Alaskan Cocktail Experience

[whynotnow50]

I noticed in one of the Patters that someone was nice enough to post that there is an Alaskan Cocktail Experience. Could you describe what that is? It sounds interesting.:)

Hi, just bumping this up. I'm still hoping for a description of this activity, if anyone knows.

 

Thanks.

It's a drink. The Patter often advertises interesting drinks and calls them an experience. You still pay for it.

 

 

The Alaska is an old cocktail which features the use of gin mixed with Chartreuse. Sources vary of which color of Chartreuse to use, but generally the drink is made with yellow Chartreuse.

Thank you for the answer. I don't care for gin, but I still might try it.

If you do, sip judiciously. That stuff sneaks up on you. I speak from experience. :eek:

Since we're on the subject, if you absolutely had to ONLY drink one cocktail or beer forever, what would you choose? I'd like to try a couple unusual items on the ship and would like some ideas.

At this point in my life I drink only sauvignon blanc or pinot grigio. No hard alcohol. Beer: Yuengling, Shiner Bock or Becks. You can find Becks on board, but not the other two.

Booze: Straight Bourbon or Single Malt Scotch

 

Beer: Sierra Nevada Porter

Alaska cruises may carry local beers from the Alaskan Brewing Company. I like their Alaska Amber. Unfortunately, none of their beer is distributed east of the Mississippi.

If I drink (not often and usually on a cruise), I like something sweet. Princess serves a drink called a "Dirty Banana" that I love. It is blended and tastes like a chocolate milkshake with a banana in it. Yes, it does have alcohol in it but it doesn't taste like it. Yum!

The 'dirty banana' was my favorite drink on my last Princess cruise! I hope I can get it on the Sapphire when I sail this December.
