Cruise Cocktails

[mangomonkey]

I had lots of yummy cocktails...

 

The Long Island Iced Tea was fabulous. Passionfruit Cosmopolitan was not bad either.

Right now, I'm craving... Pina Coladas!!

[ShakyBeef]

My absolute favourite (have only had it on Norwegian Pearl, but had SEVERAL) is the lychee sake-tini! Lychee liqueur and sake in a martini glass with a lychee (fruit) marinating in the bottom. :D So yummy. And strong. I wonder if Carnival has these? :rolleyes:

[kitkat09]

We always have to try the Drink of the Day....but you can't beat a cold Bud Light!

 

Here here!

I agreee.

By the bucketful!

I enjoy an icy cold beer, so my favorite thing to do is order a "local brew" or two on every island we go to.:)

[wilts1954]

When Carol and I were on Independence in May, she loved the cocktail of the day when we arrived in Gibraltar called, appropriately enough, 'The Rocks (sic) of Gibraltar' - triple sec, peach schnapps, brandy, soda and a dash of coke!! Mind-numbing!! lol!!

 

For me - Mojito's - either the classic or a Raspberry one!!:D:D:D:D

On the subject of onboard drinks. Has anyone ever had the bartender add a "floater" on to their drink? I was told once that it was an extra shot of booze put on top of a frozen drink so that basically you got a "double" for a little more than the price of one drink.

I'll take a double Gin & Tonic, hold the Tonic..

 

 

Thats exactly how I like my Gin & Tonic. Actually if you add the tonic it becomes a foo-foo drink.

 

I pretty much stick to wine at night, but the first and last night of the cruise I get a JW Black Label on the rocks. I would do it every night, but I find with the red wine I drink at dinner my head is not so happy with the combo the next AM.

Usually go for the bucket of beer in the afternoon. Found last year the perfect drink on HAL's 2 for one Happy Hour: the Espresso Martini. one shot vanilla vodka; half shot kahlua; and half shot espresso liquer, plus three coffee beans to garnish representing Health, Wealth, & Happiness. Oh heaven (sigh). Just need to see if NCL can do that drink . . .

On Princess, it's a Beverly Hills Iced Tea. On Royal Caribbean, it's a rum and diet coke. Maybe wine with dinner once in a while.

 

Can't wait for March 30 to have my first BHIT in 3 years!

[Daddysbaby]

Daytime drink - Frozen slushy Lime Margarita

Dinner time drink - Red Wine

Night time drink - Blueberry Tea (as this is a Canadian drink I have to train the bartenders on every cruise!!)

 

And regarding "floaters" - sometimes Princess offers an extra shot with the Margarita - they float a shot of Grand Marnier over top - Yum!

Miami Vice...mmmmm.:D 

 

My favorite "sitting on a deck chair relaxing in the sun" drink. MMMM. Can't wait til next week!!!!

 

Apple-tinis never fail. I'm so curious about this "Kiss on the Lips". Does anyone have any recommendations for the Norwegian Pearl? I saw the prior recommendation for the sake drink. yum yum!

[kate5]

On Royal Caribbean I always drink gin & tonic and bloody mary! This is best two coctails ever!

[Norwaylin]

Although I don't drink much at home (very little), I tried a Yellow Bird on my first cruise on the SS Norway in 1983. Since then, that has been my "drink of choice." I have ordered other drinks ("Drink of the Day"), but prefer my Yellow Bird. I have made them at home a few times, but the ambiance is not the same. LOL. Wish I could book a cruise soon.

[toxicfairy]

In the mornings a BBC sitting in the sun!

 

In the evenings pretty much what I would drink at home: martinis.

 

 

OMG! I don't drink often or much, but when we were on the Freedom 3 years ago I got a BBC and LOVED it!! I have never heard any one else talk about them and was starting to think I made it up in my head :eek:

[algorithmannie]

In the Liberty of the Seas Champaign Bar they have a Sunset Bellini. It's wonderful! Champaign, Orange Juice, Grenadine, and maybe some other things? Really yummy!

[boozencruisen]

Found my new favorite drink on HAL a little over a year ago, the Weng Weng:

3/4 oz Vodka

3/4 oz Tequila

3/4 oz Brandy

3/4 oz Bourbon

3/4 oz Scotch Whiskey

3/4 oz Rum

cubes (Fill to Top) Ice

1 oz (Fill With) Orange Juice

1 oz (Fill With) Pine Apple Juice

dash Grenadine

 

 

Apparently they had taken it off of the drink menu because too many passengers were ordering it and getting trashed because despite all the liquor it just tastes like fruit juice. The crew members were still buying it and since I usually talk with them at the bars they "convinced" me to start drinking them...

 

Now I just have to hope that the other cruise line's bartenders know how to make it, and charge the same for it as a rum & coke like they did on HAL.

[spyder1]

I drink what I always drink Jim Beam and coke.

[MiamiSpartan]

We are partial to Martinis....My partner has exactly the same drink we have at home (Grey Goose, extra cold, no vermouth, 3 olives)...I'll usually try something new....

[GrammyJill]

Ok, Lets see

 

 

Between 9- 12 Bloody Mary's

 

Between noon and 4 a bucket of beer or two!

 

Back in the room by five for a shower for dinner, I will stop and get TWO YELLOWBIRDS" for a refreshing drink with the wife.

 

wine at our table for dinner.

 

then back to the room and a big bottle of water, change back into shorts, sandals, and a tank, then off to see a show, casino or whatever~

 

 

Go to bed and BEGIN ALL OVER AGAIN! Heck were on VACATION!:D

 

 

Tim

HA! Our day is almost identical! But, we will have wine instead of the yellowbirds, please & cocktails for the remainder!

 

Last cruise was spent in an idyllic alcohol related stupor~

 

On a cruise I do like a good Mojito & mandrin orange with diet sprite! Very refreshing on a hot afternoon.

[endymion6942]

Painkiller!

It must be made with Pussers Rum!!

[MILLERVILE]

I enjoy a good long island Ice tea. Our last Cruise on the Island Princess 1/19/10 the bartender had me try a Captains Bounty (my new drink) it's made with all rums and tastes like Ice tea also but better..MMM

try one you'll like it

Let Me know if anyone has had one. I have been cruising for twelve years and this year is the first time I have heard of these.
