Want to try "BEE'S KNEES"?

[yoshi]

We are cruising in December on the Majestic and got the beverage package with the special offer. I saw Bees Knees on a drink menu that I really want to try (Blue Sapphire gin, honey syrup and lemon juice). Are there any other favorite Princess cocktails that I should try, with seven days I want to try 7 new drinks!

I want to try everything. It’s a good opportunity when you have beverages included. If you don’t like something it’s not a big deal. I saw some people online who went to good spirits everyday of their cruise and if you try all 10 drinks and collect the recipe cards they’ll give you a T-shirt. And I thought that seemed kind of fun.

I'll have to check out the Good Spirits Bar but then I would need to double up on some days I guess 🍸 Cheers!

Found it; Grey Goose Vodka, Bombay Sapphire Gin, Bacardi Superior Rum, Patron Silver Tequila, St. Germain's Liqueur, sparkling wine, simple syrup and fresh lemon. Oh boy, that will put me out early!

DH 💖s a Dirty Banana.

If you like something light and 'clean', try a caipirinha. It's nothing particularly fancy, but it uses a base that's pretty hard to find in a lot of places (cachaca).

Found the Dirty Banana on the POOL MENU; Gosling's Dark Rum, Kahlua, Patron XO Cafe Liqueur, cream, chocolate syrup, fresh banana. Wow, dessert for sure!

BTW the Captains Bounty mentioned above from JDACombe was on the pool menu too and features Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum, Malibu Coconut Rum, Bacardi Limon Rum, Kraken Rum, sweet & sour, pineapple juice, Coca Cola-another dangerous dessert!

Never heard of that one, but does appear on the Piazza Bar Menu; Leblon Cachaca, simple syrup, fresh lime. I will have to try this because I have no idea what cachaca tastes like.

I’m really hoping that Good Spirts can make a Ramos Gin Fizz. I’m sailing 12/11. Fingers crossed.

I couldn't find that on the Princess menus but looked it up, not sure if they would do the egg whites thing? Does sound like a good one though 🍸 Cheers

I know they have egg whites as one of their listed drinks has it, The Great Pumpkin.  A gin fizz is delicious all on its own, the Ramos gin fizz is that much better.

I can’t remember there being many gin cocktails on any of the menus on either regal or Sky but can definitely recommend the dirty banana, it’s like a alcoholic milk shake, now fed up as got to wait until June for another one😂

That's 2 votes for Dirty Banana! (with JF-RRT Retired)  🍸Cheers

[Cuedon]

Careful about that Dirty Banana though... the last two times I ordered it, I got a Peach Martini and a coffee with Kahlua! 🙄 (Wasn't paying, so whatever, but... okay!)

Curious, did you order at the bar or through the medallion app?

[MustangGT]

Another vote for the Dirty Banana!  Yum!!

Server doing the rounds at the casino. And it was actually on a HAL ship, but it's a fun enough story, nonetheless. (And same parent company.)

they don't have orange blossom water. BUT I brought my own orange blossom water (I also use it as a facial toner) when I was on Holland and the bartender made it for me so I am going to try again on Princess. It is my very favorite drink

Casino mix-up makes sense, at least all the drinks sounded yummy. But now the Dirty Banana votes are up to 3 so I really do need to try it!

It’s my favorite as well.  Thank you for the heads up on brining the Orange blossom water.
