skwak Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Hello: We are on the Adventure of the Seas in about 3 weeks. I was wondering if everyone could share some of their favorite cocktails that they enjoy on the RCCL ships? Any special fruity concoctions that everyone can share? Cheers!

KathyC Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Matt is going to put in a vote for a lava flow with Kraken rum floater on top. I usually drink a martini or mojito, and before bed enjoy a toasted almond. My husband likes the Godfather, or just straight whiskey.

function12 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 The BBC!!! Delicious!!!! It is Baileys, Banana liquor, Rum, and Pina colada mix. Pool side will put in a fresh banana too sometimes. recre8di, CruisingOz, fmzsep12 and 5 others 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGTLH Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 One could call it "Coma in a Glass"... Reality it is a Mudslide done in the way of a Lavaflow. SpicyCherry, mom2mybugs, Skid and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDunninTX Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 I've done the martini class a couple times on the Oasis of the Seas. Every martini was fabulous. I had several more thereafter. Skid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So on the Deluxe Drink Plan, you'd get the Lava Flow, then just pay the up-charge for the shot of Kraken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Deluxe plan the Kraken is included...you're just specifying the type of rum to be used in the Lava Flow. If you have the Refreshment package then order a virgin Lava Flow with the Kraken on the side and it will be charged as a single shot rather than a frozen alcoholic drink.

They're technically supposed to charge for the floater shot, the package only officially covers single-shot drinks, but in my experience they rarely do. Be nice to your bartenders!

FreedomClassKid Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Although its simple, a good Pina colada was just great for me and I loved it! I also saw there was a drink that was a mix of Pina colada and strawberry daiquiri. Theres also a mix of mango daiquiri, strawberry daiquiri and Pina colada and that just sounds divine Skid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the difference. A lava flow is supposed to be a pina colada with a "lava flow" of strawberry puree added to it. The strawberry shouldn't be blended in with the pina colada.

Cruiser4Life Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 I was on my fifth RC cruise before I was informed that the Lavender Daiquiri on the menu at Schooner was not a daiquiri but a delicious straight up martini…. I don’t like frozen cocktails so I always skipped over it… now it’s one of my favorite drinks on RC… still have no idea why they call it a daiquiri.

Schooner has both… the lavender daiquiri is rum based and is one of their signature cocktails. They also make a lavender martini (vodka based) for Chops. The martini is personally my favorite cocktail onboard and I learned the proportions last August on Odyssey and have been making them at home ever since!

Cruiser4Life Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 Thank you, my cruising friends! Shows how much I know… never thought about kind of liquor.. my college days erroneously taught me that daiquiris are frozen and anything served in a martini glass is classified as a martini. Trying to help others who followed my train of thought when looking at a cocktail menu… the lesson is.:: try new things! You are on vacation and have nothing to lose by ordering a drink you wouldn’t normally due to the description… Cheers! KJ777 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We make them at home now too. 1 shot of Banana liquor 1 1/2 shots Captain Morgan rum and Baileys 3 shots on Pina cola mix. Then ice 2 large drink cups of ice. When almost done blending.

D Alt Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 I like all the frozen drinks: Lava Flow with Kraken Love Connection (lava flow with mango puree) The banana one (didn't know the name) something similar to a Bob Marley but it's like a Lava Flow with Blue Curacao. Miami Vice there was also a shot they were doing on Oasis: 2 sipper - rum, pineapple juice and blue curacao. not sure what the real name is. just give me the blue drink!

Many a night it 'walked' me back to my room. It sometimes called me out of my room....in those cases I took both of our SeaPass cards and ordered a DOUBLE!! I also had the moment about why it's called a daiquiri but served in a martini glass, but whatever. Down the hatch it went!! Another keeper was the Curacao Cosmo. I got them all over the ship but the bartenders in the Suite Lounge definitely made it best!! Cruiser4Life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchy Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 8 hours ago, FireFishII said: Will you share the proportions for a martini please? Many thanks. Lavender Vodka Martini: 2 generous oz. Vodka (I personally like Tito’s) 1 oz. Monin lavender syrup (buy it on Amazon) 1 oz. Sour mix (some brands call it whiskey sour mix). If you have “sweet and sour” mix just do 1/2 oz. Shake over ice and try not to drink too many of these! Some people garnish with a lime wedge or a mint leaf, but I don’t think either detract from or enhance the flavor. Feel free to tweak the proportions to your liking! This version is sweet but not super sweet.
