Favourite Cocktail .


Recommended Posts

I'm taking my first Royal cruise next week and assuming they'll have traditional Mojitos (and they're as good as my DH makes them).

 

2 oz white rum

2 oz lime juice

1 tsp sugar (I use 1 1/2)

4 mint leaves

2 oz club soda

and of course lots of ice. we use cubes, not shaved.

 

crush leaves with sugar and lime juice (use a mortar and pestle for this if you can). Add the rum, then the club soda. My favorite drink in teh summer.

 

I'm sure everyone here knows how to make a Mojito, but there's so many variations and I think I must have tried them all :D . This one I like best though.

Go to the following web page----this couple has a great page for menus, compasses and their review with photos.

http://www.thepreismans.com..

They have a great photo of the whole bar menu so you can see photos of the drinks and what is in them.

When you get to their site--just look under the Allure.

 

That is fantastic , thank you so much for posting this , some great reviews in there and the cocktail list was just what I was looking for .

My absolutely favorite drinks are on the Oasis. Cucumber martini in 150 Central Park and fresh Raspberry Mojito in Solarium Bistro. The different sangrias in Giovanni's at lunch are good as well but the other 2, amazing, imho.

 

Raspberry mojito?? Why have I never heard of this?? :eek: OMG need to try one fast! :D I so need to be on a ship right now.

On every cruise, I make it a personal challenge to determine which bar on the ship makes the best Mojito! This research involves having at least 2 or 3 Mojitos each day...and making a real effort to hit all the bars. This is a piece of cake on the smaller ships.

 

But our next cruise will be our first time on Allure in August. I am somewhat daunted by the sheer number of bars, and all the stuff we've already planned and reserved (which seems to require that I make a daily calendar type planning document to keep it all straight.) And there's the risk of over-indulging and creating an alcohol induced disability, which might impair my ability to enjoy the ship and the ports. So if anybody has done this type of scientific Mojito research on Allure, please help me narrow down the field.:D

P.S. I've already made note of the Raspberry Mojito in the Solarium Bistro - thanks!:)

On my last cruise I asked the bartender to surprise me. He did, with a pomegranite cosmo. It was great, but the real surprise was the $12.36 price tag!

 

I thought the cocktails were all one price :eek: I hope you enjoyed it .

I have heard of a BBC cocktail on the boards , not sure what it is though ?

I have never seen a list of the cocktails that Royal serve , so am wondering what everyone's favourite is and what is in it .

Chocolate martinis............................fabulous. I like mine with chocolate vodka so they are clear.

 

In our family we refer to them as Chicklet Martoonis, since they are pretty strong.
