Lemon Drop Martini is my favourite. 

Ask them to throw in a splash of maraschino cherry juice to turn it into a cherry lemon drop. Those are my favorites, but you can usually only get them at the martini bar.

 

I typically like the fruity and sweet drinks, especially the frozen ones. But for someone who doesn't like sweet - go to the whiskey bar and try everything on that list. You'll find one you like at some point.

Stand by, you may soon develop an affinity for White Claw 😉.

Aww, rats! I forgot about that hip beverage all the cool kids are chugging these days. I may have to downgrade my palate to coincide with the mac & cheese I'll be gnawing at.

Hi!

 

My sister and I are on the Sun on August 19th and she would like to try some new drinks.  Any recommendations?  She prefers drinks without a lot of sugar. 🙂

On our last cruise, I discovered Ketel One Botanicals grapefruit and rose vodka. That makes a wonderful spritzer when mixed with soda water or grapefruit soda.

Oh no, you said the "r" word...

We also love cinnamon toast crunch shots. These are rumchata and fireball. Very yummy! They just keep them coming when we give them a few bucks.

For those that downloaded the previous Beverage List, I have added additional beverages. That last edit was to add the six Mojito drinks that are included in the taste Flight. Enjoy.

This is a wonderful reference guide.  Thank you for creating and sharing it.

Another vote for aperol spritz.  It can be a bitter tart for some people, if so tell the bartender to add a splash of sprite to it,  personally I like it as is, but the waiter did tell me that.  And it’s a big pretty, bright orange, sassy looking drink!  What’s not to like?

@Warm-Water DiverThis is the recipe that I have in the above Beverage list. I actually got this recipe from NCL. I should have had a picture in the official souvenir glass. I like it when the bartender uses fresh berries for garnish. Enjoy. 

 

That’s one of our favorites. So good.

I also discovered that botanical vodkas and club soda drinks are a tasty and refreshing substitute for the sugary rum drinks I usually drink.

I know some suggest a bit of (Marishino)  cheery juice with this but I'm particular to Grenadine syrup... so sweet but only a few drops are all it takes.  

Cheers

complawer has proven to be the expert with the whine.

My go-to drink is a Painkiller. Specific to NCL, I love the Wasabi cocktail.

@CardFanDubG Thank you for compiling and posting the most EXCELLENT resource. Personally, I’m partial to the Aperol Spritz when cruising, but open to trials 🍸🍹😋

And thanks to the other posters .... hope to run into you and compare faves!

Does all of this list still work?   I thought the Margaritavilles were pulled from the ships.

Thanks. That website is mine created for the original Meet & Greet that I created it for. Looks like I need to update the site. Thanks for pointing it out. 

 

Hope you enjoy your favorites and find many new ones.
