UBP - Must try cocktail/drink list!

[Warm-Water Diver]

nope. showed them the list and no go.

 

WOW. If you tried that at several bars and were denied, I would've sought out to have a nice conversation with the HEAD of BARSTAFF.

 

That's ridiculous to deny making certain cocktails for no good reason, especially when you can tell them what's in it and they have the ingredients. Just makes no business sense and is terrible from a customer service standpoint:mad:

 

As a personal experience; I have had several bar tenders ask me what's in a particular drink after requesting it, but NEVER had them deny making it once I gave them the ingredients.

We love martinis. Haven't missed a martini tasting on any ship yet! My favorites are the chocolate martini and the cosmopolitan. I don't know why the cosmo onboard is so much better than any I make at home.

 

Kinda sad that the UBP doesn't include the tastings. I know we can just order the same martinis and make our own "tastings" but it's not quite the same or as fun as the silly games and giveaways done onboard during the martini tastings.

My sail date is coming up and I am so glad I found this list. Love trying new drinks and so does my hubby! Thanks for putting this together!!:)

I just go with the flow - while I was disappointed, there were many drinks still to try.

 

Maybe because the barstaff is overwhelmed, they can't do special requests - I was amazed at how many bars had only ONE bartender and MASSIVE crowds.

Best Thread Ever.

I had a fantastic new drink on Getaway a few weeks ago...but I can't for the life of me remember the name!

 

It was Hendrick's muddled with cucumber & basil and shaken with a splash of white cranberry juice. I had never had gin before (I'm a red wine kind of girl) but it was AMAZING!! I was very sorry I waited until Friday to try it!

So, do you guys order a different drink every time you order or do you stick to the same one. I would be bombed if I tried all these, especially on the one day. Lots of different liquors in these mixes and you know what they say | don't mix your drinks" and I am a Scot!!!

BOTH!!

 

I stick with something I like - but never pass up the chance to try something new! [emoji6]

Updating the list to add:

 

Rum Cake (YUM!)

Cherry Limeade (cocktail)

Cherry Limeade (shooter)

 

Thank you so much for preparing this. It will come in handy in December. :cool:

I did several martini tastings on my Epic TA last year, and my absolute favorite of all of them was the Cosmojito! Absolutely great hybrid of a mojito and a cosmopolitan.

Since many have the UBP and the new bar menus have limited drinks listed, I have created a list of beverages that have been mentioned on Cruise Critic. Here is the LINK for Beverage List.

Thanks!!!:D

The Banana Banshee I had on the BA was made differently than on that list. I do not remember all ingredients but it defiantly had vanilla stoli vodka in it. Delicious.

Safe sailing

The best part of the UBP is being able to try new things without feeling obligated to finish them :D If I paid for a drink, I would feel that I had to drink it, but with the UBP you can try something, and if you don't like it, try something else!

Thanks!!

You have to take it without the souvenir glass or it would be over $10.

 

 

Or if you want the glass they'll charge your acct for the overage

I discovered Expresso Martinis this cruise! Oh my!!

[travelerblue]

I see the Twilight Zone on the list and it is one of my favorites but I have only had it on my one and only Carnival cruise. When I asked for it on the Breakaway they had no idea what it was. I even had my friend text me the ingredients and they just smiled and shook their heads. Has anyone ever had one on NCL?

[Tiggertastic]

I tried the passionate kiss, frozen drink, yummy but had 2 and not Bly were they completely different in taste but also in colour

[Grampyshottub]

:cool: A Lemoncello Martini with Absolute :eek:

[motleyfan]

So excited to try some of these

[MrMan]

Bloody Mary in the morning made with Jagermeister instead of vodka. The Jager gives the tomatoe juice a basil taste.

 

WARNING:

One of these will make the buffet taste like the best food you ever ate

Two will make your babies come out crooked

Three will make you do things that give the MDR Gladis Kravits' something to whine about

[perkydebrajean]

The Expresso Martinis sound good! Are they available at any bar or do you have to get them at the martini bar?
