Umbrella Drinks

[NJ Johnny]

Let's hear about your favorite "Umbrella Drinks". What's your favorite and what are the ingredients? Always like to try something new.

Don't think it had an umbrella, but on my last cruise I forever became hooked on a drink because of a suggestion I read on this board before cruising - the BBC - BAILEYS BANANA COLADA! To die for!

[NJ Johnny]

Sounds great! Anybody else with suggestions? Carol

I'm usually a beer and wine girl, but will enjoy a few "pinky up" drinks on cruises.

1. Cherry Lime Aid...Bacardi Limon, Absolut Citron, and fresh limes and cherries (I just as for light on the cherries).

 

2. Martinis! Oh how I love buy one get one martinis! Though I can't really call them martinis. More like mixed drinks served martini style.

Some faves: Pear pleasure, Floridian, Lemon Grove, French Kiss

Dessert martinis: Espresso, Raspberry Torte, Roxy Treat, Key lime pie

 

Need to remember the name of your fave? I found an old drink menu here:

We were in St Thomas with Jewel and I really enjoyed Painkillers. Rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, coco loco

 

If you are going to Bermuda you can hit our favorites. Rum Swizzles at Swizzle Inn, frog and Onion for pretty much everything, and Hog Penny for Dark and Stormy.

 

Try the martini tastings aboard. Good deal and you get the recipes.

OK, now I'm starting to make up a list. Keep them coming! Carol

For me nothing sets the mood like a Pina Colada and then my other favorites are Tropical Passion, Frozen Strawberry-Banana Daiquiri and a Mudslide. Just a note: I brought back 6 real stem hurricane glasses that you can get with a few of the drinks. I had to stop at 6 or I wouldn't be able to carry them safely home. They are yours to keep as well as the helmet that holds 6 beers. I mention that because a couple of young guys did not know you could keep the helmets. The souvenir glass drinks run $7.95 and the helmet of 6 beers about $30. Just FYI.

 

Bon Voyage and Happy Drinking :)
