While I enjoyed most of the drinks I've gotten there, I still won't forget the first drink I had there, the Alchemist's Sidecar. Since we were doing pay as you go and I hate wasting anything (especially an 11 dollar drink), I forced myself to finish it, but it wasn't easy. DH on the other hand thought it was good, but then he didn't like the Caribbean Manhattan we tried next that I thought was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinks when we get a drink or meal anywhere that doesn’t make our mouths want to do a happy dance. I like to recommend the Alchemy as the mixologists will create a drink based off your preferences. They did that for DH who is mainly a beer guy and he didn’t leave the bar for quite a while after that concoction 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplelife Posted February 5, 2019 #29 Share Posted February 5, 2019 For my first drink after embarkation, I usually do a Mojito or Blue Margarita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I turned to Bud Light Lime to start off every cruise, only to find out on Miracle in December that Carnival got rid of that beer. So now I am faced with a big decision to make when I board Sunshine in less than two weeks. Carnival carries Angry Orchard. It's a bit sweeter than Strongbow (yum) but still a decent cider. I think you get a little more in an AO can vs. Strongbow too. On 2/4/2019 at 12:42 AM, babe97 said: I really love a Red's Remedy from the rum bar. I have no idea what is in it but it's delicious! My old go to was the green iguana from the tequila bar, but after realizing I was having sudden but mild asthma attacks after drinking them, I discovered I'm allergic to midori. So I know it has tequila and midori in it, but not sure what else. That's so sad, I enjoy a lot of midori based drinks on Carnival. Glad you were able to find something else.

livingthedream1 Posted February 6, 2019 #32 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Sidecar at the Alchemy bar. Chocolate Martinis at the atrium bar. We also have had a bartender make a green tea shot not sure what was in it but it was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare SRQbeachgirl Posted February 7, 2019 #34 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Kiss on the Lips is my first "go to" drink when I board. That frozen mango/peach goodness says "It's cruise time!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliot Ness Posted February 8, 2019 #40 Share Posted February 8, 2019 We always start with a Funship special, then I switch to a Miami Vice (half Pina Colada and half Strawberry Daiquiri) and alternate with a Twilight Zone: 1 oz Bacardi Light Rum. 1/2 oz Melon Liqueur. 1 1/2 oz Coconut Cream. 5 oz Crushed Ice. Float of Blue Caracao. I also like a good Mojito and hope the Havana Bar on the Sunshine next week makes a good one. Also looking forward to trying more than The Deal Closer at the Alchemy Bar.

FSHLOT Posted February 22, 2019 #42 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Start with a bucket of Bud light, and then a nice sipping drink like a Manhatten or rusty nail, and another bucket...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdggal1980 Posted February 22, 2019 #43 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I usually start with either a Long Island or a Kiss on the Lips. More so the Long Island as it packs more of a punch . DH always starts with a Funship Special. It's a Funship Special and a Guys burger - never fails! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandiLynn Posted February 22, 2019 #44 Share Posted February 22, 2019 My husband and I always get the Cheers package. I have three favorites. Kiss on the Lips is my first drink on board, Its very sweet so I can not drink too many, Its the "I am finally back on board drink". I also love the Lynchburg on Serenity deck. It is very strong and you can not have any worries after this drink. Lynchburg Lemonade Jack Daniel’s Whiskey, Patrón Citrónge and Lemonade. I also love the Spicy Re-Mix its on the NightClub menu but other bars on board will make it. Spicy Re-Mix Jack Daniel’s, chipotle peppers, lemonade, pineapple juice and cool mint leaves. But I have to admit that I can not drink many of these drinks and my goto drink Is Titos and diet Sprite in a tall glass. We also like to go to Alchemy Bar and get special just for us drinks made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
