NukeTim Posted April 23, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I'd sure like to get a copy of the recipe to make that wonderful white sangria Celebrity serves in Qsine. Does anybody have it, know a link to find it, or be willing to copy it off the the iPad next time they're in Qsine? The next day I asked one of our waiters - who happened to be working in Bistro on Fifth the next day - if they could get it. They said they would get it for me, but never did. I wonder if it's kept under lock and key like the Coca-Cola formula? If we can't get the exact ingredients, on the iPad they do show what goes into each drink. If I knew even that I could start my experimenting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love white Sangria:D Will make an effort to copy it off their iPad to mine when I am on board Summit next month!:rolleyes: Do you know if it is served as part of the premium drink package or is it a separately chargeable item like their specialty cocktails?

Rare Azulann Posted April 24, 2012 #4 Share Posted April 24, 2012 The best white sangria I ever had was in Barcelona. Here is another idea. Go online and get a bunch of white sangria recipes. Start having sangria tastings. By the end of the month you will find a winner and all your friends will love you.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarylady19 Posted April 24, 2012 #5 Share Posted April 24, 2012 None of the special drinks at Qsine are included in the drinks package. We opted for sparkling wine instead, as it was no additional cost with the premium plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinma Posted July 20, 2012 #6 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Here's what is in it: We had the premium alcohol package and the drinks in Qsine were included. We simply paid the difference between the $12 limit and the $13 price of the drink. And the waiter apologized for having to charge us the $1. Believe me, these drinks are worth it. They were the best we had on the ship. The menu only mentions a pitcher of sangria but they also serve it by the glass (which is how DH drank it since we were on the package).

FunCruiser56 Posted July 20, 2012 #7 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Yummm, that Sangria was so refreshing! We sure would love the recipe, we wished we could order it every night in the main dining room or deliver it to our stateroom! Bev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymjudge55 Posted July 20, 2012 #8 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Have never cruised before so forgive a possibly dumb question.....if you are not dining in Qsine could you go in and get one of those drinks at their bar? Or is there a bar in the restaurant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinma Posted July 20, 2012 #9 Share Posted July 20, 2012 That is a good question. I don't recall a bar. I am not sure where drinks were being mixed. I had the impression that the person taking our drink orders may have been mixing them herself. She was very knowledgeable about the drinks (not just about what was in them but the subtle aspects of what they tasted like). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskaGolden Posted July 20, 2012 #10 Share Posted July 20, 2012 How much is the pitcher? :confused: They'll be 8 of us dining together next May, and I know at least 1/2 would enjoy this! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaroleSS Posted July 20, 2012 #11 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I've never had it, but it sure does sound yummy!! A cursory web search finds that you take a bottle of your favorite white wine, add some sugar and you favorite fruits and let it sit for a while. Add a spalsh of seltzer/club soda/lemon-line soda/ginger ale/etc and enjoy! Fruit combinations I've seen are: - apple, lemon, lime, peach, raspberry with some apple liquor - orange, mango with peach schnapps and cognac - peach, honeydew and brandy - orange, lemon, pineapple, apple with triple sec And the list goes on and on! I know that you can email Holland and ask for recipes. Has anyone emailed Celebrity and asked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaBag Posted July 20, 2012 #12 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Wonder if the recipe is in their cookbook, Excite the Senses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisersTimesThree Posted July 20, 2012 #13 Share Posted July 20, 2012 We had the white sangria in Qsine last month on the Summit, and it certainly is included in the premium drink package. It is $13 a glass, so being $1 over the package limit, we should have been charged an extra $8 (4 of us, 2 glasses each) but for some reason our waiter was nice enough and didn't add it to our bill! Just remember, if you have the classic drink package, you will be charged the full amount of any drink over $8. Only the premium package allows you to pay the difference of any drink over the $12 limit. p.s. the sangria is delish! i'd love to have the recipe too!

alishac Posted July 20, 2012 #15 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Do they also have a red sangria at Qsine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisersTimesThree Posted July 20, 2012 #16 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Do they also have a red sangria at Qsine? I'm going to take a guess and say no. I prefer red to white, so if it was on the drink menu I probably would have ordered it. I could have overlooked it, so maybe someone else can answer for sure.

pinma Posted July 20, 2012 #17 Share Posted July 20, 2012 No red sangria on the special qsine menu but there is a 'Hamilton sangria' that I think is available throughout the ship. That one is red wine, rum, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted July 20, 2012 #18 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I shared a pitcher of the White Sangria with friends last Nov on Eclipse. I don't remember how much it cost but it is DELICIOUS:):D:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinma Posted July 23, 2012 #23 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Thank you! I suspect we will never have all those ingredients on hand but it's neat to see everything spelled out. Can you imagine the batch size if broken down to the bottle size the recipe is 1/5 of this, 1/9 of that? I made a white sangria from a recipe I found online this weekend that was very good but not as good as this one. Certainly a lot fewer ingredients!

h20cruzer Posted July 23, 2012 #24 Share Posted July 23, 2012 OMG thats really too much work. I will just have to take another cruise to have more of the delicious Sangria. Norma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
