[mom2bcr]

What's in a Mango Tango??? Looks AMAZING!!!:D

[Sports Mama]

Hiccup Hiccup :p !!! Boy oh boy does that Mango margarita look good. Thanks for the pictures. May have to try the Mango Tango. Oh, my goodness I may be the one person on the FOS next week weaving around trying all of the drinks. I must pace myself.:D

[juniorsmom]

I go for a C.C. and a D.C. (Canadian Club and Diet Coke):)

[Lgarth]

Ahhhh, yes the Mango Tango, yummy and also the Yellow Bird is tasty too:D

[Arizona Laura]

Did see this recipe below but mainly Mango Tango is 1/2 pina colada and 1/2 mango daq.

 

MANGO TANGO

 

1st part of drink:

1 oz. dark rum

1 oz. coconut cream

1 oz. pineapple juice

 

Blend with crushed ice.

 

2nd part of drink:

1 oz. dark rum

1 1/2 oz. mango concentrate

1/2 oz. orange juice

 

***As always variations in these drinks.

 

Kiss On The Lips...grenadine/mango mix/peach schnapps

Miami Vice..1/2 strawberry daq and 1/2 pina colada

[GrammyJill]

Mojito made with tequilla instead of rum. No rum for me.

 

Now granted this isn't a sail away thing but I love going out on the pool deck that 2nd morning after breakfast & having a bloody mary. That is just the epitome of being of vacation for me........ 7 more weeks...... :D

We like a Teqihut Margarita...............................................

[satxdiver]

We like a nice bottle of wine shared on our balcony as we leave port.

:D :D :D

I spend a lot of time on these boards getting great ideas and tips! Too much time:p . Sorry if I have overlooked this as a post, but...

 

We are sailing next Saturday on the Explorer to Bermuda.. can we get some ideas for your favorite drinks so to kick off our vacation as we sail away! ;) Just want to get some ideas!

Thanks to all!

Sue

I usually try to do a regional drink for where the cruise is headed...since you are going to Bermuda may I suggest the following. Order from the Bar and not the waitstaff:

 

Bermuda Bouquet...Juice of 1/4 orange and 1/2 lemon. 1 tsp sugar, 1 1/2 oz gin, 1 oz apricot-flavored brandy, 1tsp grenadine 1/2 tsp triple sec. Shake with ice, strain into a highball glass with ice cubes.

 

Bermuda Highball

3/4 oz gin 3/4 oz brandy 3/4 oz vermouth

Pout into highball glass over ice cubes. Fill with giner ale or carbonated water. Add a twist of lemon peel and stir.

 

Bermuda Rose

1 1/4 oz Gin, 1 1/2 tsp apricot-flavord brandy 1 1/2 tsp grenadine

Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass. (Martini glass)

Mine would be a Mango Daiquari (sp?) with a floater of 151 or Myers rum...yum, yum.

[hmsdos]

Well... since you might board early.... might start with a bloody... and then for sail away... a nice (white chocolate) martini:D

[phillychick]

I have a tradition that it's got to be a Blue drink. So any drink that is blue will do!!! Gotta carry on the tradition!! :D

 

Barbara from Philly

[joan_al]

Two shots of JD with a beer. 7-8 of these work pretty good............:D

[Cruising89143]

Someone on the Monarch turned me on to mojotos!! So now....that is the first drink that I will order.............before muster. It makes the drill go by so much faster!! :D :) :D

 

Rick

 

Rick, I agree that those are very good. I do not like mint so I was undecided but after trying one I knew that this was something really good.:)

[pmfan]

It would have to be Miami Vice. :)

[rvcastle]

Does anyone have the recipe for a Kiss on the Lips ? I love them on the ship and would like to make them at home.

Thanks

I like to order a Love Connection from the Pool Bar for sail away. DH and I have a routine, one of us takes the life jackets back to the cabin while the other heads up to the pool bar to secure two seats so we can start our sail away celebration.

[christineann]

Miami Vice

 

and for my daughter, a Miami Nice

[christineann]

Fort Lauderdale, Enchantment of the Seas 5/31/08

 

Now I'm thirsty.......

[dwdwnurse]

It would have to be a Bahama Mama for me and a Long Island Iced Tea for my DH!

 

Oh, how I wish I were at sailaway right now...:o Suffering from major PCD, lol!

[CruisenLexie]

RCI....Coco Loco....but I'm going to write all these down so I can try them in March!

Isn't Love Connection Strawberry Daq/Pina Colada then Mango Slush?

That's it, thanks for posting the picture, brings back such fond memories.

[ScottC4746]

Any "port/destination requests" List your Destination or port you are leaving from and I will look up a drink for you.

[CL-JW]

Our sailaway drink of choice is a margarita (frozen, not on the rocks). We always have one in hand for sailaway.

 

Have a great time on your cruise!
