enneagram Type

Just because you’re abstaining from alcohol this dry January doesn’t mean that you have to deprive your taste buds! Mocktails are a fun way to have drinks with your friends without waking up to a massive headache and the lingering taste of regret.

Now, you may be wondering, what does the Enneagram have to do with mocktails? Well, it turns out that each personality type's taste in drinks is as unique as its tastes in careers, partners and life. Read on to discover the perfect booze-free drink for your Enneagram type!

Type One: Cucumber Ginger Mint Agua Fresca

Type Ones love to do things perfectly. That’s why this agua fresca is ideal: the recipe is very forgiving so it’s easy to get it right. Just blend cucumbers, ginger, mint, lime juice and honey together, run it through a strainer and you’re basically done. Unlike other mocktails, the agua fresca isn’t too syrupy sweet so it refreshes instead of draining your energy. It gives you the fuel to go after your goals at full speed.

Type Twos love spending time with their friends and family, treasuring quality time and creating memories together. Luckily, making this mocktail is a multi-step process so you'll have ample time to bond while preparing the drink! Tart, sweet and familiar, it’s the perfect blend to showcase your nurturing personality and your love of nostalgia.

Type Three: Italian Soda

You're the designated trendsetter of your friend group, Type Three, which makes you the go-to person for the most novel and exotic drink ideas. And your Italian Soda concoction does not disappoint! Now, don’t be fooled by the name – Italian Soda was actually crafted by Italian immigrants in the 1920s, not in the vineyards of Tuscany. But hey, who's checking the timeline when the fizz hits just right? The beauty of this drink lies in its versatility. Swap out the syrup, and you'll impress with a new Italian soda every time!

Type Four: Warm Berry Cider

Far from a traditional cold mocktail, this cider is a warm mixture of apple juice and your favorite berries. Most people make it in a slow cooker, so it’s not the most spontaneous concoction nor the best one to bring on a raging night out. But then again, that’s probably not what you’re looking for is it, Type Four? At the start of another busy year, a quiet afternoon spent simmering and straining fruits is just the rejuvenating experience you need.

Type Five: Honey Lemon Spritzer

Type Fives want a mocktail that’s low-key but impressive – just like you. The honey lemon spritzer only consists of two flavors and a carbonated base, but the result is a taste sensation. It’s also easy to create, which makes it a fast addition to dinner, yet it’s still a bit different than plain juice or water. Plus, it's usually a summertime drink, and drinking it in dreary January appeals to your non-conformist streak!

Type Six: Shirley Temple

What's the perfect mocktail for a Type Six? The one that's everyone’s childhood favorite – the Shirley Temple! You love tradition and dependability, which makes this simple mocktail of ginger ale and grenadine syrup your go-to choice. It’s nostalgic and will take you back to childhood days of sipping it in a grown-up glass. Add in a few maraschino cherries (and maybe an umbrella for good measure) and you're all set.

Type Seven: Mango-Pineapple Slush

When it comes to your drinks, you need to have options, Type Seven. Who wants to commit to one flavor when there are so many to choose from? This mango-pineapple slushy lets you mix and match tropical flavors to your heart's content, and it has a smoothie-like consistency that’s a nice break from the usual mocktail texture. And as an added bonus, this super-simple slush can be made in big batches, which makes it perfect to prep before a wild night out. Add chunks of fruit and pour in chips of frozen coconut water instead of regular ice to make it even more fun!

Enjoy these: In a flask while you’re out restaurant hopping or as the alcohol-free alternative at a house party, so your guests can stay refreshingly hydrated and carefree!

Type Eight: Cranberry Maple Mocktail

You don’t mess around with your life goals, Type Eight, so you won’t mess around with your mocktails, either! Instead of creating a confusing mix of tastes and ingredients, you appreciate cohesive flavors that work together effortlessly. This January, try a cranberry maple mocktail that’s as strong as your personality. Bold red with drops of maple syrup for sweetness and lemon juice for a tinge of sourness – it’s the perfect sophisticated blend.

Type Nine: Snickerdoodle Cookie Blend

The Holidays may be over, Type Nine, but your love of cozy, warm drinks is still going strong! That's why this snickerdoodle cookie blend is the perfect mocktail for you. Made with milk, sugar and a cinnamon-based syrup, this drink is both comforting and familiar – just how you like it. More fun than a mug of eggnog, this mocktail is usually served in glasses dipped in graham cracker crumbs. Adding sticks of cinnamon and small ice cream scoops is optional, but it’ll definitely make you feel extra cozy!
