What is your must have mixed drink?

[amylee1178]

Kiss on The Lips :D

 

The blue-lemonadey type frozen concoction (I forget the name! shame, I know!) is also mighty good.

[tef43]

Beer.

[bigcraig]

Planters Punch

Bahama Mama

[cuted126]

I LOVE the Bushwacker drink

 

They make these on Carnival?!?! I love these!!

 

My must haves on cruises are Miami Vice,Goombay Smash, and Funship specials:p

[UpstateCruizer]

I even have a t-shirt that says that! My dh LIKES to buy me margaritas :D

 

Found some sugar free mix at walmart with only 10 calories....it's passable after you get used to it. Nothing as good as the real thing though. "master of mixes" brand I think.

 

I've been looking all over locally for sugar free mixers with no luck. I recently went to this website to check out some of the mixers there http://www.bajabob.com/home.html

 

Someone on these boards once recommended them. Has anyone else here tried them?

[sharecruises]

I don't like the "Funship Special" fruit punch drink

 

when I board I usually order a Miami Vice...Carnival makes them so beautifully

 

this last time I ordered a Mango Swirl....Mango Daquari and Pina Colado..sweet but yummy

 

the chocolate/bailey's type foo foo drink is also very good

[pcrum]

DH likes Long Island Iced Teas. I like appletinis, cosmos, and mai tais. The flavored martinis area really good also. The Triumph had a tiramisu martini that was to die for!!:)

[tgr2387]

Liquid cocaine...Carnival make those? They always seem to slip my mind

[Jules7226]

All of these drinks sound so good. I'm making a list so that I can try them all on my cruise next week. :D

 

I love the Funship Special! But I am very excited to try the BBC and also Lemoncello shots. Can't wait!!

Fell in love with the Miami Vice years ago on the Sensation. The funny thing is that no one in Wisconsin knew how to make it for years. Now I can go several places and they don't look at me funny anymore. Also love a shot of Bailees in my free Cappuccino (sp?) after dinner.

[SMSACE6]

I like the funship special! I have to have one ( or two ) on the day of embarkation. But my favorite drink will always be a good old gin and tonic! And Carnival mixes them exactly the way I like them, not weak, but not too strong!:)

[MIZZ_K]

I have yet to have a Miami Vice and I think this upcoming cruise I am going to have to try one. I am not a fan of their "Fun Ship Special." Not a heavy drinker at all, just curious besides pina coladas and strawberry margaritas that I usually get, what else is out there.

 

TIA

I love Miami Vice and also Mudslides.

[pkrchkr]

What all is in Kiss on the Lips? It sounds interesting! The Dirty Banana drink sounds really yummy, too!

 

My favorite drink is a Chocolate Martini or a frozen Mud Slide. I tend to lean toward the drinks that use Baileys, Godiva Chocolate Liqueur and Kahlua...but, I also love a frozen Blue Hawaiian, Strawberry Daquirie's and Pina Colada's.

Yumm I second the chocolate martini.. and add a sloe comfortable screw in the corner or up against the wall( sloe gin, southern comfort and OJ)In the corner is a short glass, up against the wall is a taller one, a purple haze is another fav..

[cruznqueen]

Last cruise my brother in law ordered a "French Martini" and it was to die for. I'm addicted.

[Cristallo]

I like a frozen grasshopper.

 

3/4 oz green creme de menthe

3/4 oz white creme de cacao

2 cups vanilla ice cream

[Luckysll]

I tend to lean toward the drinks that use Baileys, Godiva Chocolate Liqueur and Kahlua...

 

the chocolate/bailey's type foo foo drink is also very good

 

You should try a Separator......Kahlua, brandy and milk......tastes like a coffee flavoured milkshake, but with a kick!

My favorite bar in New Orleans sells Separators, and they are the best thing EVER!

 

On cruises, I stick with Long Islands - much more bang for the buck, and they come with the $5 match play casino cards which dh loves.

[kakarp]

It use to be a Miami Vice But now it is the BBC.

I use to call it a BB&C but was corrected by the waiter. It is a BBC

Miller Lite!!! Mimosas for breakfast and the occasional frozen drink (I got alot of new ideas here!!:D) And A Mudslide after dinner on a night or two ... O.K., O.K....EVERY night!!:p

[sjn911]

When I could have an aftenoon big fou fou..then cocktail before dinner..wine..and after dinner drink these are my favorite options on vacation..do not know if Carnival has them all....

 

1) fou fou: Stawberry/banana daqueri mixed...Lava flow. or

Vodka Chi chi

 

2) Cocktail: Cranberry/Vodka..splash of soda...with lime; Cape Cod or

 

Vodka tonic with lime (if going fancy Grey Goose I love..but mixed Smirinoff

Gordons ok)...Good Schwepps tonic highly preferrable or

 

 

Whiskey sour or

 

Bourbon with a splash on the rocks..a good bourbon.

 

 

#3

Wine: Full bodied red or Pinot Gris or Pinot red from Oregon or Pinot girgio (drier)...favorites.

 

 

#4

After dinner: Kaluha/Cream on Ice Variation: Ammaretto splash added or

 

 

 

 

 

Ammaretto on the Rocks or

 

Peppermint Schnapps on the Rocks or

 

Frangellico (sp) or

 

A sipping brandy or scotch or

 

A nice dessert wine or sherry or port.

 

Now I am lucky if I can do 2 drinks a day...just can not have 3 or 4 on vacation only that is..like I used to...boo hoo.

[breezycruiser]

My favorite cruise drinks are the Kiss On the Lips and the Yellow Bird.

 

I am also big fan of tequila so a Tequila Sunrise, flavored Margarita and a few shots of Patron Silver is a must! Tequila makes me a little silly but it just tastes so darn good!:p

 

Oh and lets not forget the Apple Martini!;)

[azrayne]

El Diablo.....

 

 

2 oz tequila, 4 oz ginger ale, 1 oz chambord 1/2 fresh squeezed lime....

 

You can drink those all day long...not sweet, not filled with sweet n sour....very refreshing!

[Title39]

A Long Island Iced Tea. It's the most bang for your buck. ;)
