miched Posted May 4, 2023 #101 Share Posted May 4, 2023 We went to Sushi around noon. I ordered a drink and was told that the bar (World Class Bar) that made the drinks wasn’t open. They could try to get the drink from Cafe Al Bacio. It was terrible. I had the premium drink pack but if I had to pay for it I would be pissed. HINT Read between the lines about where the drinks are made. Sometimes it pays to get on friendly terms with the BTs at the WCB.

Here are those that I like Antica Formula 1786 vermouth Cochi Vermouth Not many places sell them because of the cost it usually doesn’t sell before the shelf life. I have had both on Celebrity. Sometimes you have to ask, the same for those cherries. I have found that if you get in a discussion with the BTs about the finer ingredients they will accommodate you as they appreciate someone that is fairly knowable. I will also ask for Fever Tree Ginger Beer, sometime they have it. I like bourbon so I will make a “Mojito” with bourbon instead of rum. Instead of a Moscow Mule I will make a Kentucky Mule using Bourbon, Fever Tree Ginger Beer and some Domaine de Canton. Just some info about getting some real premium drinks on board. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🌅🇺🇸 Cocchi is my favorite for manhattans. You are absolutely right, this one is hard to find. I will have to drive to Washington DC to get some. Punt e mes is good too, but again hard to find. YouTube channel How To Drink had a video some time ago, tested manhattans made with different rye and vermouth, and it is very entertaining to watch.

Just a lot of fun and the bartenders were always fun. I am enough of an uncouth barbarian not to mind a shaken Martini and I spent many nights working through the gin list. I could have written this comment myself, swapping gin for vodka. Loved the martini bar on our first Celebrity cruise and really looking forward to it on the next!

Rare groryjm Posted July 3, 2023 #106 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I'm a bit late on this thread but agree with you @Moochi that Carpano Antica is far better than the cheap Martini Roso.... Good news we were on Reflection a couple of months ago and they had it in the World Class Bar 😎 and on Shilouette last year they also had it in the World Class 🥃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
