gjohns24 Posted June 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I'm mostly a beer drinker (and some whiskey) on land, but when I get on a cruise I'm all about the Pina Coladas and Mudslides! My wife and I always say we are going to branch out and try some different drinks, but we have a tendency to fall back into the same few drinks (she likes Vodka Sodas) once we get onboard. We are on the Equinox sailing on June 25th and are determined to branch out into some new drinks this cruise! We always upgrade to the Premium package, so it's the perfect time to broaden our horizons. So my question is this....what are some tasty drinks for us to try this time around? What are your favorites? We are going to bring a list this time, and I'll report back with my drink reviews! :whiskey-glass::champagne-toast::beer-toast::tropical-drink::cocktail::wine-glass: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted June 20, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Head to the World Class bar and try some of the unique drinks there. Of course if you haven't tried the Martini Bar - my favorite there is Lycheen martini, the Banana split martini, Chocolate martini, Tropitini, Flirtini, Peartini - actually if it is made with vodka I like it:D The Equinox has the Gastropub so since you like beer checkout the beer selection.

Islander500 Posted June 20, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Don't miss the Zacapa Old Fashioned at the World Class Bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise_Dancer Posted June 21, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 21, 2017 At the martini bar the Lychee Martini, Saphire Ginlet, and Sunset Martini were all fantastic. The Sky Lounge has a variety of zodiac-themed cocktails that were all fantastic; sadly we didn't finish the list. The mojitos and margaritas are always excellent. I love caipirinhas but was disappointed by the ones on board. I found the cocktails on the MDR list (Mexican Firing Squad, Loss of Words, etc.) to be universally "fine." The wines and beers available in Cellar Masters were outstanding. The Qjito in Qsine and Smashy Japanese in Sushi on 5 were my two favorite cocktails aboard the ship.

chadwickx16 Posted June 21, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Don't miss the Zacapa Old Fashioned at the World Class Bar. I second this choice. Also, small up-charge, but the 25th Anniversary Martini at the Martini Bar is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted June 28, 2017 #15 Share Posted June 28, 2017 My "go to" is Vodka tonic. They are tasty and refreshing. Not really into goopy drinks, like pina coladas or mudslides....you simply can't drink more than 1 or 2, before you're bloated with all the extraneous stuff in those drinks! And, mixing different alcohols almost guarantees a hangover. I'll drink beer if I want to drink for hours....and vodka tonics if I want a buzz for dinner....I know what works for me!

BuckeyeMan Posted June 28, 2017 #16 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Wish there would be a column for frozen drinks so I could tell which ones are frozen drinks. I prefer frozen drinks while on cruises. Great list though. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFLG Posted June 28, 2017 #18 Share Posted June 28, 2017 There are also some very good cocktails in Sushi on 5. You can jsut go in and order the drinks but the appetizers are pretty good in there. So have a few appies and a try the cocktails ( I found the rolls and the sashimi to be below par compared to a good sushi place on land but the appies were pretty good). And of course just work your way thru the menu at the world class bar. The Zacapa old fashioned, the Citrus Gold and the Buck stops here are my favorites.

Great list though. Thanks for sharing. Hi there, anything that is listed under the name " SLUSH" (rows 75- 84) would be frozen drinks. This venue is just frozens I believe.

GordonJasmine Posted June 28, 2017 #20 Share Posted June 28, 2017 My favorite used to be pina coladas (our traditional sail-away drink), but the last cruise I couldn't stop with the grasshoppers. Yummm!!! Also loved the kalua and cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
