jamiehaas27 Posted July 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Does anyone know what kind of bloody mary mix they use or if they make it? Can you get the mix without booze in it? I prefer spicy bloody mary mix to tomato juice in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 27, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I've seen them use something called Island Oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiehaas27 Posted July 27, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Awesome thank you, maybe I could have them add some horseradish to spice it up :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsconley19 Posted July 27, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) It is GROSS! Worst tasting mix I've ever tasted. Way too sweet. Just my opinion! Tom Edited July 27, 2015 by tsconley19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_G Posted July 27, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 27, 2015 It is GROSS!Worst tasting mix I've ever tasted. Way too sweet. Just my opinion! Tom That's my morning cocktail and I'd call it anything but sweet. Are sure they weren't mixing it wrong? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGinBoy Posted July 27, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 27, 2015 If it's sweet just ask them to spice it up - either with Lea & Perrins, or Tabasco. Or spice it to your own taste. Simples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsconley19 Posted July 27, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Perhaps the container needed to be shaken. Thought it tasted like ketchup. Not a big fan since they switched to Island Oasis products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaOne Posted July 27, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Perhaps the container needed to be shaken. Thought it tasted like ketchup. Not a big fan since they switched to Island Oasis products. We were just on another cruise line (NCL) and they use Zing Zang for their bloody mary mix. It's excellent! And Zing Zang is available locally...so I've stocked up. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisuretraveler223 Posted July 27, 2015 #10 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Sadly, RCI has a profound affinity for all things Island Oasis. They make EVERYTHING with it. Yuck!! I would love to be able to get a REAL margarita, pina colada or bloody mary on board, instead of that pre-mixed crap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bar here in town that my wife has been working at for the last 30 years was one of the first to carry it when they started distribution back in the mid 90's I believe. We can buy it here at our grocery store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should've had them make me one with just tomato juice, but switched to something else. No more Island Oasis paper container crap for me too!

Cruisin'4Us Posted July 27, 2015 #15 Share Posted July 27, 2015 My favorite is Major Peters. Same stuff Red Lobster uses (at least they used it 15 years ago.) Not impressed with Zing Zang. V8 has a Bloody Mary Mix. I buy it when I can't find Major Peters. I'm getting thirsty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JessyCruises Posted July 27, 2015 #16 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) They have clamato as well - at least they did on the ships I have been on. Not exactly Bloody Mary mix, but better than island oasis IMHO. I prefer Caesars anyway Edited July 27, 2015 by Canadian Disney Mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to be able to get a REAL margarita, pina colada or bloody mary on board, instead of that pre-mixed crap! Of course, individual tastes vary, but in general, Island Oasis is a quality brand of mixers that uses real fruit/vegetable juices and tends to avoid things like HFCS. It's not the same as mixing something up with fresh-squeezed juices, but for a mix, they are (in my opinion) better than most. If you want something really fresh, though, try the R-bar. That's sort of the "theme" of that bar, that drinks are mixed with fresh ingredients, rather than from pre-packaged mixes. Not being a big Bloody Mary fan, I can't tell you if they make those from scratch at the R-bar or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dplusd Posted July 27, 2015 #18 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Bloody Mary is my favorite daytime drink and Royal has absolutely the worst bloody mary mix I have ever tasted. Taste like watered down ketchup! I tried to have them spice it up but found it very inconsistent by bartender. I just gave up and don't even order them anymore.

Cruisin'4Us Posted July 29, 2015 #21 Share Posted July 29, 2015 As a side note, I order mine 'Up' or with no ice. Can't stand a diluted Bloody Mary, and don't like rushing through them to avoid ice melting and ruining it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilkySal Posted July 29, 2015 #22 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Zing Zang gets my vote too! Wish all RCI ships would switch to this mix! The spices are all ready in there! I have found that all bartenders vary in the way they make them, so I usually watch how it's made, taste it, then may add my own hot sauce, Worcestershire, and/or pepper as needed!:p Or, sometimes I opt for a Bloody Caesar!:cool: At times, I also like to add some beer for a different taste all together!:rolleyes: To each his/her own!! Cheers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesr3939 Posted July 29, 2015 #23 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I love an AM Bloody Mary and easily drink 6-8 before lunch. RCCL's BM mix was as stated "weak" at best and really lacking any true BM flavor. Last year on Carnival they used a Minute Maid product that was pretty good. Absolutely the best BM mix is Lefty O'Doul. I like mine fairly spicy and have never had to add anything to Lefty's for anybody who comes visit. Walmart and BevMo carry it. But it sells out frequently at Walmart so if you like it buy more than one bottle when they have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
