Adult Beverages to try?

[JuliaMS]

What are some of the adult beverages we should try out? I always feel like there are some drinks at the pool we don't know exist. Or some specialty cocktail that is only in one bar that we didn't know to go looking for. Cheers!

Ask the bartender for recommendations, if you don't have a "favorite". I know what I like, so I stick to it, for the most part!

I enjoyed the "Red Velvet Cake" at the R-Bar on the Grandeur. It wasn't too sweet and had a nice taste of chocolate. (Limoncello, Creme de cacao dark, Creme de cacao white and strawberry puree)

A sure way to try different drinks is to always get the drink of the day. It changes every day so you will be able to try several different drinks during your cruise. Another method to learn which drinks are good is to sit at the bar. Ask your bartender what he/she would recommend. While you're sitting at the bar, watch what other people are ordering. If something looks good, ask the bartender what it is. If it sounds good, try one! My favorite drink on board is a Bahama Mamma. This is my first drink on every (Caribbean) cruise. This drink always puts me in "cruise mode", laid back and ready to relax for the week.

BBC (Bailey's Banana Collada) and caipirinha are my two new favorites from our sailing in December.

Frozen Blue Hawaiian or Miami Vice. I am not much of a frozen drink guy, but when by the pool, that's the way to go. SO these are my go to drinks in the Solarium. Just don't drink too fast, you'll get brain freeze.

Anything in a cup.

Great question/post!!! I always feel the same way - Like I’m missing out on some secret drink list. Lol! Can’t wait to try some of these next month. :)

Not really a cocktail, but after dinner...instead of coffee, I sometimes get a "Nutty Irish Coffee" (Frangelica, Baily's and coffee...topped with whipped cream).

I don't like frozen drinks so my favourite pool drink is a Goombay Smash, can't remember exactly what it contains but it's rum based and fruity.

Ice.......1 part coke......2 parts rum.............ENJOY! :) :) :)

YUM...just made a note to try this one when we sail on Freedom in May.

They both were. BBC became our Solarium and theatre production favorite.

Somebody posted a copy of the drinks allowed by the Ultimate Beverage Package -- I plan on looking them up & putting little stars next to the ones I want to try. :). My DH, on the other hand, plans to have a drink at every bar on the ship...

Wonder if they'll make me a Russian Colada.... Kahula and Vodka instead of Rum...:D:D

I think both ideas are great.... and worth trying! [emoji6]. If you find this list, would you mind posting it here to share? Would love to see it.

Passionfruit Sombrero...yum!

Some of the bars will have menus listing various drinks. Browse through those to see if there is something that sounds tempting.

Had Ultimate Drink Pkg on Allure in May. My absolute 2 faves: In English Pub, a Cherry Orchard (it had hard cider in it). From the Champagne Bar: a Key Lime Pie Martini. Delish!!

Not quite sure whether you're joking about the name, but the bartenders will make you pretty much anything you want (within reason). They may not know what a "Russian Colada" is, but would certainly be able to make you a Black Russian.

 

If by chance a bartender doesn't know the recipe for a cocktail you'd like, just let them know what's in it, and they'll do their absolute best to accommodate.

I'm shocked (and pleased) to hear they stock cachaça on-ship. :)

The Freedom Plaza Bar had it, but I'm not sure the smaller bars would.
