Mostly A’s: Hamilton Iced Tea, One Tree Hill

Out of these five personalities, you’re the most loyal and down-to-earth. A natural born chiller, you’re like a palm tree in a storm: stoic, but flexible. You pride yourself on your sense of justice and your coolly pragmatic attitude to life. Even though you normally love an afternoon of wine and cheese, sipping on a refreshing Hamilton Iced Tea and taking in the sunset views at One Tree Hill is right up your alley: inoffensive, balanced and grounding.  
 

Mostly B’s: Baptism by Fire, TAKO Taqueria and Cantina

What’s shaking, entertainer? Spontaneous, enthusiastic and open-minded, you’re the social butterfly of the group. A master in bending the rules, your lust for life, contagious energy and impulsiveness make you a great partner in crime, and people tend to drift into your orbit. As such, Baptism by Fire at TAKO not only sounds like your personal epitaph, but it’ll give you enough fiery fuel to keep you dancing and breaking hearts.  
 

Mostly C’s: Piña Colada, Island Bar

Always up for an adventure, you’re a sunny dreamer emitting pure rays. We bet your camera roll is full of nature-related pictures and the soles of your feet are forever wet, muddy or sandy. When you’re not soaking up the sunshine, you can be found living life to the fullest – that’s why the iconic Island Bar’s Piña Colada rocks your boat. Nothing says holiday more than a cocktail served from a swim-up bar.
 

Mostly D’s: Espresso Martini, Sails  

Smart, creative and engaged with the world around you, you’re part-intellectual, part-idealist and the person most likely to be our Who Wants to Be a Millionaire lifeline. You would never be caught dead drinking anything with an umbrella in it and love a decent people-watching session, so if it were up to us, we’d shout you an Espresso Martini at Sails. Not only does it feature your daily vice, but it complements your modus operandi: switched-on.  
 

Mostly E’s: Pimlet, Bommie Deck

You’re a bit of a perfectionist, but that’s also because you’re an expert doer, high achiever and skilled conversationalist. You work hard, but you’ve also found a balance in your life – and you never sacrifice quality for quantity. Freedom is as important to you as structure, and your finger-on-the-pulse taste and appetite for luxury is enviable, which is why we suggest a chic Pimlet, enjoyed on the Bommie Deck while the turtles bob past. It’s indulgent, yet understated.
