Summer is the return of the sun, crowded terraces, aperitif that ends up … and glasses that say a lot. Because if sipping a mojito or a Spritz seems trivial, the choice of your cocktail may well reveal behind the scenes of your personality. Through what we drink, we sometimes reveal our moods, our emotional desires, our way of loving … and even our way of being in connection with others. A fun analysis that the psychoanalyst Christian Richomme gives us. Tell me what you sip, I will tell you how you are going!
Mojito: the heart in celebration
Always at the top of the favorite cocktails of the French for 10 years, the Mojito is the emblem of solar personalities. Whoever chooses it likes to bring together, seduce without force, put the mood with naturalness. Behind the mint leaves hides a warm, flexible temperament, which prefers the pleasure of the moment to planning. For him, the aperitif is an art of living, and life, an adventure to share.
Spritz: the dolce vita in priority
With its orange shade and its delicate bitterness, the Spritz seduces lovers of elegant calm. Those who prefer it like to take their time, savor a cozy conversation, observe rather than shine. Spritz reveals a personality that loves simple beauty, true moments, and which flees relational chaos. Posed, but never bland.
Piña Colada: soft escape
If you sip a Piña Colada, it is because you have kept a dream soul. Lovers of this sweet drink, nostalgic for the tropics, seek escape, tenderness, and a bit of magic. They flee the routine, prefer sweet sensations to stormy relationships. Hot sand, frothy hugs and 80s playlists are their ideal of happiness.
Margarita: passion in a drink
A sip of Margarita, and it explodes. This cocktail, both salty, acidic and powerful, attracts whole, intense, passionate personalities. Those who love it are not afraid of excesses, fiery debates, nor of the overflowing feelings. They love strong relationships, lively emotions, and reject lukewarmness as a betrayal.
Gin Tonic: the assumed edge
Those who choose a Gin Tonic like to go to the point. Cold at first? Maybe. But above all: lucid, effective, frank. They do not like detours, prefer truth to staging, the silent complicity in the demonstration. Gin Tonic is the choice of structured minds … and solid hearts.
Mocktail (or alcohol -free cocktail): joyful wisdom
Long considered austere, the alcohol-free cocktail is experiencing a real rise in power (+28 % in 2 years, especially among 18-35 year olds). Choosing a mocktail is not refusing the party is to participate otherwise. These personalities know how to lay their limits, listen to their bodies, and prefer authenticity to drunkenness. Calm, attentive, they offer a reassuring and often deep presence.
A choice not so harmless …
According to an Ifop study of 2022, one in three French people declares that it has already changed cocktail according to its mood. A Spritz to feel chic, a mojito to disinhibit himself, a Margarita to spice up the evening … What if our glasses became the unconscious messengers of our moods?
Christian Richomme affirms it and concludes: “Our cocktail reveals our relational rhythm, our relationship to spontaneity, intimacy, and sometimes even to our love expectations.” In other words: your summer drink may well be your disguised tender card.
