Favorite Cocktail??

[Livabeth]

We leave in 2 weeks for our cruise on the Explorer of the Seas ... yeah!!!

 

Our friends and I were talking about the cocktails we will drink onboard and wondered what cocktails are your favorite and what drinks are RCCL known for??

 

We plan to try an assortment of drinks :D, but would like to get your opinion on what we should try first.

 

Thanks and Happy New Years!!

My absolute favorite on RCCL is the Mango Tango! It's 1/2 Pina Colada and 1/2 Mango Slush. Nothing better by the pool!!! At night I switch to Captain and Diet.

Hi Livabeth I don't know whether they make them on board,but in St Thomas/Tortola they make a great drink, called the Bushwacker. Yummy :D Does anyone know if they make these onboard?

I'm hoping to have a "Vampire" drink on our next cruise (yes, I'm a Twi-mom :o): 1 shot vodka, 1 shot raspberry liquer, 1 shot lime juice, 1 shot cranberry juice... pour into a shaker with ice, and pour out into martini glass... very yummy! (Served them at my Twilight party for a bunch of other moms last March when the DVD came out...):D

[Turk]

My wife would say "Lovy Dovy" ! Do they still make that??? : )

[39august]

B52 - Kaluha,Bailey's and Grand Mariner. Yum!

[Ashland]

At night...Lemon Drop.....:p

During the day.....Pina Colada (or drink of the day).....:p

[whyrlygig]

Bailey Bu. Dang! Now I want one.....

[monkeyinhat]

Pain killer by the pool

gin and tonic at night

 

and quite accidently on the Beach at St. Maarten Tropical punch and Dark Rum

[luvscruising2007]

I usually order the drink of the day if it has rum. Don't really care for gin or

vodka. Some are better than others. Ask the server what's in the drink and sometimes you can tell ahead of time whether you will like it.

At night I like rum and diet coke.:D

1 ounce light rum

1/4 ounce creme de banana

I smile and ask the bartender or server to go a little heavy on the rum.

Friend of mine I was on my last cruise with heard about a special champagne cocktail that the champagne bar bartenders would make, but it's not on the menu.

 

Has rose water in it and is delicious... Any ideas as to what it is?

[jonbgd]

2 fingers of Martel Cordon Bleu

[philnpen]

Any drink bought by someone else.

GEEZ! I wish I was at THAT party! LOL. How do you feel about True Blood/the Sookie Stackhouse books/ERIC NORTHMAN?

[piemom9397]

On Labadee, they serve Labadoozies and they are delicious!! I asked the cocktail waitress in the theater that night if she could make me one & she did. Oh how I want one now!!:D

[coast2coast]

I second Piemom's favorite cocktail... can't go to Labadee without getting a Labadoozie! And I plan to get one in just about 17 days or so! Can't wait!

 

And as to mom2two2:

GEEZ! I wish I was at THAT party! LOL. How do you feel about True Blood/the Sookie Stackhouse books/ERIC NORTHMAN?

Because I read the Twilight series first, I'd have to say I liked those best. However I plan to read Club Dead on my upcoming cruise... ;)

And of course, I'll be making those Vampire Drinks again when the New Moon DVD comes out... :D

[whyrlygig]

Are the labadoozie and the coco loco the same drink?

loved the books. :D

Never heard of the drink though. Sounds good!

[cruiseguy1016]

Bahama Momma. It's the first drink I have when I get on the ship. It gives me that "cruise" feeling. I always have the drink of the day too.
