If Enneagrams Were Bourbon Cocktails

Discover which Bourbon cocktail best represents your Enneagram personality.

What if your Enneagram type didn’t just explain your inner motivations, but also your drink order? From bold, barrel-proof classics to carefully balanced crowd-pleasers, we’ve paired each Enneagram type with a Bourbon cocktail counterpart that perfectly captures its essence. Consider this your tastiest personality test…garnish not optional.

Type 1 – The Manhattan

Classic. Balanced. Believes everything (and everyone) can be improved with a little refinement.

Type 2 – The Hot Toddy

Warm, generous, and always there to help — the definition of dependable comfort.

Type 3 – The Mint Julep

Ambitious and bold. It takes high standards to deliver results worth sipping on.

Type 4 – The Boulevardier

Complex and poetic, a little dramatic, but in the most delicious way.

Type 5 – The Whiskey Sour (& New York Sour)

Analytical and innovative, but still knows how to mix logic with a little sweetness.

Type 6 – The Paper Plane

Loyal, dependable, and steady even when life gets a little bittersweet.

Type 7 – The Seelbach

Life of the party. Sparkling, spontaneous, and always chasing the next great adventure.

Type 8 – The Old Fashioned

Bold, assertive, and unapologetically strong. Always makes a statement.

Type 9 – The Highball

Laid-back, harmonious, and effortlessly cool — makes everything feel a little smoother.
