tropicaledrink Posted January 21, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 21, 2016 On Menu? A deal closer with coconut rum subbed for the the amaretto (allergic to amaretto). YUM. But seriously, anything they have created. I love that the Pride's Alchemy Bar had a carbonation machine. Tatiana made me a "grape soda" several nights - but it didn't have a single grape ingredient in it. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwell'sparents Posted January 21, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I second the Cucumber Sunrise. Its refreshing and after about 3 fruity flavored drinks they all taste too sweet. Plus its the only vegetable I end up eating all week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crookedhalo Posted January 21, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 21, 2016 On Pride in December Gabriel quickly figured out that I was 'adventurous' and loved spice. Each night he would come up with the most amazing drinks! Loved the 'originial' Mojito he fixed me one night - very different from the ones you get everywhere else:D. Elenia fixed me a chocolate martini with chipotle infused vodka that was to good to be true. Actually, it seems, looking back, that chipotle infused vodka figured heavily in my drinks;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetsMakeWaves55 Posted January 21, 2016 #12 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm so excited to try this on the Pride in 45 days! I haven't been on a ship with the alchemy before. This Cucumber Sunrise sounds pretty amazing as do all of them, good thing I'll have 7 days to try them all.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjunea Posted January 21, 2016 #13 Share Posted January 21, 2016 My favorite was Forty is the new Twenty, with the Cucumber a close second. I loved the mixology class, where you got to see how they make them (and drink them!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchell Posted January 21, 2016 #14 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I enjoy many of the drinks on the menu - however I have had an even more enjoyable experience by simply telling the bartenders what flavors I like and allowing them to be adventurous. I have had the absolute best drinks ever by turning them loose (and having Cheers if you are going to do that is highly recommended). My fav so far has been something with silver tequila, raspberries and fresh lime juice - it was incredible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

octcruise10 Posted January 21, 2016 Author #16 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I was going to try to do a new drink each time I go but I think I would have to sleep in the lounge to get to them all......hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantocruisemore Posted January 21, 2016 #17 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I love the majority but favorites are Deal Closer, Cucumber Sunrise and 40 is new 20 (or, as they made for me with some slight variation, 50 is the new 30). DH loves the dirty martinis they make special. Definitely our favorite bar and would go every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splintz Posted January 29, 2016 #19 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I go with a simple dirty martini with grey goose. When made at the alchemy bar it is perfect. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caitmac1 Posted January 29, 2016 #20 Share Posted January 29, 2016 i say this every time but THE REMEDY IS THE BEST. The cucumber sunrise is okay if you like cucumber. :P I don't! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funinthesun1964 Posted January 29, 2016 #21 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I like the 40 is the new 20 and the Deal Closer, but after all the comments about the Cucumber Sunrise, I think I'm going to have to try it. IS there really a STRONG taste of cucumber? I don't dislike cucumber, but can't really imagine it in a drink! I also want to try the Remedy.

2Shoes2Go Posted January 29, 2016 #22 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Love to cut the creators loose. Usually ask for any citrus, ginger added. Lemon is my favorite ingredient. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megr1125 Posted January 29, 2016 #23 Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Whatever the bartenders create....I never actually read the menu. Gabriel on Pride said it was for ideas only...asked what I liked and made stuff.... As for cucumbers...he made me one with cucumber...faint flavor...more like..."hmmm I know this flavor...but what is it...hmm.". I mean, it had a thin slice of cuke as garnish, but....it was yummy....whatever it was... It was NOT the sunrise...more of a cucumber gin and tonic-esque thing...sooo refreshing!

IS there really a STRONG taste of cucumber? I don't dislike cucumber, but can't really imagine it in a drink! I also want to try the Remedy. I plan on trying some of the suggestions for sure this go around. The Cucumber Sunrise is my favorite.. It has a freshness to it not over powering..fresh watermelon.. cucumber ..so refreshing.....Just what you need when coming off the beach or out of the sun all day! I would go there each night before dinner and have a few and take one to dinner with me. Then maybe another on the way out from dinner to the show. .OMG I think I might try making it this weekend. Michele made them perfect on the Pride last year. Hope she is still there!:D Edited January 29, 2016 by octcruise10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
