complawyer Posted January 22, 2023 #27 Share Posted January 22, 2023 i'm old, cranky and somewhat of a curmudgeon and set in my ways. give me a chivas on the rocks with a twist, an ice cold heineken and/or a glass of champagne and im good to go. i always comment, if by chance someone on my cruise wants to find me, im the one with the heineken in one hand and the glass of champagne in the other. of course the choice of mojitos in sugarcane is nothing to sneeze at either 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you misread the title of the thread old friend. It's asking about "favorite drink," not "favorite drunk." 🤣 That said, I have the feeling that if ever we do cross paths on a ship, we'll have a lot of fun although neither of us may win the title of favorite drunk. There's a LOT of competition out there, and your description of yourself likely intersects with a large portion of the typical cruise demographic (myself included, except I'm more of a Johnnie Walker drinker when it comes to scotch). 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeHeartCruising Posted January 22, 2023 #29 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I got rather fond of Rebellious Fish on my last NCL cruise. I don’t recall what was in it, but it was tasty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea saw 56 Posted January 23, 2023 #32 Share Posted January 23, 2023 We try to enjoy lots of different drinks onboard, since we always have the package, but our really favourite TREAT is the Bushwacker. The best ones we've had are on the ships that have an O'Sheehans. The Epic and Dawn had GREAT Bushwackers when we were aboard. Amaretto, Baileys, Kailua, Stohli's Vanilla Vodka and more made frozen in the consistency of a milkshake. We got in the habit of having one right after lunch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvis1209 Posted January 23, 2023 #37 Share Posted January 23, 2023 As far as I'm concerned (and nobody should listen to me!) my favorite drink, hands down, is a Belvedere martini, very cold. very dry, straight up with three olives. with martinis you have to exhibit a little discipline. I find I can't drink more than two without getting stupid! Not drunk, mind you, stupid! On my last cruise on Breakaway, my wife treated me to a Louis XIII cognac. That was a religious experience!

Sydneyberlin Posted January 23, 2023 #39 Share Posted January 23, 2023 We love French champagne and can easily down the equivalent of 3 bottles over rye cause of one day and night which is the prime reason for always getting the premium plus package, we love it. But it sounds as if this is specifically about cocktails: I love my morning Bloody Mary while my other half prefers Mimosa (with French champagne, of course, preferably Veuve). By the pool, it’s Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri for me and frozen Mudslide for him. In the evening, I’m partial to a dirty Vodka Martini or just a double Scottish Malt Whisky. We also enjoy wines with dinner and are quite curious about the beer bar on our upcoming Encore cruise in April. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acct1975 Posted January 23, 2023 #41 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I might be called odd but I like to Botanical Spritz. It's basically a vodka soda but with a grapefruit twist to it. I like this on days I want to watch my calories (so I can enjoy the buffet LOL) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzydiver Posted January 23, 2023 #44 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I tried the Saturn Landing and really liked it. An interesting mix of bitter and sweet with a nice fruit flavor. It's available in the Sugarcane mojito bar (look at the list of non-mojito cocktails). I would have had more of those but was still working on getting my beer count up at the District Brewhouse. Speaking of which, the Hoegaarten beer is very good and my husband talked it up so much to the friends were we making at that bar that it seemed like every other time we went in there, the staff was having to re-fill the Hoegaarten tap (change out the keg, refill it, however that works). 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three basic food groups on a cruise. Oh yeah, DD orders Prosecco for me at lunch and dinner.😎 I have tried drinking that other stuff, but I really haven't been able to get the point. I'll occasionally mix in a Grey Goose screwdriver. I call it the screwed goose, but it really hasn't caught on. 🤣 Here’s a corny old riddle for you, Chief. if a screwdriver is OJ and vodka, what is milk of magnesia and vodka? a Phillips screwdriver 🤣🤣🤣 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a big fan of the First-Morning-at-Sea Bloody Mary. Thanks for calling out the Rum Cake though. That's a yummy one, too. Got that at Shakers on Epic a couple of times. Which bar has this menu? Would love to try french raspberry in March on the Escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trish4bruce Posted January 24, 2023 #49 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Love the Old Fashioned made in Maltings, the added twist of using maple syrup makes it delicious. Maltings also use to make a Jack Daniels Honey lemonade that was delicious. Someone posted in another thread thought that NCL no longer has Jack Daniels Honey onboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
