Close but not exactly as it implies that Cointreau is in the same amounts as the other ingredients.

==================

Chairman of the Board

 

3 parts Grey Goose Vodka
3 parts Bombay Sapphire Gin
1 part Cointreau
Chilled over ice and strained

==================

I agree this is a great drink! Some get it with olives but I always have it with a twist. Today is Thursday. We sail on Saturday. Guess what I will order for my sail away drink.

Thank you for correcting the amounts. It is our favorite drink, but can't imagine how sweet it would be with 3 parts Cointreau!

I only seldom drink beer, but my wife likes an Iron Butterfly.

Ingredients:

- 1 shot Vodka

- 1 shot Kahlua

- 1 shot bailey’s Irish Cream

Pour vodka over ice in an old-fashioned glass. Add kahlua and irish cream, and stir. Garnish with 1 - 3 optional filbert nuts.

I had this in Crooners last cruise on Emerald and it was called a Milky Way martini!

It's actually quite good. Neither the vodka nor the gin overpowers the other. The Cointreau makes it perfect. I think it's terrible with olives (although some like it that way) but great with a twist - especially if the bartender rims the glass with the twist and then really gives it a great big twist over the top of the liquor before dropping it in. Chris in Wheelhouse on Emerald last October consistently made the very best ones I have ever had.

North California coastal?? We were on that cruise too. Kept telling them in Elite lounge event that we missed the Chairman of the Board. Choices now are too sweet.

Vodka/Kahlua/Bailey's all my favorite drinks, this has got to be good.  Going to try and get it on my Alaskan cruise in May.

A Milky Way Martini should be a little different.

 

This is what I found on Google for a Milky Way Martini:

Chill a martini glass by filling it with 1/2 cup of ice and cold water. Place 1 cup of ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. Pour the vanilla-flavored vodka, white creme de cacao, and Irish cream liqueur over the ice; cover and shake vigorously. ... Strain the cocktail into the glass to serve.

For me - just Kahlúa over ice!

Do they serve this on Princess as well as Norwegian?

 

AFAIK they serve it everywhere on and off ships. But I rarely personally REMEMBER to order it unless I'm on vacation!

Nope. It was 28 days - Hawaii and South Pacific. October of 2017. Had the beverage package as a perk.

Hands down the Beverly Hills Ice Tea. We had them on the Coral and have been hooked since. We even bought the fixins for at home but they taste better on a cruise. Soon.
