Something more fun - what's your favourite drink order?

[JG&Lcruisingnewbies]

I don’t drink alcohol but these drinks do sounds good.

 

I was wondering what cocktails would make decent Mocktails please? (In addition to the Mocktails they officially have)

 

any other non alcohol recommendations most welcome too, thank you😃

Yes,  DH would enjoy that!  Wow, the price, though…….$220.00 Canadian.  Sorry.  no.  He can look at this lovely photo instead…..thank you.

A bartender at Good Spirits brought it out from the back to show me what they had just gotten in stock. She said she told the manager that $165 per bottle was a lot and was shocked when he told her that was the per drink price. Later it showed up in the app at that price (as shown above). The app just has a generic "drink" picture so I grabbed a shot of the bottle off the Internet and posted that as well. I would love to try it out but, like you, the price is way too much for me.

On a sea day on my recent NCL cruise, they offered a Macallan Tasting for only $20.  Decent instructor, and my introduction to Lumina, Quest, and Enigma - the last of which I absolutely fell in love with. But they did not have it offered at any bar, at any price. 
 

I need to find Enigma stateside, but the prices seem to vary by 50% up to $1000/bottle, so I haven’t pulled the trigger.

I'm a sucker for the frozen margaritas, which they prepare so they tower above the top of the glass.  (I know, it's a little boring, but that's how I roll.)

[CaptainPedantic]

Frozen jalapeno margarita is my new favourite after our last cruise, but also love dirty banana, Hawaiian tropics, frozen mai tai...

I'll have to go crazy and try the jalapeno margarita on our cruise this December!

We were cruising last week and I found the frozen Margarita on day 3, I had at least 2 a day after that, they are so good. I must check to see if I have any pics.

Yes--two a day is my typical cruise routine!

Anyone have any more cocktail suggestions?

Coconut Mojito & Ultimate Cooler

I am so glad I discovered the Atomic Pomm in Take Five on Sky Princess early on in our recent cruise. It's a keeper for me - green chilli vodka, pomegranate juice and lime. Delicious!! 

[alrichards4003]

I like margaritas normally but not my favorite drink, but for some reason the 24K Margarita is my favorite Princess drink. However, I also am partial to about half the martinis on the Crooners menu.

I have to try that. We will be cruising on a ship with Take 5 for the first time in October, and am interested in any other suggestions of their specialty cocktails.

In return, I am going to add my suggestions:

 

DH is very fond of the 24K (rocks, no salt), Chairman of the Board, and Pirat and Gulden Draak Belgian beers.

 

My favorites are an afternoon Aperol Spritz accompanying a good book in Crooners, Chocolate Mint Martini after dinner (not creamy), Espresso martini, and my secret menu addition - the Crouching Tiger Martini (vodka, lychee liquor, raspberry purée).  
 

Us wine drinkers need to keep filling out the surveys to get rid of the “generic” wine offerings.

What are your must-order drinks aboard Princess?  I want to make some wise informed choices within my 15 limit 

 

Is there anything off menu you'd recommend that they know how to make?

 

We have Princess Plus, but if there's something really special I'm not above paying the overage for something great 🙂

My new favorite is an espresso martini 

[spongerjoe]

Cosmopolitan made with Patron tequila instead of vodka. If Fátima or her crew in the Good Spirits makes it, all the better.

[marden1970]

Rossini - (Champagne and Chambord) and Lemon Drop

[bubbaed]

An off-menu drink I like to call the "Peachy Chi Chi" - it's basically a pina colada but instead of using rum, ask for it with the Grey Goose White Peach vodka (most bars should have this as a premium vodka.) Absolutely delicious and refreshing.

[KathyJ]

The toasted almond martini is my very favorite. Love the ElMajor Margarita as well!

[Ombud]

IMHO nothing better than a pot of vanilla leaf tea

[dides]

The Flamingo from Crooners - Midori Melon Liqueur, Apple Schnapps and Cranberry Juice.  Not a fan of strong alcohol and this came with plenty of camouflage!

We never get the frozen margaritas as they are just a bunch of ice. I know many seem to love them but...

I've seen a few votes for the Chairman of the Board, and I'll add my vote for that!
