Cocktail recommendation

G'day!

Can you please recommend some great cocktails you have had in Norwegian? We will be cruising Norwegian Sun in a few days.

Thanks 🙂

I usually stick with the Classic Old Fashioned & Whiskey Highball & sometimes with the Martinis whereas my wife prefers Mojitos. This time we have taken the free at sea open bar and hope to try some other mixes. What are your favorites?

Espresso martini at the Observation Lounge, Eastern Legacy at Maltings, BBC poolside, and the Coco mojito at Sugarcane.

When on a cruise, The Bird has the philosophy of drinking all of the foo foo drinks that you wouldn't be caught dead ordering in your local bar. Anything frozen and fruity!  And a Frose (frozen/slushy wine) at the pool bar.

My DH prefers beer but he will treat himself to one frozen mudslide on a cruise.

I fell in love with caipirinhas on my last cruise.  They had a nice pineapple surplus drink that I had by the pool.  Enjoyed the botanical spritz.  We sampled a few martinis as well that I liked (rum cake, basil cucumber).

Did the serve frozen drinks by the pool?

Instructions for getting a great cocktail on NCL.

 

1 Find the Sugarcane Mojito bar

2 Take a seat, catch the barpersons eye.

3 Order a Raspberry and Guava Mojito

4 Watch the barperson prepare this nectar.

5 Drink

6 Sit a while and wonder why you've never discovered this cocktail before

7 Order another one.

While classier than the punch bowls they used to have by the bar, avoid any tap cocktails.  They are way too sweet and pack zero punch.

that’s one i want to try

I always enjoy a nice frozen drink in the sun.  Dirty Bananna  has been  my favorite.

My best drinks have been those the bartender made for me. I don't drink one particular drink. I drink whatever's put in front of me. The outdoor Sugarcane Mojito Bar is the finest bar on the ship as it's outside, with a view.

 

Since the Sun doesn't have a Sugarcane, I'd be going to Champs since it's outside, facing the ocean.

Aperol spritz.   Big, sassy looking drink.  If it’s too bitter for you ask them add a splash of sprite.

I like tweaking drinks on the menu to see how a change impacts the flavor. One of my go to's is changing a Moscow Mule from Vodka to Crown. Although I think Crown is now a plus charge.

I enjoy the Kentucky Mule - Bourbon instead of vodka with an orange slice

Hendricks on the rocks.

Crown is a surcharge now, for your convenience, of course.

I like having a miami vice to start off the cruise, and finding bartenders to make me a frozen grasshopper for dessert. 

 

If you're lucky and find a nice bartender willing to experiment, just tell them what you're in the mood for. Something with amaretto, something refreshing, something fruity, something strong...

 

Hard to guide you when there's so many different types of drinks and we have no idea what you like.

I had (ahem, several) Grey Goose and tonics on my last NCL cruise and they were super duper refreshing!  I plan to stick with those mostly on my upcoming Sun cruise. But I'm curious to try the Espresso Martini. ....  ☺️

[FabFam]

Anyone know if the champagne bar serves decent bubbly?  

 

thanks in advance!

 

[Davechipp74]

A nice morning Bloody Mary on a cruise is the way to go.
