Ok so I have seen this "word" on a few posts. I believe it its a drink, but whats in it...

[Sue L]

It is a category of drink rather then a specific drink. It is a just a name for the frozen tropical kind of drinks with the little umbrellas in them. :p

[cb at sea]

It's an overpriced, under "alcoholed" frozen drink! You'll get more "bang for the buck" with a regular cocktail!!! (They make them strong!)

foo-foo drink

An alcoholic beverage that is way too pretty or feminine. These drinks are usually characterized by lots of whipped cream, multiple fruit decorations and/or umbrellas. Also, they tend to be low in alcohol content.

Oh, that so totally depends on the bartender...

 

On CocoCay in January, the bartender poured a bunch of rum in the bottle of the container (1.5-2 inches in the bottom of the plastic lidded container you get drinks in on Coco Cay and Labadee) and then filled it with a bunch of pre-made pink fruity slush.

 

Later in the day we went back for more Coco Loco and he had run out of rum so he used Absolut instead and he poured in a buncher (3-4 inches) of that and they're even better that way.

Foo Foo or Froo Froo. Here in south Texas many of us say Froo Froo. No matter, it means the same thing and can be used correctly to describe many things not just drinks!

It stands primarily for "Frilly or Fancy", double loaded, throw down, over the top, SanFrantastic! Not just simple or ordinary! And that's the story....:cool:

I looked this up once a while ago. It's actually "frou-frou", and it means feminine, silly, flighty. The word is French, and it is supposed to imitate the sound of a lady's silk dress swishing as she walks; hence the sound "frou-frou".

 

Just a little useless information to add to your day!!!:D :D

Frou-Frou Drink History

One of the most common sights on a cruise ship is people on the sun decks drinking frou frou cocktails. Just what is a frou frou drink, and where does the name come from?

Frou-frou word history from randomhouse.com:

 

The word frou-frou is first recorded in English in the early 1870s. Its original sense was 'a rustling, as of silk on a woman's dress'. An example that the Oxford English Dictionary cites from 1871: "With a frou-frou of soft silk she arose." This sense also appears as a verb--"frou-frouing skirts," for example.

 

The current sense, 'elaborate or frilly decoration, as on women's clothing', is also found for the first time in the 1870s.

 

The word frou-frou is a borrowing from French, in which it is first found in the 1730s. It is ultimately of imitative origin--the word is supposed to sound like the rustling of silk.

Absolutely!! RCI has the strongest cocktails of the three cruiselines we have cruised with. Foo-Foo drinks (or fru-fru, as in "fruit") tend to be prepared for the casual drinker. The cocktails mixed at the bars off-deck are much stronger.

My husband and I were sitting at the Schooner bar across from an older gentleman. DH was drinking a "Frou-Frou" and playing with the umbrella. I was drinking a beer. After a while the gentleman shook his head and said, "That's just wrong. She should be drinking that pink concoction, not you. "

 

We both burst out laughing. :D :D :D

Definitely! You get an awesome bartender pouring those Coco Locos and you're going to be in trouble! Especially if you're drinking that instead of water and playing basketball and volleyball in the sun. I felt the effects of that one for sure!

 

Which reminds me...I gotta go through those sunken plane pictures and get them organized. :)

That's a good question. I've never been there, although I can say that the possibility of it happening exists. The closest I've come is being unable to tell if I was swaying because of the rough seas or because of the bottle of wine I had with dinner.

It's actually "frou-frou" from the French. It means something overdressed, frilly, overdone. On a ship, it refers to the frilly drinks containing something pink, alcoholic with lots of fruit in it topped by a paper umbrella. Can also be yellow......

 

also frou-frou n.

1. Fussy or showy dress or ornamentation.
   
2. A rustling sound, as of silk.

[French, of imitative origin
