Martini Selections

[roe2ship]

I just love the those stylish glasses with the trendy colors as a cocktail before dinner. Does Princess offer a wide variety of Martinis? Any particular one that is so delicious and should not be missed? Thanks

Crooners on the Island Princess had tons of wonderful sounding martinis, we tried the Dean Martin, it is a dirty martini, olive juice and 4, yes 4 whopper olives, a sour apple martini, YUM, a lemon martini, glass was rimmed in sugar crystals, my friend fell in love with the banana martinis, didn't sound good to me, but she loved them.

Early one morning on the Golden (10-ish) the bartenders had a martini demonstration in the atrium and passed out !free samples! What a great way to start the day.

ahracer,

Celebrity has a martini called a French Martini that has Vodka, Chambord and a splash of pineapple juice - Is this similar to the Vodka and Chambord that Princess has - it was yummy.

Also Celebrity had a citris martini - sounds similar to the lemontini.

I loved them both...I can't wait.

My wife liked the Very Berry Martini. I liked the Chairman of the Board. I've been looking for a drink she'd like and have now found one. Now I can work on getting her "liquored up" so I can take advantage of her

First Anniversary on the Sun Princess in

 

One last cruise before the anklebiters come along. Bangkok to Beijing on the Sapphire Princess.

 

We got hitched at sea in November, 2003 Aboard the Golden Princess

 

Kept the sea-legs on an Alaska Sampler on the Diamond Princess May, 2004

[rob_ n_tam]

I think the martini with vodka and chambord is called the Midnightini. Very yummy!

 

I found the prices to be very reasonable at less than $5.00 each.

[wyeanni]

They also make a killer chocolate martini- made with Cream de Cocoa and rimed with cocoa--Yum

Now it is coming back to me the French Martini is Vodka, Chambord and Pineapple. The Midnightini is Vodka and Chambord. Both are very good.

On the Caribbean Princess they also had a great eye-opening Bloody Mary special a few mornings! The young lady working in the gift store was willing to pay me for it...lucky for me she was only kidding.

 

Have a great cruise.....

Ok here's a question for you martini lovers

 

I don't drink hard liquor ( I think you're only allowed to drink just so much in a lifetime and I took care of that in college) and think of Martinis as simply cold shots of booze which is about as appealing as drinking gasoline to me.

 

Is there some kind of Martini of all those mentioned here or readily available that are smooth and tasty for someone like me with a kid-like pallate?

 

Or is there some code word that bartenders know and I don't that would tell them to put water in my glass and I will pretend to be joining the crowd?

 

Happy Cruising

At Crooners on the Coral I bought a deck of playing cards, each of which is a martini recipe. The Midnightini Express is 4 parts stolichnaya vodka, and 2 parts chambord. Lemontini is 5 parts absolute citron, 1 part sweet & sour. My favorite was the bishop's mitre - 4 parts stoli, 1 part grand marnier and 1 part orange juice. If anyone wants another recipe, let me know and I'll see if it's on the cards.

We also like the Chairman of the Board.

 

Try the Chambord with Absolut Kurrant. Divine. Emeril makes it topped with white grapes semi-dipped in white chocolate, served with shortbread. Superb dessert for dinner party with martini afficionados.

 

Paisley Park is also a favourite.

Chris - the secret to a good martini is good vodka... cheap vodka will not help that 'kid-pallate'. And probably a sweeter one would do wonders... even something as simple as a Cosmopolitan ! Remember... good vodka is key ! And of course, you'll get many different opinions on 'good vodka'. My preference ? Grey Goose

BJ and all.....are there any receipes using vanilla vodka..I was given a half gallon of Skyy Vanilla and have tried it in a couple things. Even once when I was desperate, a Bloody Mary....yuck! Any Ideas?

"is it happy hour yet ?"

[pipermary]

Hmmm....Beefeater gin; extra dry; olives and or onions; straight-up. Yes, that's my martini of choice!

[jemingway]

My wife goes for the Cosmos, but, like Chris, I need Heineken. Oh well, there's always Corona...well, not exactly ...sounds like a red wine cruise to me.

Chris tell the BarTender Wendy said water and you will get water in a martini glass - no ice - shaken not stirred.
