What's Your Favorite Carnival Cocktail--off the menu...

We've all tried or read about the typical Carnival cocktails. What's your favorite off-the-menu cocktail on Carnival? I like a rum Ricky....rum, lime juice, club soda, and lots of lime wedges. It's like a rum version of a margarita without all the margarita sugar. So what's yours?

Malibu rum, lemonade and blue curacao-- not sure what it is called, maybe a Bu Lemon ;)

So I had this on my first cruise, but having had anyone be able to make it since. They called it a "Manhattan Ice Tea" it was all the same liquors as a Long Island, but it was all top shelf liquors and instead of topped off with coke, they topped it off with Champaigne.....it was really good...lol

Dirty Martini !

I lover a good White Russian. Has anyone had one on Carnival?

Hurricane Wave. It's a frozen drink that's not as sweet as the others.

The good ol' Dirty Banana ... banana rum, kahlua, bloop of soft serve vanilla, half a ripe banana, swirl and enjoy!

I do as well! Had one or two most nights in the dining room on our last cruise.

Oh to be able to find a barkeep who knows how to make a REAL Zombie! I've tried on every cruise, and one or two have come close, but none have been able to get it RIGHT.

Fireball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grey Goose Dirty Martini for me.

Alchemy anything. I like gin and the bartender one time wanted to use me as a guinea pig for a drink he had read with vanilla and lavender. I don't remember what else he put in it and he didn't have a name for it but it was excellent!

Cricket, do you know what they put in the Hurricane Wave? I'd like to try it if it is less sweet. Thanks.

Yes, and for a smoother taste, I have a white Russian made with vanilla vodka.

I allow myself no more then 1 drink on a cruise, not a drinker, usually a Pina Colada as I love them but this year I believe I'm going to try a Dirty Banana

There's a drink on the Carnival drink menu that's called a Hurricane Wave - it's a frozen drink that consists of half lemonade daiquiri and have strawberry daiquiri. It is good and not as sweet (or sour) as those two drinks would be individually.

Ooh that is a good idea. I also like

Kahlua and cream with coconut rum. There might be a name for that but I don't know. My sister gets a drink called a Smith and Kerns. (I think.) Name doesn't matter as she has to tell them how to make it. It's a kahlua and cream with club soda. Makes it much lighter than traditional kahlua and cream.

The vanilla vodka is a good idea. I actually like mine with milk instead of cream so its a little lighter.

Alchemy bar, strawberry basil coctail... sometimes I add chipotle spiced vodka for a spicy strawberry...

B52 - equal parts Grand Marnier, Baileys, and Kahula

Yummy to have a couple of those after dinner!

Good with coconut milk too.

I always seem to order The Cruiser a few times a sailing. My g/f loves the Mocha Chocolate Getaway.

Piña Colada with a shot of Kahlua.

Twilight Zone with Midori instead of Blue Curaçao

Dirty martini from Alchemy Bar with blue cheese stuffed olives. The bartender started making it as soon as he saw me walking up.
