Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Drinks served in fine glassware will go a long way to please Libra. Almost more than the taste, Libra loves the visual and aesthetic experience of the cocktail. Odds are even a beer will be more appealing to the sign of the Scales when served in an attractive bottle or glass. Librans also enjoy the elegance of champagne, consumed in romantic settings and combined with the sweetness of fruit, as in the classic Mimosa. No slamming your fist on the bar, please -- Libra likes it serene.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
The darker the better for reclusive Scorpio. This applies to a bar's ambience as well as to the liquor itself -- dimly lit, out of the way bars, and drinks using bourbon, scotch, dark wines and dark rum enhance the Scorpion's tendency to go within. Needless to say, summer's not typically the Scorpion's favorite season, but refreshing savory drinks like the Bloody Mary or rum drinks like the Bahama Mama may make relaxing by the pool or lounging in the hammock more enjoyable.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 20)
Sagittarius is usually game for something really out there -- with a kick -- like a whiskey punch, a Long Island Iced Tea or a Hurricane (rum, lime juice, passion fruit, orange juice, Angostura bitters). The Archer also loves the flair of international drinks such as the popular Brazilian Caipirinha (Cachaça liquor, sugar, crushed limes, ice), and the you could swim in it size of a Birdbath Margarita. Along with Pisces, Sagittarius is the sign most prone to overdoing it, so keep that designated driver or taxi company phone number handy.
Capricorn (Dec. 21 to Jan. 19)
Capricorn likes cocktails just like they are -- classic and on the dry side. Gin and tonic, standard martinis (prepared with gin, please, not vodka) and drinks without frills or fruit garnishes make Cappy happy. Like Leo, Capricorn prefers high-end liquors that speak to his or her good taste. Try a classic after-dinner ritual like dry port with cheese to please your Mountain Goat. Traditional bars in the most respected parts of town are best.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 17)
Admit it, Aquarius. In college or your younger years, you probably were voted "Most Likely to Consume Jello Shots." Your taste still tends toward the quirky, including Kamikaze shooters or trendy drinks such as the Pomtini (vodka, lime, grapefruit and pomegranate juices), though you do enjoy the effervescence of a good champagne. Coffee drinks such as Keoki Coffee (brandy, Kahlua, coffee) offer the alertness you crave. You most enjoy sharing drinks with a group of good friends.
Pisces (Feb. 18 to March 19)
Pisces picks up subtle flavors better than anyone, and will especially enjoy wine tasting or sampling cocktails by a lake or body of water. Favorite summer drinks of the Fish may include Fish House Punch (rum, Cognac, lemon juice, peach brandy) or a glass of top-notch dessert wine. Pisces loves the otherworldliness induced by a round of cocktails, yet may need to monitor his or her drinking more than other signs. It couldn't hurt to rent the Tom Cruise movie 'Cocktail' for more on the pros and cons of consuming alcoholic drinks.
