cruisin07family Posted October 3, 2015 #276 Share Posted October 3, 2015 We love martinis. Haven't missed a martini tasting on any ship yet! My favorites are the chocolate martini and the cosmopolitan. I don't know why the cosmo onboard is so much better than any I make at home. Kinda sad that the UBP doesn't include the tastings. I know we can just order the same martinis and make our own "tastings" but it's not quite the same or as fun as the silly games and giveaways done onboard during the martini tastings.

Rare aubreyc1988 Posted October 21, 2015 #279 Share Posted October 21, 2015 WOW. If you tried that at several bars and were denied, I would've sought out to have a nice conversation with the HEAD of BARSTAFF. That's ridiculous to deny making certain cocktails for no good reason, especially when you can tell them what's in it and they have the ingredients. Just makes no business sense and is terrible from a customer service standpoint:mad: As a personal experience; I have had several bar tenders ask me what's in a particular drink after requesting it, but NEVER had them deny making it once I gave them the ingredients. I just go with the flow - while I was disappointed, there were many drinks still to try. Maybe because the barstaff is overwhelmed, they can't do special requests - I was amazed at how many bars had only ONE bartender and MASSIVE crowds.

Poop_Deck Posted October 22, 2015 #281 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I had a fantastic new drink on Getaway a few weeks ago...but I can't for the life of me remember the name! It was Hendrick's muddled with cucumber & basil and shaken with a splash of white cranberry juice. I had never had gin before (I'm a red wine kind of girl) but it was AMAZING!! I was very sorry I waited until Friday to try it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotchick Posted October 22, 2015 #282 Share Posted October 22, 2015 So, do you guys order a different drink every time you order or do you stick to the same one. I would be bombed if I tried all these, especially on the one day. Lots of different liquors in these mixes and you know what they say | don't mix your drinks" and I am a Scot!!! ;););) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niffernay Posted October 28, 2015 #284 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Updating the list to add: Rum Cake (YUM!) Cherry Limeade (cocktail) Cherry Limeade (shooter) Thank you so much for preparing this.

ldlewis45 Posted October 29, 2015 #285 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I did several martini tastings on my Epic TA last year, and my absolute favorite of all of them was the Cosmojito! Absolutely great hybrid of a mojito and a cosmopolitan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardFanDubG Posted October 29, 2015 #286 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Since many have the UBP and the new bar menus have limited drinks listed, I have created a list of beverages that have been mentioned on Cruise Critic. Here is the LINK for Beverage List. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidybabe Posted October 29, 2015 #289 Share Posted October 29, 2015 The Banana Banshee I had on the BA was made differently than on that list. I do not remember all ingredients but it defiantly had vanilla stoli vodka in it. Delicious. Safe sailing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitsey66 Posted October 29, 2015 #292 Share Posted October 29, 2015 You have to take it without the souvenir glass or it would be over $10. Or if you want the glass they'll charge your acct for the overage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelerblue Posted November 10, 2015 #294 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I see the Twilight Zone on the list and it is one of my favorites but I have only had it on my one and only Carnival cruise. When I asked for it on the Breakaway they had no idea what it was. I even had my friend text me the ingredients and they just smiled and shook their heads. Has anyone ever had one on NCL?

MrMan Posted November 12, 2015 #298 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Bloody Mary in the morning made with Jagermeister instead of vodka. The Jager gives the tomatoe juice a basil taste. WARNING: One of these will make the buffet taste like the best food you ever ate Two will make your babies come out crooked Three will make you do things that give the MDR Gladis Kravits' something to whine about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
