June Alaska Cruise Cocktail

[ScottC4746]

So I have booked an Alaskan cruise 7 nights on Holland America Oosterdam with a balcony.  Is there a nice regional cocktail for the evenings?  First thing that comes to mind is hot toddy.

Well not sure about a balcony drink but I will suggest if you stop in Juneau, go to the Red Dog Saloon and have a Duck Fart.  Nice shooter and a fun place

HAL has always had a "drink of the day". Just how "regional" it is might be subject to interpretation. On our June 2019 cruise, they had 4 Alaskan beers...sold out of 3.

HAL has bottled Alaskan beers from the Alaska Brewing Company plus several Alaskan drafts.  Here is a photo of the available Alaskan Brewing Company beers:

I'm not much of a beer drinker.  When I do it is only Shiner Bock from Texas.  I was more curious as to mixed drinks.

Chances are it would probably contain Fireball !!

The Alaskan cruises that I have been on (in addition to Alaskan beer) usually will have a special drink for glacier viewing days—and it’s always a hot drink!  Coffee or hot cocoa with alcohol (Baileys, whiskey, etc).  Usually people on deck and in observation lounges are serving them to you while you’re viewing.  Sometimes they’re in souvenir mugs.  Don’t recall a regional cocktail but they may have been.  I’m a martini and red wine gal!

 

Second the suggestion to go try a Duck Fart.  Red Dog Saloon is a great place to try it but you can get it in most bars in Alaska.

On a couple of Alaska cruises we've done they brought glacier ice onboard and made drinks with it at one of the bars.  That might be nice.
