tomservo Posted September 23, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 23, 2019 When you get a mixed drink or cocktail from the Diamond Lounge during Happy Hour, or from another bar on the ship using one of the 3 free drinks on your Sea Pass, what's your favorite drink to get? How creative have you gotten, given the liquor restrictions? Looking for drink ideas beyond the standard rum and coke. Here's a copy of a recent Happy Hour Drink Menu for reference.

You can do Martinis during happy hour? Any limit to what kind? My wife loves espresso Martinis (which I'm guessing is probably not covered).

GratefulRIC Posted September 24, 2019 #17 Share Posted September 24, 2019 What’s the difference between a “Diamond” cocktail and a cocktail I can get with a paid drink package or cash account? Does it taste better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighairtexan Posted September 24, 2019 #18 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) Some may think it tastes better because it's free --if you're Diamond or above. Edited September 24, 2019 by bighairtexan 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it taste better? Diamond lounge or voucher drinks are generally made with lowest end wine or liquor. If you are getting a mixed cocktail it might not matter. But if you prefer a drink over ice, perhaps a non flavored martini or a decent glass of wine, a paid drink is better. Plus, Diamond drinks are only available for specific hours in the evening.

Rare kernow Posted September 24, 2019 #24 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Cosmo or Lemon Drop, I prefer both made with gin rather than vodka. Some bartenders will also make a Bellini which I also enjoy before dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted September 24, 2019 #25 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I vote for the lemon drop martini, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
