Jareds_mommytoo Posted November 25, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I am looking for suggestions and description of some new drinks to try. I’m not a fan of super sweet drinks, but I go to the bar with every intention of trying something new, then draw a blank, get the deer in the headlight look and order a beer or a caesar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ski ww Posted November 25, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Ask for a Wang Wang, it's not on the menu but all the bartenders know how to make on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted November 25, 2018 #3 Share Posted November 25, 2018 We don't care for those fruity drinks. Just a good Grey Goose on the rocks -- nothing in it like a wedge of lemon or lime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakman58 Posted November 25, 2018 #5 Share Posted November 25, 2018 My favorite is a Bushwacker. It's like an adult chocolate shake. Unfortunately it's very filling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare POA1 Posted November 25, 2018 #7 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Ours our very complicated. Maker's Mark (bourbon) on the rocks for me. Ketel and soda with lime for Huskerchick. Although sometimes she'll get two limes for added craziness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randyk47 Posted November 25, 2018 #11 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I guess we stay with pretty standard drinks. I prefer gin martinis dry and Mrs K usually drinks rum and coke. During the summer we fix gin and tonics for around the pool and occasionally will have a margarita or mojito. We pretty much drink the same thing on our cruises. Will say because we’ve been cruising on Silversea a lot in the past few years and hang out at the pool bar we’ve tried several other specialty drinks but since Silversea is all-inclusive we’ve never felt bad about trying and not liking a specialty drink.

They are not a "Canadian" tasting Caesar because of the clamato/tomato juice mix they use, but they will make them spicey and they are relatively decent. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlsSalt Posted November 25, 2018 #15 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) Tropa-Mango-Mojito - our traditional one and only drink during the first sail away toast, after muster we tip our glasses to the start of another grand adventure. It is a tall, frou frou drink with a straw - not something one would order at a cowboy bar. But it is minty, fresh, frozen slush that requires slow sipping, as we enjoy the ship sailing off to new horizons from the Crow's Nest vantage point.

Overhead Fred Posted November 25, 2018 #17 Share Posted November 25, 2018 This link has been referenced many times on the HAL boards - http://www.rogerjett-photography.com/specialty-2/hal-regular-and-specialty-restaurants/hal-beverage-menus It shows most, if not all, cocktails available in the various bars along with brief descriptions. If you like gin and tonics, give the Blue Florida (Crows Nest) a try. Not only is it a beautiful drink (I have had many people ask me about it as I was sipping one) but it is very refreshing. The Gin's Cup is another herbaceous delite (Sea View Bar). I also recommend the Tanqueray 0010 martini, the Seattle Sunset (a little like a Manhattan with Campari added), and the Rusty Knot (bourbon and elderflower). And I agree with taxmantoo that the Tuscan Lemon Drop is a winner. Hmmm........, maybe I am spending too much time at the Happy Hours!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randyk47 Posted November 25, 2018 #19 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Mrs K was reading this thread over my shoulder and reminded me of coral lemon drops which one of her favorites. It was a specialty drink on the Oosterdam some 10 years ago and Michael in the Crow’s Nest taught her how to make them. We still have them occasionally and again this thread reminded Mrs K to maybe make some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAD2005 Posted November 25, 2018 #22 Share Posted November 25, 2018 We have Canadian friends that we cruise with, and they always order a "Bloody Caesar" and 99% of the time, they do have the Clamato Juice to make it. The Wang Wang has 8 different types of alcohol in it. Here's the ingredients courtesy of Copper 10-8. 1/4 oz Vodka 1/4 oz Gin 1/4 oz White Rum 1/4 oz Scotch 1/4 oz Bourbon 1/4 oz Tequila 1/4 Triple Sec 1/4 oz Brandy Top it off with Pineapple and Orange Juice Add a splash of Grenadine and let the games begin! And, amazingly, the drink is included in the Signature Beverage Package !! But I still like an ice cold Heineken on draft. Available in the Lido Bar, Seaview Bar, and the Gallery Bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted November 26, 2018 #23 Share Posted November 26, 2018 A quality New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, such as Villa Maria which HAL does serve, is now my standard adult beverage. Happy Hour often finds me ordering a double CC/Sprite; I do enjoy Canadian whisky. (And, my taste buds prefer CC over Royal Crown.) Tropical beverages: a well prepared Pina Colada or a Miami Vice is delightful. On one Caribbean cruise, I decided to do an "on-shore" Rum Punch Tasting at each port we visited. It was very interesting meeting/speaking with the bartenders at the various locations and enjoying their Rum Punch beverage. On that cruise, the winner was a vendor in the port area where the ship was docked at St. Lucia. Not the same cruise, but a Rum Punch that I had during a cruise when we docked at Tortola was truly superior! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
