astros fan Posted November 22, 2005 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2005 We are leaving on the Conquest in 47 days. I know about all of the drinks of the day and the standards on Carnival ships, but what I want to know is what is your favorite...nonCarnival drink. Meaning something not specific to carnival. We are not normally adventurous drinkers, but I think the captains party and past guest party would be a great time to find a new favorite drink. So, let me hear it....what is your favorite drink.

pcakes2 Posted November 22, 2005 #4 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Lately I have been drinking Kahula & Club Soda. I know it sounds kind of strange, but it's much lighter than a mudslide or white russian, and I'm always watching calories. -patty.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cezovski Posted December 27, 2005 #11 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Singapore Slings. They have just about everything in them! LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValCat84 Posted December 29, 2005 #12 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Miami Vice. They are my favorite drink that I always get at my favorite nite club here at home. I am happy to have heard they have them on the ship!! Here we make them with half pina colada mix, half strawberry daquari mix, Bacardi 151 and an extra test tube shot of blackhaus or cocanut rum stuck in it. For some reason I have the feeling on the boat you won't be getting the extra shot. Also a big fan of bacardi green apple and sprite And the Purple Motherf*cker: vodka, southern comfort, amaretto and then Blue Curacao liqueur and cranberry juice to make it purple!! it's really tasty.

KDog Posted December 30, 2005 #13 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I agree with the Singapore Sling, though they can end up good or bad depending on who is making it and what "variation" they are using. Otherwise, my old stand-by, pre-dinner cocktail: Tanqueray (sp?) and tonic with a lime, very refreshing! Another good one is Brandy Old Fashion Sweet, but that is such a Wisconsin thing hardly anyone else knows how to make them. It is sugar muddled with bitters, ice, brandy, 7-up, garnish with a cherry and an orange slice. Especially good over the holidays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakalina Posted January 2, 2006 #14 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Definitly a BBC. A frozen concoction of Bailey's Irish Cream, banana liquor, and coconut mix. Yuummmy!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Black Velvet was generally a ladies drink, usually at wedding where the champagne flowed for free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frchteaze Posted February 5, 2006 #17 Share Posted February 5, 2006 My standard is Capt. Morgan and coke, but if I'm feeling a little zesty I go for coconut rum (Parrot Bay, Malibu, etc.) in cranberry juice or a combination of Midori, Malibu, and cream. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvnursing777 Posted February 16, 2006 #22 Share Posted February 16, 2006 My favorite is Yellow Bird, It is a popular drink on cruise ships and my aunt brought the recipe home that she found on a shot glass in Jamacia. She never drinks and when she tasted this on a ship she fell in love, it is light and fruity but has a lot of alcohol in it that you can barely taste. I made it at my graduation party and everyone loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr81 Posted February 16, 2006 #23 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Last cruise, my drink was a Carmel Apple Martini. I also like a drink called Scicillian(sp) Kiss which is half amaretto half Southern Comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sicsinohio Posted February 16, 2006 #24 Share Posted February 16, 2006 RCCL's strawberry coladas are good...layered half strawberry daquiri and half pina colada. My favorite warm weather drink is half cranberry juice, half champagne, with a dash of triple sec and a wedge of lime. They used to serve these at TGI Fridays, but I forget the name they used for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicpesq Posted March 2, 2006 #25 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I have not had this on a cruise, but got hooked during a stay on St. Thomas: (Note, all rums are Cruzan) 1 oz each of Pineapple, Banana, Orange and Coconut rums 1.5 oz each of orange, pineapple and cranberry juices floater of Dark Rum mix, serve over lots of ice in a large glass (actually, its a little bucket) Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
