Drinks on Carnival...Your Pics, Favs, Recipes, Advice

[sharecruises]

Hi...

Sept 3 is fast approaching and I am starting to get excited

 

For me the cruise really begins when I get my first "Miami Vice"

 

Carnival does them so well...1/2 Pina Colada, 1/2 Strawberry Daq

with the cherry/Pineapple and little umbrella...yum

 

what is your fav Carnival mixed drink? recipe? do you have a picture of it?

 

(and anyone with good pics of a Carnival Miami Vice please post. I live in Florida and no place makes these like Carnival, they usually are all run together, Carnival makes them perfect)

 

Thanks in advance....:) Yum

.....there's only one thing I drink on the cruise. That's right, a Long Island Iced Tea!

 

And I usually ask the bartender to make it a double. That's only because I get home-sick. :rolleyes:

A lot of people like the Funship special but I don't like to drink on the first day. I see Ultimate Suntan, Yellow Bird and Goombay Smash throughout the week. Which one tastes best without tasting like coconut?

[loveJake]

Kiss on the Lips

[Perfect Stranger]

I forgot about that one...always hear how delicious it is! Any other really good ones that don't taste of coconut?

[jetskier]

Try a dirty banana... basically a banana daiquiri with a splash of coffee liquor.

 

For the OP, you can order the Funship Special throughout the cruise as well as any of the other daily specials.

I like coffee...and I like bananas...but I've never had them together. I think I'd like it though!

What's a BBC?

We had our first cruise on a Carnival Ship sailing on the Conquest 8/2-8/9. I was surprised that probably half the drinks were really, really strong. I mean, no one wants a watered down bar drink but sometimes I felt like I was drinking straight alcohol! :eek:

 

That said, my favorite DOD from our trip was the Goombay Smash....Very tasty! The recipe is:

 

• 3/4 fluid ounce bacardi spiced rum
  
• 1/2 fluid ounce bicardi light rum
  
• 1/4 fluid ounce apricot brandy
  
• 1/2 fluid ounce coconut cream
  
• 2 fluid ounces pineapple juice
  

We ended up buying the cocktail recipe book and it has over 100 recipies! That should keep me occupied for a little while!

The ultimate Suntan was very strong IMO. Yellow Bird was pretty good, but Goombay Smash was my fave of the DOD's

Wow, is Kiss on the Lips in there?

[sharecruises]

Oh wow...this is getting interesting <grin>

 

what is a Kiss on the Lips??

 

that BBC looks tasty

 

does anyone have a good picture of a perfect Miami Vice?

 

I also heard of a drink that is Pina Colada, Strawberry Daq and Mango Daq

that would be...interesting :)

 

Thanks

half oz of peach schapps, four to six oz of mango mix and 1 tbsp of grenadine syrup. You would then blend the mango mix with crushed ice with the schnapps. You would place the grenadine syrup at the bottom of the glass and then pour the schnapps and

mango mix into a cocktail glass. You now have a kiss on the lips drink ready.

 

 

I copied this from another site. When I make mine I use 2 shots of peach schnapps and 4 shots of mango mix. It tastes just like on the ships. I've tried a couple different mango mixes, I believe Rose's comes closest, Finest Call is too thick. I also use Rose's grenadine for the same reason.

I see lots of different kiss recipes but no KOTL.

This is a link to a recipe for KOTL:

I also found the Ultimate suntan too strong (ended up diluting it with some ice).

 

My vote goes to Kiss on the Lips! seconded by a mango daiquiri (can you tell I love mangoes! :D)

I like coffee...and I like bananas...but I've never had them together. I think I'd like it though!

 

 

I thought that too but I dumped the one I got on our last cruise. It just didn't taste right but it may have been the bartender that made it. I just know that it was nasty enough I wasn't willing to waste money to try it again :(

 

My favorite drinks on the ship are a BBC (Baileys, banana coolada), Cozumel (Host Mach did you ever find the recipe for this one??), Kiss on the Lips and a Miami Vice. All very yummy!! I've duplicated all of them at home except the Cozumel since I can't find the recipe. :confused:

I went all over town looking for the frozen mango mix I saw on one of the recipes. I had no luck so I too ended up buying Rose's Mango and it was good. I tried something from the Mix Master line that was mango but it wasn't as good. I love this drink!

Banana daiquiri. This is delicious!! Plus I love the cup. ;)

[jeshghn]

Miami Nice/Vice is my favourite! Silly question but all three of my cruises have left from Miami but about to go one out of San Diego will they also have it under the same name! I might have to switch ships if not!

[FIREBIRD52]

They all sound great, how much are the average ones ?

I loved the Yellow Bird. Yum! I can't wait to get a Miami Vice though. I stuck to DoDs on my last cruise since I had the card, but I plan on branching out a bit more this time ;)
