Funny you should ask...on recent Sunshine cruise...I mighta had some Jack Daniels laying about that I decided to mix with the lemonade and iced tea squeezed in lemon or lime....my own "version" of Lynchburg Lemonade...wasn't that bad for a spur of the moment mix..that lasted the rest of the cruise.

We don't smuggle, and when we buy a drink it's the drink we buy (not make our own). We take our lemonade and iced tea straight. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony_g51181 Posted April 26, 2014 #7 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Usually order a bottle of vodka from Bon voyage and use the lemonade as a mixer. Last cruise had some powder margarita that I mixed w lemonade and tequila and was quite good at least to me and my group!

crzndeb Posted April 26, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Lemonade and Iced Tea together is called an Arnold Palmer...mixing vodka in is called a John Daly. I usually buy a bottle of vodka from Bon Voyage, and a John Daly is one of the drinks I make. I don't use the ship lemonade though. To much sugar for me, so I bring a lemonade Crystal Light or similar individual powder pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamecock_Cruiser Posted April 26, 2014 #12 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Sorry, but I dont think nothing can help the tea and the tea can help anyhting else. That is some NASTY stuff they serve onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marvholly Posted April 26, 2014 #14 Share Posted April 26, 2014 For me I mix the tea & lemonade together since I HATE tea & the lemonade is too sweet for me. Normally, I would think vodka or gin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotdogworm Posted April 26, 2014 #15 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Sweet tea vodka for sure! Mix it with the lemonade for an adult arnold palmer! There are a few different brands of the sweet tea vodka, most are pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMSACE6 Posted April 26, 2014 #16 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I do mix the lemonade with the ice tea always, as I find the ice tea not so tasty on its own, and the lemonade too sweet. The mixture half and half give or take on either side works for me. I have never considered adding some strong stuff to it....until now:D Thanks for planting the idea in my head. I think vodka would do nicely:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne'sMom Posted April 26, 2014 #17 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I always order peach schnapps from Bon Voyage dept. It goes well with the tea & lemonade. I also will also get juice in the morning to use with it later in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaner64 Posted April 26, 2014 #18 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Vodka and lemonade is ok, but my personal favorite is to take the guava juice that is available at breakfast and mix with rum. The flavored rums like pineapple or mango are the best but in a pinch any rum is good. We usually get a few sipper bottles of the juice at breakfast and put them in our fridge for drinks later.

Boozebabe Posted April 26, 2014 #20 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Just each other. To my liking their lemonade is too sweet and the tea has no sweetener at all. So I mix equal parts of both and voila, my own version of an Arnold Palmer. I need a tray just for my mixing. I am an iceaholic so I come back to the table with about 4 or 5 glasses of ice and a very full glass of tea and lemonade and an empty glass for mixing....then voila icy cold Arnold Palmer. I'll admit that some Jack or Makers would be good but I can live without it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjn911 Posted April 26, 2014 #21 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Boozebabe is good info..she has to be..LOL!!! I love the "Arnold Palmer" too...learned it from my grandma who was one heck of a golfer even stopping completely to raise mom. Remember staying at their house and watching him on TV. My grandma won an amateur tournament when she was 70 for 40 and above. Also..for me I would mix good Vodka with the lemonade or Arnold Palmer if your want an alcohol drink...Good Vodka for that..one can just tell... I can not drink much..tummy can't take it so when I have to have heartburn maintenance...I want it to be worth it!! LOL...Grey Goose is my favorite vodka...my dear mom's drink was a vodka tonic and she did not care..but thank GOD we had a couple Grey Gooses together...and it is smoother on the tummy...just like good wine. Other things...I love good sipping bourbon..no mix needed...Woodford Reserve is great and much less expensive than other "top shelf". Other good vodka I remember is 3 Olives..I think..and Kettle One...but nothing like the Goose to me....Sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chill6x6 Posted April 27, 2014 #23 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I always take Bacardi 151 and Wild Turkey. Both are high in proof so about the best return on investment! ;) Both tea and lemonade are great with either or BOTH! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cccer Posted April 27, 2014 #25 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Since we stay on the Lido, getting lemonade to mix with my BV vodka is always nice. Thanks for the tea/lemonade advice all, I will try that in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
