cocktails on CB

[Seayalater]

I agree with most posters that the rum punch on sailaway and Captain Circle meet & greets are fruit punch and ice..no bang for your buck there.

A nice deal on CB is available at Crooners Bar where they make GREAT martini's and giant margarita's. If you spend $3 extra they give you very pretty cocktail glasses, (cone shaped on a colored ball base) in colors of Red, green or blue.

They are prewrapped in bubble wrap and boxed so are easy to bring home.

They have a cocktail of the day special too.

I highly recommend the Margaritini (nice kick) and the Mojito's.

Did they muddle or just throw some mint in a glass with Bacardi Limon and club soda? I had one on the Valor and it was just this side of disgusting, and hardly a Mojito.

I had a couple of mojitos on the Coral last spring and they were some of the best I've had (IMHO)

Thanks! I'll Hope for the best, but still plan on packing the "makings" for my own. :)

No, they muddled with fresh mint! They are quite popular on the ship. Crooner's was my favorite hang-out spot and you can see all the comings-and-goings around. It's also fun to try a different martini each day. Normally I do not like Cosmos but their's were not too sweet and very tasty...and so was the Watermelontini, the Rasberrytini, and oh yes, the Milky Way martini! :D

I really think it depends on the bartender sometimes. I don't think the understand the importance of muddling. I had some AWESOME mojitos on a cruise, to having some nasty ones in some upscale bars. I always ask if they muddle. If they don't I don't order one.

I just made a batch yesterday for my friends. I used so much mint and lime, lemons simple syrup made half a pitcher almost. I only use a spash of club soda. EWWW just barardi LIMON and club soda is not a mojito.

What's a Mojito?

[renata102]

its is the most refreshing drink straight outta cuba....

 

muddle mint on the bottom of a glass, I add a whole lime (squeezed), some simple syrup Muddle some more... add about two shots of white rum and a spash of club soda. I stir it. Get another glass with ice and pour it in the ice glass.

 

Some people use lemon, some use lime. try it next time you are out.
