Diamond Lounge or 3 Drinks at Bar - what are the best mixed drinks?

[MCazer]

ok, I will be allowed 3 drinks at a bar or drink in Diamond lounge during their hours, but was wondering what to order

 

I can do a glass of wine, but would love to order something fruity and cruise like to get me in the vacation mood!

 

But, I am allergic to pineapple,(as much as I love it)

 

I have tried googling rum drinks but they all seem to have pineapple.

 

I also like vodka as long as it is mixed with something

 

Anyone have some good mixed fruity drink recipes that I would be able to have made with the limited alcohol choices that you get with Diamond perk?

Long Island Iced Tea.

Long Island Iced Tea.

 

Holy crap! I think I would fall down if I tried to drink 3 of those!

 

I just google how to make it!

 

(Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour vodka, rum, gin, tequila, triple sec, and sour mix over ice; cover and shake. Pour cocktail into a Collins or hurricane glass; top with splash of cola for color. Garnish with a lemon slice.)

Very good start to the cruise!

[MCazer]

Ooohhh, they all sound so good! I just realized a Cosmo would be good too!

Cape Codder (or "vodka cranberry") or possibly a sea breeze, vodka with cranberry and grapefruit juices (in the lounge, some bartenders will get grapefruit juice if you ask nicely).

[John&LaLa]

Long Island Iced Tea.

Can you get that outside of the lounge?

Don't forget to ask for the lime. [emoji6]

Don't know if it's universally available when using a voucher, but I've been able to before.

Nice that Royal does this. We enjoyed the vouchers at the various bars.

South Beach Iced Tea: It's a Long Island but instead of the splash of Coke, Cranberry.

 

Don Quixote Iced Tea: same but with a splash of Midori instead of Coke

I don't think that they are going to give you Midori with your vouchers.

They did a few weeks ago on Explorer.

Mojito?

I don't think you can get this with a voucher. So I usually go for a Lemon Drop or Chocolate Martini.

I agree. Cosmos are not only yummy and not as sweet as some other drinks, they are also so pretty in a martini glass!

Major shocker. Which bar?

This is an important thread for diamond/suite guests! I am happy to have gotten all the free advice. Also, seriously, will they do a Long Island Iced Tea in the Diamond or Concierge lounges, complimentary like? I never thought to ask. I usually just get a simple 7 and diet coke or something like that.

My go-to drinks are Jack-and-Ginger (Jack Daniels bourbon and ginger ale), White Russian, and gin-and-tonic with lime.

My wife likes champagne, mimosas, and white zinfandel.

The free drink selections in the lounge and bars are limited -- they have a list of what you can order, so ask to see it.

If you have a Diamond Lounge, your concierge can suggest drinks.

Note that you can get drinks in the lounge and still use the 3-free-drinks from bars.

You don't actually get a voucher for these 3-free-drinks -- It is simply loaded to your ship's card each day.

The bar drinks are available only at certain times in the evening -- usually corresponding to the Diamond Lounge free drink schedule.

You can always get a glass of wine and take it back to your cabin to drink later if you want, including drinking it outside the cabin at, say, the piano bar or dance club.

I've been able to get the Long Island Iced Tea in the DL and CL. However, they sometimes don't have the sweet/sour mix on the first night, so it may take until night 2 before they can serve it in the lounge.

Good info to have!
