tdggal1980 Posted May 1, 2010 #1 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Hey fellow cruisers! DH and I are sitting here (9 weeks out) from our cruise and we were talking about all the drinks we are going to have :eek:. We both agree to try some new ones we've never had before so we are looking for a little inspiration. Please post your drink porn so we can start making a list of the "gotta try" drinks. Thanks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted May 1, 2010 #2 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I suppose you could be advertureous and get the deal of the day (DoD)...There a different one each day and each comes in a different "cup". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourwaystreet Posted May 1, 2010 #3 Share Posted May 1, 2010 My favorite drink was a Captain and Coke, of course the Captain came onboard in a rum runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiddleEarth Posted May 1, 2010 #4 Share Posted May 1, 2010 One of my favourites... Try a Kilt Lifter... (some call it a Wee Willie) Teacher's Scotch and Drambuie And if you are really looking for something special.. Aalborg Akvavit... must come straight out if the freezer and served in a frozen, conical shot glass so it can not be set down. Straight down the throat in one gulp... At first, it anaesthetizes your throat and then a few moments later you'll get the bloom come back through your nose... You are allowed to follow it up with a Tuborg Guld Ol. (unfortunately, Carnival likely won't have the Akvavit.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can practically taste it now :D i got ya ;) the long island iced teas are very good... and it comes with a bonus... as one of the 'signature cocktails', you get a 5.00 casino MATCH with it... so, for 8.75, you get a 5.00 casino match - which, if you use it, makes the drink 3.75. which is a damn good deal! here's the poster they used to advertise this promotion on my last sailing (and a few of these drinks are pictured therein): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lillian marie Posted May 1, 2010 #12 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I love a dirty martini with double olives. The casino bars seem to make better martinis too than up on the Lido. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkcor Posted May 1, 2010 #16 Share Posted May 1, 2010 What other drinks are included in the match play? long island iced tea, the ultimate margarita, mojito, the cruiser, mai tai, sex on the beach... see zydeco's bar menu, linked here: http://zydecocruiser.com/Carnival-Bar-Menu/CarnivalCruiseBarMenu.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosefloater Posted May 2, 2010 #17 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I don't have any pictures, but I like the Lime Daquiri that they serve at the Past Guest Party. Sex on the Beach is good also. I also like the Miami Vice (1/2 Pina Colada, 1/2 strawberry daquiri) - drink is poured side by side, and the Twilight Zone (its a blue drink). Twilight Zone (from the Carnival Cocktails book) 1 fl oz Bacardi Light Rum 1/2 fl oz De Kuyper-Melon Liqueur 1 1/2 fl ozs Coconut Cream 5 ozs crushed ice Float De Kuyper - Blue Curacao Blend all ingredients together until smooth. Pour into glass and float the blue curacao over the top. (Some of the bartenders swirl the blue curacao around the glass.) Stick an umbrella with a slice of pineapple and a cherry.

bear5751 Posted May 2, 2010 #18 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I suppose you could be advertureous and get the deal of the day (DoD)...There a different one each day and each comes in a different "cup". I always have to have at least ONE, Miami Vice, I love them mmmmmmm but I am a beer drinker at heart and when not drinking a dod or the occasional Miami Vice I am enjoying an ice cold Foster's!

simplelife Posted May 2, 2010 #19 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I always enjoy a Blue Margarita. with Blue Curacao, Tequilam and lime juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optiron Posted May 2, 2010 #20 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Try Tequila--GOOD TEQUILA-NOT Cuervo but instead Cassadores,Sauza Commemrativo or Tres Generanciones either straight--sip it--it's very good or milder on the rocks with Amarretto=YUMMY. WARNING NOT TO BE SLAMMED!!Unless YOU want to get SLAMMED. Honestly though the better quality Tequilla doesn't give the bad hangover that rotgut does-sip it like a fine Cognac. I've always liked Mexicans better then the French. That Cognac just abused me. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhbbwfl Posted May 2, 2010 #21 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I've seen some people with bar tabs on their sign/sail card almost as high as the cruise cost! I can't imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I always order at dinner with my drink coupons. Now falkor made me sad. :( I thought I could handle it, not having a LIIT till I cruise in August. I'm going out right now to get one! I wonder if I'll get the $5 match play card? ;) wasiii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
