SpaceGirl Posted July 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I started a favorite food thread (and if you want to add to it, what your favorite dishes are, it should be on this first page, titled "Favorite Dishes"). Anyway, I'm pretty much just a water drinker, with the exception of a cup of morning caffeine (coffee or chai), and the occasional cocktail. What alcoholic drinks do you recommend on board (Ruby)? I'm not a huge fan of beer and wine, so I'm looking mostly for cocktail suggestions, though I wouldn't mind a wine suggestion if it's on the sweet side. I find most to be bitter, but I have liked a few dessert wines in the past. Mai Tai is one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4bob Posted July 23, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Try a glass of Port Wine. It is on the sweet side. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandrina Posted July 23, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 23, 2017 "Beverly Hills Iced Tea" - my favourite cocktail. It's strong and good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGirl Posted July 23, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Martini at Crooners. Any particular flavor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsqrl Posted July 23, 2017 #10 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Any particular flavor? My favourite martinis are the London Lemonade (tastes like its namesake -- but not too sweet. Very yummy!) and the Chairman of the Board (very strong!). Also, your ship has the best bar at sea, Adagio, up on Deck 16 next to Sabatini's. Definitely head up there at least once and try a Citrus Bellini. You can only get it in Adagio, and it is absolutely delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we can get champagne and wine with dinner, but can we order cocktails with dinner, too? Or are cocktails only available in the bars?

Yes, you can order cocktails with dinner, too. Me, though, I generally order in a bar on my way and then carry it in with me. The reason is that the waiter(s) are busy handing out menus and taking food orders at first, so I don't have to wait and I have it in hand already.

ar1950 Posted July 24, 2017 #13 Share Posted July 24, 2017 We usually like a Chairman of the Board or a Rob Roy in the PES lounge, although it seems those may have been eliminated from the menu -- (I know, I know, we can still order them at regular price). El Mejor Margarita. :hearteyes: That too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovevacadays Posted July 24, 2017 #15 Share Posted July 24, 2017 When I feel like being a "purist" it's a straight up Tito's or Ketel One :confused:martini and I ask for one of the free olive trays. When I want something creamy and sweet I really like the Rasberry Creme Brûlée Martini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you buy something on the ship that costs extra (cocktail, dinner at a specialty restaurant, etc.), does it automatically get charged back to the room, or can you pay credit card there?

zogrand Posted July 24, 2017 #17 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I really like Key Lime Pie. It's sweet and creamy, not too heavy. Try it, you'll like it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffeeluvr05 Posted July 24, 2017 #20 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I love a good gin (Bombay sapphire or Hendricks) martini (or 2) straight up with olives before dinner. Or, I love a good manhattan! If I'm having a good cut of beef I usually will order a glass of a decent Cabernet. With dessert I will usually have a glass of Cognac and end the evening with a cappuccino. There really is food with all of that! :') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Because my travel companion signed up for the cruise, it's his card that's attached to our room. Instead of putting everything I buy on my card and paying it off at my leisure, I have to write him a check for it at all once, when he gets his credit card statement.
