best drinks for a newbie

[mjkbaok]

I rarely drink alcholic beverages at home, but on a cruise I like to enjoy one a day or so. I really enjoyed the Pina Coladas on Carnival a couple years ago. We are cruising on the Ruby on March 28th. What are some good drinks I should try? Not TOO strong. Remember, I don't drink much.:D

Try the Dirty Banana..it is delicious.

 

If you want something that does not taste strong but has high end liquor in it try the Captain's Bounty (high end Rum's) or the Beverly Hills Iced Tea (all high end liquors).

 

Enjoy!

Pina coladas are the best on Princess!!!!!! :D

I do not drink much either but on the cruise I had a few. I loved the 3 berry daquiri. It was fruity but not to strong.

[John & Kelly]

You are right about the 3 berry daquiri's. They were delicious!!!

Have no fear about Princess bartenders making the drinks to strong.

I've always been curious about chocolate martinis. Are they any good?

 

Thanks to all who gave suggestions. I'll try not to enjoy them all in one day:eek:

I see this kind of comment alot. I always make friends with a bartender (a little extra tip never hurts!) and have never had a problem with watered down drinks... in fact, the drinks are maybe too strong.. :p.

Try Margarita -- 24K Gold. We always get it strong.

 

After dinner: Limocello

[Colo Cruiser]

Ultimate Cooler. :D

[billie5]

pina coladas and margaritas are both good choices for newbies. I would suggest also daiquiris.

The Mojitos are great. Sweet, limey, minty, YUM. Ask for a tall glass, for some reason they have started using the smaller ones and it just isn't the same.

[tradogna]

My favorites are the Pina coladas and dirty banana. I also like a bailey coffee. Have fun.

Another vote for ultimate cooler:D

As long as your not driving, you might try the Long Island Iced Tea.

Even though Princess makes weak drinks, this one's good. :D

IMHO, the Beverly Hills Iced Tea is waaaay better!

I'm sure this advice is true. However......"Martini Bars" are a pet peeve of mine. As a self proclaimed martini aficionado (check my avatar :D) I take exception to the casual use of the word "martini". These very delicious drinks mentioned above are in reality mixed drinks served in a martini glass.

 

Martini (cocktail)

 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

 

The martini is a cocktail made with gin and vermouth. Sometimes, vodka is substituted for gin, although this is properly called a vodka martini. The drink is almost always garnished with an olive or, less commonly, a sliver of lemon peel. It is often described as being "crisp" or "astringent". Over the years, the martini has become one of the most well-known mixed alcoholic beverages. H. L. Mencken once called the martini "the only American invention as perfect as the sonnet",[1] and E. B. White called it "the elixir of quietude".[2] It is the drink of the one-time "three-martini lunch" of business executives, now largely abandoned as part of companies' "fitness for duty"[3] programs.

 

I really need to get a life!!;)

 

Enjoy your cruise and your cocktails.
