I don't have the official Royal recipe.

PINK GRAPEFRUIT SPARKLE
Chops Grille

 

 

Substitution:

Absolut Grapefruit Vodka for Belvedere

 

 

This is Royal's photo of this cocktail in their recipe guide. I don't know where it got its yellow color. The ingredients are almost all clear.

LAVENDER VODKA MARTINI
Chops Grille

 

 

 

This drink has a cousin in the Schooner Bar menu - the Lavender Daiquiri - which has rum and lemon juice, while the Martini has vodka and lime juice. They're often confused with each other.

SPARKLING ROSEMARY LEMONADE
Chops Grille

 

 

 

Homemade Sugar Free Rosemary Syrup

 

 

 

Another color mystery... this is Royal's photo of this cocktail. Where did it get the pink color? I'm thinking they might have meant "rose syrup" instead of rosemary.

 

 

Speaking of rosemary, I did not like the flavor that it imparted to this cocktail.  Maybe it was meant for pairing with the steak at Chops. I wouldn't have it by itself.

Anyone know of a booklet with all of these great recipes? If not, I may have to start one for myself! Thanks for all of the great drinks recipes! I don't think our cruise is long enough to be able to try them all but I'll give it a go!😬🍹

I don't have a booklet but my photo recipes can be compiled into a photo book.

DESERT PEAR MARGARITA
Aromatic & Fruity
New Schooner Bar Menu 2023

 

 

 

Substitution:
RÈAL Prickly Pear Syrup for Monin

 

NOTE:
Someone posted that a bartender on Royal gave her the recipe and it had Cointreau in it. Other websites, not connected with Royal, also have Cointreau or Triple Sec in their recipes.

 

For some reason, Royal skipped this ingredient in their official recipe. You might want to ask the Royal bartender to add it to your drink.

One of the servers (in casino) suggested I try a watermelon margarita and it was great.  Any idea whats in it or it already pre-mixed?   Thanks

They use a Margarita mix (could be Sunsational or Island Oasis brand) and Monin Watermelon Syrup for that one.

Looks very interesting. I had to look up 3/8 oz. Looks like it's equal to a tablespoon.

I prepare a batch of the  "Passion Fruit Guava Base" for cocktails.  I really didn't have to measure out 3/8 ounces for this.  But to get to the 1 1/2 oz measure for this recipe, I had to put in the 3/8 oz.

3/8 is about a 3/4 of a tablespoon (2.25 teaspoons).

 

To make it simpler, just add half an ounce of each ingredient.  2 teaspoons of each will also work.

 

I love Math, but not in the kitchen, so I have a lot of odd-sized measuring spoons. lol

Me too. I probably need to get some odd size measuring spoons. I'll try it using 1/2oz for everything except the rye. I like to make Tiki cocktails and the measuring has to be exact in order for it to taste right.

Nice! We are scheduled to cruise on Navigator next October. Excited to try the Bamboo Room. The menu looks good. It will be interesting to see what rums they have. My Tiki rum and spirit bottles is getting out of hand.

Hoping they have the rums on their menu

I've been doing the Math on the ingredients I don't have.  Yikes! This is going to break my budget! lol ... and I only need a few ounces of each.  I only need 0.2 ounces of that $60+ Laphroaig.

Yes it's never ending. I found that getting all the different syrups can add up fast too. You've got a good list. THe SMith & Cross is a must have for Tiki cocktails. It's got this great Jamaican funk to it that makes a cocktail complex. On Bamboo's menu it looks like they use some good ones. I think instead of the Bacardi Superior I would rather they use Bacardi 8. Most of the Bacardi rums aren't very good and most Tiki bartenders only use Bacardi 8. I recommend getting Plantation Rum. I have the 

3 Star (light)

Plantation 5 Year (aged)

Plantation Dark (dark)

Plantation OFTD (overproof)

That's why I make my own syrups.  I can make them in small batches.  I make sugar-free version.

 

With this project of mine, I'd have so many bottles of Monin in my pantry if I bought all the syrups in the recipes.

 

[Sea Dog]

Making your own syrups is the way to go. I only have made simple syrup and rock candy syrup plus some cinnamon syrup so far. Some day I would like to tackle a Orgeat but I use Liber & Company's Orgeat which is fantastic. I have a lot of the Monin syrups which I like.
