Been away for awhile... Important question...

[callmedeb]

...Are Wang Wangs still a thing?

 

;)

 

Seriously though.

[sail7seas]

Welcome back.:0

Sorry, I have no idea if they are a thing. Not something i ever 'indulged' in. :)

That would knock me flat. :eek:

[ithaca gal]

Was on two HAL cruises last

Month. Never thought to ask!

[kazu]

They are still available. If you don't see them on the bar menu, just ask. The bartenders know the recipe :)

[Krazy Kruizers]

The bar tenders on all HAL ships know about the Wang Wangs and how to make them. The recipe is passed on from one bar tender to another one -- even new bar tenders quickly learn how to make them.

Just ask.

Had a few last month at Happy Hour. As Kazu says, not on any menu, but widely available in all bars.

Wasn't it Copper, here on CC that got it going as 'the thing? :D :D :)

Now I need to know what's in a Wang Wang. Do I really need to try one?

A lot of people like them.

 

Here is the recipe courtesy of Copper from another Wang Wang thread:

 

All the ship bartenders are familiar with what a Wang Wang is, and can make you one

 

1/4 oz Vodka

1/4 oz Gin

1/4 oz White Rum

1/4 oz Scotch

1/4 oz Bourbon

1/4 oz Tequila

1/4 Triple Sec

1/4 oz Brandy

 

Top it off with Pineapple and Orange Juice

 

Add a splash ofGrenadine

[sail7seas]

I got tipsy just reading the recipe, again...... :)

[callmedeb]

I'm set then =)

 

Thanks All!!!

[beachbum6264]

Thanks for the recipe... pineapple and orange juices - fruit, that makes it healthy, right?

 

I see a Wang Wang in my future.

[ski ww]

I love them, great at sail away. Just the thing to start a cruise off right.

The Assistant Cruise Director on the Volendam told everyone doing Trivia about the Wang Wang (probably trying to generate sales for the Crow's Nest). Apparently it is a "Staff Favorite" with 5 top-shelf liquors and I forget the rest of the description. From the recipe, I'm wondering which ones are top-shelf? I gathered you can get hammered with just one drink. Pretty safe to say they will still be available for your upcoming cruise. ENJOY! ;p

Are they covered under the Signature Bev Card?

Are they covered under the Signature Bev Card?

 

If they're $9 or less they are. I'm not sure I could walk after one of those!! :eek:

 

(But I'm going to try one on our upcoming Eurodam sailing - we have the SBP) :D

I think I would like to try one too! Around these parts, I believe the same drink is called a paralyzer! :D

They are covered by the SBP.

After reading the list of liquor in that cocktail, I would guess it costs at least $ 9.00 ;p

[Sea42]

It is only a 1/4 OZ of each so 2 OZ of alcohol. So it may cost what any double shot cost. Not sure how much that would be.

[*Miss G*]

I had a couple (on different days) and I can guarantee you they used less alcohol than that. At least on my sailing.

[KroozNut]

By the SBP rules then, that would count as 2 drinks against your daily 15 drink limit.

[billbunger]

Wang Wangs are considered a single drink, depending on what ship you are on there can be various recipes for it. As for the supposed amounts of liquor that are poured the bar tenders do not measure the amount of each liquor used. They just pour away.

 

Some do lots of liquor some do less. How do I know? I have been drinking them for years. A good bartender will keep you happy.

 

Happy hour Wang Wangs are a great deal.

 

BTW they are considered one drink and you are charged the regular cocktail rate regardless of the amount of liquor poured.
