When we sold our house we got rid of all of our "souvenir glasses" . Great memories, but we were downsizing from the big house and had no room. Now our first drink is a Hendricks dry martini for me with cocktail onions and a hot and dirty martini for my wife. We toast to a wonderful cruise and it starts out perfectly!!! What is a hot and dirty martini? Link to post Share on other sites

CardFanDubG Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) I always begin my cruise with a variation of a Moscow Mule that I call Kentucky Mule - Bourbon, Ginger Ale, Orange slice. I created a NCL Beverage list for a Meet & Greet. Here is the Link to the List. http://grantmkt.net/ncl/NCL_Beverage_List.pdf Edited March 31, 2019 by CardFanDubG Link to post Share on other sites

hilcadon Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 A hot and dirty is a dirty martini with a few dashes of Tabasco sauce. My wife says they are really nice. Just a little kick from the hot sauce. My wife prefers Titos Vodka. Link to post Share on other sites

One, because it's refreshing, and two, because it combines two of my favorite things: gin and champagne. A word to the wise--two of these are great, a third will be the devil coming for your soul. 2 ounces gin (I prefer Plymouth but no one ever has it) ¾ ounce fresh lemon juice ¾ ounce simple syrup 2 ounces Champagne Long spiral lemon twist (for serving) Love this. This is all I can think about now. If I ask for French 75, will they do lemon juice and simple syrup or try to use sweet and sour mix instead? Link to post Share on other sites

If you tell them how to make it they should be able to. I’ve never had a problem. Link to post Share on other sites

I have already downloaded it to my computer and will be taking it with me on my cruise in 2020. I think I am going to attempt to make a couple before the cruise to see how I like them. Thanks again.
