gjkov Posted January 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 18, 2018 i am interested in people’s favorite drinks onboard. We seem to get into a “same old” rut with cocktails and would be fun to try some others. I’ve made note of a few mentioned by Wes and others in other threads, but would enjoy any suggestions. We mainly drink vodka, rum and gin (and an occasional margarita), but DH enjoys a nice whiskey or brandy drink sometimes too. After dinner/nightcap cocktail suggestions welcome also!

Robb Posted January 18, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Try a Pimm's Cup.............nice and refreshing.....:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb Posted January 18, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 18, 2018 After dinner.....Chambord on the rocks or with cream. Yummy, better than a lot of desserts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelcat2 Posted January 18, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Mexican Butterfly. Refreshing tequila drink (ask for Don Julio or Patron tequila). It is on Regent's menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkMEB Posted January 18, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Mexican Butterfly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelcat2 Posted January 18, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Another one that sounds gross but is delicious is a chocolate martini. Great for dessert and I heard somewhere that there are no calories if you drink chocolate:evilsmile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cAPS lOCK oN Posted January 18, 2018 #10 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Our afternoon favorite, the Aperol Spritz! Very light and refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ2002 Posted January 18, 2018 #11 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I will also suggest the Mexican Butterfly. They usually serve it up, but I started getting mine on-the-rocks, which I preferred. It comes with a salted rim, which of course you can decline if you are watching your sodium intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1982CruzStart Posted January 18, 2018 #12 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Try Baileys and hot water. May not sound good but a shot or 2 of baileys in a mug and filled with hot water is delicious. My answer to a hot drink as i don't drink coffee at all. As well a champagne cocktail made of champagne and chambord is lovely. These are two of my favorites, the first one after dinner and the 2nd one before dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winters Gate Posted January 18, 2018 #13 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Do they make nice martinis on Regent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich48100 Posted January 18, 2018 #14 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Try the Vesper martini of James Bond fame. Had it on Voyager on our last cruise. GOOD!! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelcat2 Posted January 18, 2018 #15 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Do they make nice martinis on Regent? Yes but make sure to tell the bartender what kind of gin or vodka to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Zqueeze1 Posted January 19, 2018 #16 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I have to go with Hendricks Gin and Fever Tree tonic. Although Fever Tree is not served onboard, I preordered it for our recent cruise and there it was looking all pretty in our cabin when we first arrived.

Rare Zqueeze1 Posted January 19, 2018 #18 Share Posted January 19, 2018 That’s good to know. Couldn’t find it in any of the bars last November onboard Mariner. Let’s hope this change is now fleet-wide. Z and TB Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjkov Posted January 19, 2018 Author #19 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Great suggestions! We also love Fever Tree tonic and requested some for our cabin. It would be great if it was available in some of the bars also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudhen Posted January 19, 2018 #20 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Ditto all of the above! We pre ordered Fever Tree for the cabin on our Amazon trek. I personally like my Hendrick's with a little less floral tonic....thought the FT competed with the herbal Hendrick's....BUT loved the FT with a good quality vodka! It would be a great and wonderful thing, if Regent now had it across the line! If, per chance, Alex is tending bar in the Ob bar (or anywhere) ask him for a Jade Blade. It'll make him laugh (hopefully!). Tell him the crazy ladies from the Amazon sent you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we find Alex and can enjoy a Jade Blade 😀 DH prefers vodka tonics too. I am a Tanqueray girl. Do the staff all wear name tags so they can be addressed by name? I like when that’s the case. And do they move between the ships or mainly stay with one ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hksilverfox Posted January 19, 2018 #22 Share Posted January 19, 2018 We are on the Explorer at the end of the month and I have made a list of all the drinks! Looking forward to trying them all but preferably over the 10 days! Some interesting looking concoctions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do they move between the ships or mainly stay with one ship? Not only do they wear name tags, they all got larger ones last year with a larger font and more contrast - MUCH easier to read, especially in the lounges. Makes me feel less like the creepy old guy when I'm trying to read some young lady's name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
