Avril Posted September 3, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) I have the Signature Beverage Package on my upcoming cruise on the Eurodam. :D I'm looking forward to trying different drinks that I may or may not have tried before. Just wondering, what are your favourite Signature drink(s) that are a must try? Any that should be avoided? And not only for by the pool on sea days but also for in the evening/at night when I'm out and about around the ship. I'm just trying to plan ahead here, lol and make a list of interesting and yummy things to try!! :D Edited September 3, 2014 by Avril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakalina Posted September 3, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Daytime I love a frozen mango daiquiri. Evenings I prefer a chocolate or candy apple martini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr and Mrs CIQ Posted September 3, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Wang Wang . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberta Quilter Posted September 3, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Mojito. I think HAL makes a wonderful mojito. The lemon drop is pretty good, too. And I think I enjoyed the cucumber lime splash but the mojito is my favourite so I don't stray too far from that. I tried the wang wang on my last cruise but didn't care for it. Of course, since you have the SBP, you should try them all! HAL has a drink of the day so you can try a different one every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your thinking and may do just that on our Alaska cruise next year where we have the Explore 4.;) However for now Pina Colada is my fav.

Cayoooga Posted September 3, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Wang Wang . I second that.....Wang Wang. A sail away tradition ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vict0riann Posted September 3, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 3, 2014 What's in a wang wang? It's not one of those drinks that they flog at the Filipino crew show is it? Those are just plain awful!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windsailer Posted September 3, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Gin's Cup - very tasty drink. On most ships they serve it in a martini glass...but on the Eurodam the Silk Bar serves it over ice in a really, really large glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PathfinderEss Posted September 3, 2014 #9 Share Posted September 3, 2014 An Espresso Martini, oh so very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serendipity1499 Posted September 3, 2014 #10 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Would someome please tell us what a wang wang is? Maybe someday I'll try it.. My favorite in the afternoon is either a Mudslide or a Bloody Mary.. Favorite after dinner drink is a Bailey's in my coffee & also collect the lovely HAL glasses which the Bailey's are served in.. :) Pretty dull hmmm.

sue1898 Posted September 3, 2014 #11 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Another vote for espresso martini but lemon drop is a close second! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowPrincess Posted September 3, 2014 #12 Share Posted September 3, 2014 With all the recommendations for an Espresso Martini, I had to look up the recipe. Oh yum! Going to try at least one of those the next time we cruise :D For the OP, I like mojitos, lime margaritas/salted rim/on the rocks, and cabana cosmos (I think that is the name, very similar anyway -- might be cosmo cabana?)

Alberta Quilter Posted September 4, 2014 #15 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Oh my gosh!:eek: I think I will have to try one, but I may not finish it, or it will finish me! At least with explore4, I won't feel too guilty. On our May/14 Alaska cruise, a bunch of us got together after sail away at the midship Lido bar. We all had the Explore4 and ordered our preferred drinks. After a bit, someone asked if anyone had tried a wang wang. Well, we ordered two wang wangs and 8 straws! (Keep in mind that everyone had the SBP so I don't think we were breaking any E4 rules.) The waiter brought us glasses and straws so one wang wang was portioned off into the other glasses. Honest, I think it was the one inch of a wang wang that sent me over the edge and not the three prior mojitos!!! I was never so glad to get to dinner to sober up!!! And that was Day 0!!:eek: Of course, when you have the SBP for free, that is when you can order drinks just to try them out. You may not like them but at least you tried them! So, go for it, try it out. If you like it, pace yourself - take it from me. If you don't like it, that's okay, too. Think of the calories you won't be consuming; you'll feel virtuous.

MagTravel Posted September 4, 2014 #17 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Mango Champagne Dream! We always start our cruise with a Tequila Sunrise but at some point in the trip I find my way to the Crow's Nest for at least one Mango Champagne Dream. Just writing about it makes me more ready for our upcoming November Caribbean cruise. I forgot about the Martini Flight....those are wicked good.

Alberta Quilter Posted September 4, 2014 #18 Share Posted September 4, 2014 OP, just an FYI, there is a Bloody Mary cart in the Lido from ~7:30 am to 10/10:30 am. They make Bloody Marys, Caesars and Mimosas. Those are covered by the SBP, too. Some call it the breakfast salad because of all of the items that you can have added to your beverage. I think they have about six items including shrimp, celery, horseradish, and some others that I can't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
