Good Bourbon Old Fashion on the Mardi...

[topaz123]

KInda a stickler for a good boubon OLD FASHION cocktail.  Had the worst ever on the Horizon at the bar on the entrance way.  Did have a 100% perfect Old Fashion at the Bar B Que Bar....perfect, hand mixed, even smoked if ya want ( did not try this). Top shelf bourbon....excellent. Now...any suggestions on the perfect Old Fashion on the Mardi Gras?

The better bourbon selection is at Pig & Anchor bourbon bar -- they have a smoked one there too.

 

If you want a traditional Old Fashioned, or even a Sazaerac, they're both truly authentic at The Brass Magnolia. And buy authentic, I mean they aren't muddling maraschino cherries and oranges to start off the cocktail.

Yes, indeed....at the Pig n Anchor on the Horizon, they do the from scratch, mortar n pestle grind, etc. Fantastic...thanks for the  info....

As above....the P&A is the spot for anything related to bourbon or Bloody Mary's.

Im partial but if im ordering top shelf bourbon im getting it neat.  

 

Otherwise Buffalo Trace is more than fine.  

 

Alchemy?

As I recall BT was the bourbon at Alchemy.  Most of the specialty drinks are vodka and gin  and rum based.  But there could be another lurking in the back shelf.

P&A should have Basil Hayden's,  Blanton's, Woodford Reserve, Eagle Rare, Elijah Craig Small Batch.

Steakhouse bar has Woodford and Blanton's.

A friend of mine enjoyed the Bayou Smoke from the Fortune Teller bar and she is a big fan of old fashioneds.  Not sure if it was an old fashioned or just something she liked.

Pig and Anchor has the best bourbon selection on any ship I've been on.  Alchemy makes a solid one too.

I got great Old Fashioned drinks from the Brass magnolia. I had mine made with Woodford Reserve and it was always a great drink. I got more of them than any other.

I dont recall ever seeing blantons at sea. Ill be sure to grab a couple this weekend if i see it.

Bayou Smoke is Cognac, satsuma liqueur (rum and satsuma fruit juice) and bitters.  Not an old fashion.  But pretty good.

P&A will have it.  Some days they will run out towards the end of the day and not restock until the morning so it is in some sort of limited quantity.

The bar at the Steakhouse will almost certainly have Blanton's. Husband has recently had it on the Magic, Valor and Horizon. Most people don't seem to know that you can go to the bar in the Steakhouse without having a reservation. I don't think you can eat there, but you can definitely get access to their wine and spirits list.

Love Blanton's ..but ANGEL's ENVY is my top choice.....smoooooooooooooooooth....

That sounds yummy!  I like the Caribbean Manhattan at Alchemy, not on the menu but the mixologists can make it.  It does have a Luxardo cherry which I love😃

I will check this out in November.  Thank you. 

I loved that Alchemy had a Luxardo cherry.  They also had Woodford on the Dream.

When did the Alchemy Bar switch to Luxardo.  I’ve only seen them use Filthy Cherries.

Maybe they are Filthy Cherries, it tastes like Luxardo to me.  I usually get 3 of them in my Caribbean Manhattan.  Practically dessert!😄
