I do not see them listed anywhere (checked several lists found on this board) but I am wondering if Royal Caribbean ships (in particular Anthem of the Seas) serves the following cocktails:

 

Slo Gin Fizz

 

Alabama Slammer

 

Thank you for any info you can provide.

Sorry, but it would be my belief that ANY bartender, on ship or land should be able to make these drinks in order to call themselves a bartender!!

I wouldn't over-think it - you're on vacation after all!

CHEERS!

 

It has nothing to do with the bartender.

The main ingredient(sloe gin) is kind of necessary to make it.

Heck, they didn't have any Creme de Menthe on Grandeur in August.

 

And they ran out of Cachaca.

 

 

I was told in April that no Crème de Menthe on any Royal ships anymore. I did enjoy it this month on the Celebrity Equinox.

Thank you for confirming that I am an "old fart"!!! ;p

Come to the UK, you'll be very fashionable. :)

 

Sloe gin (in fact all kinds of gin) has become trendy in the last couple of years, there are specialist gin bars popping up everywhere. Not sure RCL has caught on yet but I bet it won't be long until the ships sailing out of Southampton will have a bigger range.

They don't show basic drinks on the menus...but yes, they can make ANY drink! If YOU know what's in something that they don't know, tell them, and it will be done.

Somewhat difficult to make a sloe gin fizz if they don't STOCK sloe gin. Duh.

Yup. I was impressed on Liberty when the bartender went off to a restaurant to get honey to make my wife a Black Jack. I gave her the recipe and she made it. Did a pretty good job at it too.

 

But OP, if you're into "serious" cocktails you're probably not going to find them on the ship. I tried to get a Sazerac, but they don't stock absinthe. They're best at making things like pina coladas and other tropical drinks. They try to make more interesting drinks, but they haven't caught up to the good bars on land. Their best effort this last cruise was a tequila sunrise riff with mezcal, but as with most of their mixed drinks they added way too much sugar. And the mezcal they were using wasn't the greatest either.

Nicknamed "Mother's Ruin" in UK after Hogarth's "Gin Lane" print of 18th century London:(:D:cool::evilsmile:
