MtnCliner Posted February 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) Just got off the Breakaway a couple weeks ago. We were happy to discover Mango Meltdowns, Peach Bellinis and the Miami Vice. All were wonderful poolside, soak up the sun fruity frozen concoctions. Cheers!

mjkacmom Posted February 21, 2022 #3 Share Posted February 21, 2022 A couple of my favorites that I first tried on NCL are French martinis and Le fizz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahtheRed Posted February 21, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 21, 2022 By the end of our last 7 day on NCL, we were probably 40-50% Raspberry Guava Mojito by weight. 3 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JGmf Posted February 21, 2022 #5 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Drink of choice changes as day moves on.... Coffee in a.m then spicy bloody marys by brunch-time. Once breakfast olives and sodium intake is done, settle-in to my version of a Moscow Mule: sub orange vodka for gin, sub orange slice for lime, and go half ginger beer, half club soda. The bar staff, after day one (with appreciative tipping by me) gets it perfect every time. Day two and thereafter: repeat. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare debenson0723 Posted February 21, 2022 #7 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I have become a Raspberry Guava mojito person too (thanks to Aubrey and Alaska). But have also been known to enjoy a Frose or Mudslide by the pool, an Aperol Spritz in the afternoon or a Glacier Blue (only available at O'Sheehans or the Local...one of those will make me loopy). Enjoy your cruise! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your cruise! I like Glacier Blue as well! Also, this isn't a drink I saw a lot of people order, but I love the Botanical Spritz that is made with that Grapefruit Rose Infused Vodka. It's basically just vodka soda but I found it very refreshing after so many syrupy drinks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare eileeshb Posted February 21, 2022 #11 Share Posted February 21, 2022 My favourite is a matador, they don’t serve it at all the bars. I have to be careful with some of the others as I have a corn intolerance and seem to have developed an allergy to vodkas made from corn (yes I know how well distilled they are, argue with my immune system it’s incredibly contrary). but I do like a mudslide I if can get it made with a safe vodka. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastcat Posted February 21, 2022 #12 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I adore gingery flavors and hey, it’s a seasickness preventative so win-win! On NCL I’ve forsaken Moscow Mules in favor of the Brugal Ginger Mojito at Sugarcane. And yeah, I’m another convert to the Raspberry Guava mojito thanks to Aubrey’s influence. When in the mood for something more sophisticated and almost savory, try the Napa Valley vodka & tonic at the A-List Bar. Or just say bleep to being serious and go for a Bushwhacker. No, make that a BBC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sailing12Away Posted February 21, 2022 #13 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Frozen grasshopper (think of a slushy frozen thin mint girl scout cookie) and frozen tiramisu. The grasshopper we were able to get in the main bar area this past week on the Pearl without a problem, but when we asked for a frozen tiramisu no one know what to do. Guess that might just be a bigger class ship/Haven bar thing. Espresso martinis are also good, but they come with an upcharge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ordered Rebellious Fish on the Breakaway last November, as it is our favorite 'first drink' onboard, but no longer. They mixed it completely differently from what we were expecting (two different bars) so we are looking for a new First Drink. gry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oteixeira Posted February 22, 2022 #18 Share Posted February 22, 2022 One I haven't seen mentioned is the BBC, one of my go to drinks. Basically tastes like a day on the beach, stands for Baileys, Banana, Coconut (I think)....just get it, you have the drink package. LOL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscalC8 Posted February 22, 2022 #19 Share Posted February 22, 2022 One of our favorite NCL bars was on the Epic - Shakers Martini bar. My wife and I both find many typical cocktails to be on the sickly sweet side. The basil cucumber martini and the citrus gem are both great alternatives to the sugary island drinks. It looks (unfortunately) like NCL has changed their recipe for the basil cucumber martini though; it used to be made with Hendricks which makes sense for a cucumber drink. They now use Beefeaters. This probably happened when Hendricks got bumped up to super premium. It was included in the package last time I was on the Epic (4-5 years ago). Oh well, you can always pay the (relatively minor) upcharge and get it done right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JamieLogical Posted February 22, 2022 #20 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Mr. Worldwide is my favorite cocktail ever and probably the only reason I fleetingly miss NCL. Though, I will say that on my last two Celebrity sailings, I have found bartenders that were willing to attempt to make it for me. On the first sailing, it took a few tries. On the second sailing, the bartender was a natural and nailed it on his first attempt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebellious Fish is my favorite. How can they mess that one up. Next week I will take one for the team and try one at every bar I encounter, just as an experiment of course. I like the Bushwhacker, BBC, chocolate martini, and the old standby, strawberry daiquiri. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takoyaki Posted February 22, 2022 #24 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I fell in love with the French 75 on our last cruise. It's basically a Tom Collins with champagne or proseco instead of soda water 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one cruise, our waiter was referring to us as Mr and Mrs Worldwide... 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
