Taishartrueblood Posted June 10, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Thank you all for your help. So we are doing Haven this year and have the drink package of course. I like alcohol but I am not a big drinker, i certainly drink more on cruises than i do on the rest of the year combined. I generally stick to the drinks i know.. beers, whiskey sour, tropical sweet drinks, brandy alexanders, etc. Anyone have a favorite drink that they would recommend to try, even if it wouldnt be something i would normally order in a bar? Also, do you know if they have Blanton's Bourbon? Edited June 10, 2022 by Taishartrueblood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shrike Posted June 10, 2022 #7 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Go to the Mojito bar. Work your way through everything on the menu...yes, including the jalapeno mojito. 😄 I like trying different Ports after dinner. I enjoy Port but rarely drink it at home because it's pretty much all empty sugar calories and I try to limit those. But on vacation, empty sugar calories don't count, right? 😁 I'm not a big mixed drink fan. A splash of water in my bourbon is a mixed drink to me. But I do like getting an Old Fashioned at Cagney's or a Rusty Nail after dinner. I get the DOTD pretty much everyday mid-afternoon. My wife absolutely loves NCL's Mango Meltdown.

Good recommendation, although with a qualifier: if you don't like excessively sweet drinks, ask the bartender to tone down the simple syrup.

1kycat Posted June 10, 2022 #10 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) No on the Blantons. They had Bulleit, Jim Beam, Woodford Reserve, Bookers, and Whistle Pig Rye. Stick with Woodford.

A Lemon Drop is tasty - either a drink or a shot. I'd love to see a comprehensive list posted if someone has one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a warm day on shore, a Miami Vice really hits the spot and for sail away I love a glass of fancy Champagne that I would never have at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikitikitavii Posted June 11, 2022 #19 Share Posted June 11, 2022 If you enjoy bourbon: Bourbon Smash or Gold Rush, both are refreshing cocktails! If you like root beer and can find at a bar, bourbon and root beer. Sounds bad, but quite delicious!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife loved the Mango Meltdown <insert Peter Griffin Woah woah woah.gif> Stick with Woodford over Whistle Pig? 🤣 Whistle Pig is only included in Premium Plus, but it's literally why I buy the package. IMO, get piggy with it at least once on the rocks. Edited June 11, 2022 by chillyw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylenyc Posted June 16, 2022 #25 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) Mudslide Cocktail (on the rocks not frozen) or White Russian if NCL is still upcharging for Bailey's. Godiva Chocolate Martini. Anything with chocolate 😄 Appletini is nice. Edited June 16, 2022 by kylenyc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
