I love to get a BBC (Bailey's Banana Colada) to get the cruise started.  One sip takes me to the islands!

I keep saying I'm going to try that one but haven't done it yet.

Strawberry Blonde!

I tried one of these on Serenade back in August.  I quite like it and had quite a few.

Isn't that a Cape Codder?

No. Countreau and lime juice in addition to cranberry in a Cosmo.

I guess my palette isn't very refined. Laura's cosmos taste like strong Cape Codders to me.

Had one last night. Training for our trip to Brazil. Taste was OK, but the smell was horrible 😱

 

 

 

Wierd.

 

Lime, sugat, cachaca.

 

I wonder if they used an off brand.  Or old limes.

What is in this? I had a drink at Boleros the first time i was on En or Ex (cant remember which one has a Boleros) and the waiter keep telling me 'Chipirosca' so i wouldnt forget but no one ever knows what I am talking about when I ask for it. 

 

Caipirinha is lime and sugar (muddled together) add ice and cachaca (sugar cane alcohol) and shake.

 

A Caipiroska is the same thing, but using vodka instead of cachaca.

 

Cachaca is different from rum in that they ferment the sugar cane juice.  For rum, the boil the sugar cane juice to make molasses, then cut that with water and ferment.

 Discovered this Drink when I seen this Bottle sitting behind the bar at  Boleros. Asked what it was and they made me one. Not on the top of my list, but was  Interesting.

 

 

They can vary by the bartender.  Some put in a bit more lime.  Some put in more or less sugar.

 

To be made properly, it should be done with sugar, NOT simple syrup.  And I think they taste better when they use lime wedges, not slices.  A bit more lime oil from the skin.

Actually, you can make Contreau in a similar process to Limoncello. With the sous vide

Limes were fine, the booze is stinky

That will teach me to try to make a joke out sous vide.😯

Low end Cachaça is pretty stinky. I'm sure Royal goes for the cost savings.

I hear you - the last one I had I was wondering if it was made like this;

That is a brand I found when I first discovered Cachaça. Although I had enjoyed a few Caipirinhas in an island bar, I sincerely regretted the purchase of that brand of Cachaça when I returned home.

You have just stepped on your cruise ship, what is the first drink you order?  There are so many delicious drinks!!

Fosters in an oil can!!!

[GEORGIEGIRL]

Hendricks Gin with "Sprite" Zero.

 

MMMMMMM Good.

Like several others, the BBC is my drink of choice. Aside from the fact that’s it’s fruity and delicious, it’s one of the few drinks I only order while on a cruise. Make sure the bartender uses a fresh banana. Sooo much better that way.

[shofer]

A BBC for sure.  I usually only have one per cruise.  We are Diamond for the first time on this cruise so will have some free drinks on our card.  I may actually get crazy and have that second drink.

[Smartipantz]

I can't wait for our cruise and try some of these new drinks!!!
