Drink recomendation

[jerseygirl79]

I normally don't drink (bad reflux), but I'd really like to enjoy myself with a drink or two on my next cruise (armed with plenty of Nexium).

 

I like froo froo, sweet, girly drinks that don't taste of strong alcohol.

 

Any suggestions of a drink (not water, virgin, or anything available for free)? :D

 

Thanks!

Try the "Kiss on the Lips"...... Peach Schnapps, Mango Puree and grenadine ..... pure heaven!!!!

[Senoj84]

I like the Banana Daiquiri, it's delish but it's not free. ;)

[wasiii]

.....get a Long Island Iced tea.

 

It's sweet, cold and you'll never taste any alcohol.

 

I can only tell you that for the first drink, I don't remember the other ones. ;)

Half strawberry daquiri and half pina coloda. Really looks pretty in the glass too!:D

I don't drink and I KNOW this isn't a girl drink, LOL. I heard you have to be careful with the Long Island. They sneak up on you! :rolleyes:

Miami Vice - Half piña colada and half strawberry daiquiri - and absolutely delicious! Straight to the first bar I see on August 10th for one! :p

Don't get me wrong..I LOVE Long Islands but I would never recommend them to someone asking for a sweet froo froo drink. Long Islands are sweet, cold, and delicious but they are almost all alcohol if made properly and you can (although usually only on the first one) taste the alcohol. I've not been on a cruise yet (9 days!!!) so maybe Carnival does them TOTALLY different but I doubt it.

I agree Long Islands are very strong.

 

What's a good sweet drink that is NOT icy? The frozen ones give me "ice cream headache".

Hurricane -- Orange and pineapple juices, two kinds of rum and a splash of grenadine syrup.

I second that.

 

On the Miracle, I asked the bartender for something fruity, frozen, but different than Pina Colada (needed a change) and this is what he whipped up.

 

Fabulous.

Hi there! First, for the reflux, slip a couple of sturdy cushions under the head of your mattress. Try to raise it 4-6". I did that on my cruise, and the cleaning staff thankfully left it alone. It makes a huge difference. No nocturnal choking. (I'm a Nexium slave, too)

 

I'm a froo-froo drinker and always have been. My favourites: Pina Coladas, Kahlua and Cream (aka Brown Cow if you aren't particular about the brand), Golden Cadillac (creme de cacoa, galliano and cream). I like them sweet and creamy. Try to avoid anything too acidic (i.e. orange juice, margaritas) because of the heartburn! (Red wine, for instance, is a killer for me) My one and only cruise was to Bermuda, and I had a Dark & Stormy (dark rum and ginger beer). If they are available on your cruise, they are nice because the ginger is good for indigestion. I also sometimes have a liqueur straight up with a coffee...something like frangelico or baileys that I can sip slowly and really pace. If others are having beer, I do go a little acidic and have a Smirnoff Ice...Wink with a major kick! It's served in a beer-type bottle but works really well for us froo-froo girly-girl wussy-drinker types. (But be warned...they can be sneaky! Get up and walk to the bathroom after each to make sure you realize how much they are hitting you!) I'm not sure if they stock those on the ships, though.

Those are almost as bad as a Long Island Ice Tea.;):D If made properly.:)

They'll knock you on your rear -- if made properly -- but you don't notice it too much on account of the fruit juice.

Yeah, you gotta be careful with most of those Alco-Pops (Hard Lemonade, Twisted Tea, etc.) because they're actually malt liquor and have more alcohol by volume than a beer. I've seen regular Smirnoff Ice, but never any of the flavored versions. I think I've seen Hard Lemonade as well.

Jager Bombs are great.

You have to start any cruise with a funship special.YUUUUMMMM!! They are sweet and fruity and have quite a kick. When my BIL went on his first cruise with us we got him one and he said he didn't drink froo froo drinks. He drank one and changed his mind. We always buy the first round for any one we are cruising with. Cindy

1. "Kiss On The Lips"

2. "Miami Vice"

3. "BBC" (tastes like a banana shake)

4. "Pina Colada"

 

You can't go wrond with ANY of these drinks!

 

:cool:Bill

[JerseyshoreBruce]

Definitely Miami Vice but all them are good!

yes, yes they do! :D that was my drink of choice during debarkation on the last cruise. Lets just say dinner that night was not very enjoyable. :o

[mr. cruiser]

On my last cruise the casino had a drink called Royal Flush, very tasty:)

[LemurCat]

Jager Bombs are great.

 

No, Jaeger in all forms is evil and should only be used to punish the liver.

[jerseygirl79]

Thanks all! I have a nice little list here.
