What drinks pack the most punch.

[gtouch]

Since vacation is time to let go what drinks do you recommend. I usually drink Scotch but on vacation I will go with some "Boat drinks" to quote Jimmy Buffett.

[singbluesilver1]

Long Island ice tea maybe?

[funinthesun1964]

everyone says LI IT is the best bang for the buck, but a couple of those drinks from the Blue Iguana were packed with some power, I tell ya!

[Butterbean1000]

Dirty martini, 3 olives.

[coevan]

Kettle One Martini, extra olives, hold the vermouth. Or as Hawkeye from MASH once said, "5 parts gin and a moment of silent meditation for the vermouth"

[305diva]

Green Iguana (for breakfast) :eek:

Bite of Iguana (rest of the day) :D

My husband who drinks bourbon at home (we're from KY) does the same thing- he gets "boat drinks". His usual selections are the mojito or the margarita. By his "cursive" speech at the end of the day, I'd say they pack a punch!

[cruiseJMO]

Long Island Iced Teas are definitely at the top. There's usually some altered version of it under tequila or ship specials.

[JMSH44]

The one I pour in my cabin...Crown Royal...keep pouring until the ice floats!

[bluerose1515]

I like the beach comber, frogs island iced tea, & DJ. The DJ is pretty much a blue Long Island and goes down so smooth!

A shot, of any alcohol, mixed with a carbonated drink will be absorbed in the blood stream faster than without carbonation. I thought this was odd, but true.. And cruiseJMO you are so right about the Long Island Teas... In one of the large glasses a LIT's alcohol will fill the glass half full w/ice, about 1/3 without/ice, then your mixer. It does pack a punch..there is 5 types of LIT...TOKYO TEA, AMF, LONG BEACH and I can't remember the 5th one. One is blue, one is green, one is red/cranberry. I can taste mine now, leaving in 37 days..

What drink packs the most punch? Why the one that causes others to smack you in the face due to your drunken behavior, lol.

And supposedly they are absorbed more quickly if mixed with diet soda.

That I didn't know, well I guess my shots will be accompanied by a diet coke!!! Heck I may loose weight on my next cruise.....ahh no..

:D Absolutely! And I don't really much care for olives, except in a martini.

Haha, that's funny...[emoji483][emoji483]

I like the Bombay Sapphire martini -- up, very dry (spritz of vermouth), stirred (not shaken) with 3 blue cheese stuffed olives. No olive juice -- yuk. :eek::D It's my go-to before dinner drink.
