s2kreno Posted September 8, 2016 #26 Share Posted September 8, 2016 There was a thread on NCL recently about having an alcoholic drink at breakfast. Whilst there were one or two suggestions for drinks, the thread veered slightly off topic by discussing drunken behaviour. I thought it might be fun to open the thread to the wider CC community and see what drinks people would have with their breakfast. If I can get an enchilada for breakfast, I'm having a beer with it.

KAE27 Posted September 8, 2016 #27 Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) Always remember, never forget...You only go around once.....so you might as well go around drunk. I make it a point for them to lose money giving me the drink package and will without hesitation enjoy a few Bloody Mary's with my breakfast, just to take the edge off before I start drinking for the day. My Bride said that I was an alcoholic and I told her that I was not an alcoholic, I was a drunk. She said what is the difference? I told her that alcoholics go to meetings and drunks don't. .......I'm just kidding! (not really) Cheers!:D You guys sound like a blast. Happy cruising. :D As for me, I'm afraid I love to start the day with a mimosa...or two...and have nothing interesting or unusual to suggest.

SelectSys Posted September 8, 2016 #28 Share Posted September 8, 2016 If I can get an enchilada for breakfast, I'm having a beer with it. Your thought of an enchilada made me think of a michelada as a candidate cure for a night of festivities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted September 8, 2016 #31 Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) N Let's see; what I'll have as a beverage at a Saturday breakfast or Sunday brunch with friends: Mimosa Bellini Bloody Mary any juice with a little vodka added (Cape Codder, Screwdriver, Greyhound, etc) For those who like Bloody Marys: If you are near any St. Regis hotel, stop into the bar and ask for their signature "Mary" cocktail. The original Bloody Mary was concocted at The St. Regis New York. Now, each St. Regis around the world has it's own riff on the original. It usually costs as much as a breakfast (:eek:), but some are darn good. So far, my favorite is from The St. Regis Florence (I've sampled them at 6 StRs so far)... Your mention of the bar at St. Regis NYC (called King Cole.l Bar) b rings a smile tgo my face. Some very fun times there pre-d inner.with good HAL friends. tIt is a great bar. Sprak of Belinis', gthe first I ever had was at Harry's Bar in Venice. Sure went down smoothly. Edited September 8, 2016 by sail7seas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jocap Posted September 9, 2016 #33 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I think that the usual drink served on board for a speciality breakfast is Buck's Fizz... that's what I read about on wedding day mornings at sea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CELTICGIRLCRUISER Posted September 9, 2016 #34 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Hi, Buck's Fizz is a traditional Christmas morning drink in the UK. It is also served at Wedding Breakfasts (but that isn't at a breakfast time) Pete Pretty much the same as a Mimosa, although the purists will tell you the ratio is a bit different but it is basically champers and oj.

Some very fun times there pre-d inner.with good HAL friends. tIt is a great bar. Sprak of Belinis', gthe first I ever had was at Harry's Bar in Venice. Sure went down smoothly. A copy of the King Cole mural hung in the employee cafeteria of one of the hotels I worked at. The tale of the original mural - Maxfield Parish painted JJ Astor as King Cole. The look on everyone's face is supposed to show what happened when "The King" passed gas... Always told in employee orientation. So snarky - to have a luxurious old-world bar in a classy hotel and the big mural that welcomes you to the Bar is of a guy farting :D If you ever get to Florence, go to the bar at the St. Regis there and order their signature Brunello Mary.

pezhead Posted September 10, 2016 #40 Share Posted September 10, 2016 "Rum at 10am makes a pirate . . . Not an alcoholic" It's a mimosa at breakfast for me. And if it's a lounging sea day and I've already hit the gym, I'm having an Amerretto or Tequila Sunrise instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDawg Posted September 10, 2016 #42 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I normally don't drink alcohol is the morning even on a cruise. But I have to say, reading this thread is making me thirsty! And it's only 8:40 in the morning here and I'm not on a cruise ship. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a breakfast drink, but Amaretto (a good one) hot with cream on top is yummy. Not talking about mixing it with hot choc/coffee or anything just straight. I like it as it comes too but the hot version is yum and 25 years after discovering it, I still like this tipple when the mood takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s2kreno Posted September 11, 2016 #48 Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) Please explain. Never heard of either Traditional Mexican hangover remedy. Menudo is a soup with tripe in it. Not my thing, to be honest. Michelada is a drink -- sort of a Bloody Mary with a salt-rimmed glass and beer instead of vodka. I actually prefer the chelada -- salt-rimmed glass, crushed ice, juice of a lime, habanero, fill with Mexican beer. Very refreshing, serve with jicama dusted with chili powder.

CruiseLovah82 Posted September 11, 2016 #49 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Morning cruise drink is a mimosa or Bloody Mary. Morning land vacation drink is a pina colada unless I'm camping, then it's a beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
