dixonfivecruise Posted March 29, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I would like to order some liquer from Bon Voyage, but I would love any suggestions as to what drinks can be made with the free Lemonade and Ice tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhale Posted March 29, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I would like to order some liquer from Bon Voyage, but I would love any suggestions as to what drinks can be made with the free Lemonade and Ice tea. VODKA!! It's the go-to for everything. Ice tea + vodka = an "ice pick" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisecrazy82 Posted March 29, 2011 #3 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Don't know about the iced tea, but for the lemonade, the Absolute Citron is pretty good. Also you can pack some Crystal light drink packets to mix with the vodka as well, the raspberry lemonade and fruit punch are pretttttttty darn good with some Citron!!! :) And they don't take up hardly any space in your bag!

scchasgal Posted March 29, 2011 #4 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I second the vodka. It goes great with iced tea and lemonade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollychelle Posted March 29, 2011 #5 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I agree with vodka. We love that with lemonade! We also carry on two bottles of champagne instead of wine (which is allowed). It mixes well with the OJ or the guava juice for a mimosa in the morning. The vodka also goes well with the juices too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpstateCruizer Posted March 29, 2011 #6 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I would like to order some liquer from Bon Voyage, but I would love any suggestions as to what drinks can be made with the free Lemonade and Ice tea. Don't forget you can also order juices from room service to go with your booze :) The machines on the Lido deck will have orange juice and a guava type drink in the mornings. An empty clean water bottle is great for storing the juices for later in the day. I love Malibu rum as it has the coconut tropical taste to it but it wouldn't mix well with iced tea :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanityfur Posted March 29, 2011 #7 Share Posted March 29, 2011 You just described a John Daly... (It's an Arnold Palmer -- lemonade and tea -- with vodka added...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted March 29, 2011 #8 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I love tequila, and would save some of the OJ or passion to mix with it if I had a frig in my cabin. But I looked and the $40 bottle of Margaritaville is not a very good tequilla, Im spoiled with good stuff I have picked up in Cozumel. Iv been thinking about this one myself. Lemonaide and tequila is pretty close to a margarita, close enough, add a slice of lemon, lime from sur mer if your ship has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jax430 Posted March 29, 2011 #9 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I don't know what's on the bon voyage menu, but I love mixing Captain Morgan with iced tea. I make a nice summer drink mixing those two with some sliced oranges and lemons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet Foster Posted March 29, 2011 #11 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I just cut to the chase... A shot of whiskey (chilled) with a a small glass of lemonade to wash it down... YUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocF Posted March 29, 2011 #12 Share Posted March 29, 2011 GIN! Gin and Lemonade = Tom Collins. Take it from a retired bartender. Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORDMan Posted March 29, 2011 #13 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Go for the vodka. Goes with (almost) anything. We've ordered a bottle of Goose for our upcoming cruise. Plus you can call room service for lemons and sugar and do lemon drops.... Malibu is also nice mixed with pineapple juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare richstowe Posted March 29, 2011 #14 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Never mind the lemonade . Rum goes great with the fruit punch served for breakfast. Fill up a small thermos for later use (unless you start early):p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laldin_kid Posted March 29, 2011 #15 Share Posted March 29, 2011 We ordered the Limon Rum and it was great with the lemonade. We also stocked up on the juice at breakfast and made some nice rum punches later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesleyswimcoach Posted March 29, 2011 #16 Share Posted March 29, 2011 My vote is vodka. Just with the juices, tea & lemonade. You can have bloody marys, greyhounds, screwdrivers and that 's just the juices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyful34 Posted March 29, 2011 #17 Share Posted March 29, 2011 What is absolute citron? Is it a flavored vodka? Crystal light raspberry lemondate and vodka is fantastic and my drink of choice. 0 Carbs and I can sip till my hearts content! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyblue78 Posted March 29, 2011 #18 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Malibu is AWESOME when mixed with the passion-guava juice that they have in the morning. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunkey1 Posted March 29, 2011 #20 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Malibu is AWESOME when mixed with the passion-guava juice that they have in the morning. :) I'll second that one! We take a bottle along to fill up with this juice, order a bottle of Malibu Coconut from BV and we are set for the week for daytime drinks.

familycruzinnewbie Posted March 29, 2011 #22 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I was thinking about Tequila. How bad is the Margaritaville Tequila? I only have Cuervo here that I'm sure I've had for 10 years, so I'm not a connoisseur. I've been mixing it with lemonade and frozen strawberries or watermelon lately so it's probably the next thing I will need. I like the Malibu but it's listed as $60.

If you dont mind jose cuervo then its probably ok. Jose Cuervo is not 100% agave, so its mixed with cheaper booze to bring it up to the right percentage of alcohol. If it doesnt say 100% ... then you can bet its not 100% tequila. there is a reason jose is the cheapest tequila in the onboard shops. If you are mixing it and dont mind the taste ... go for it.
