JLMoran 6,969 Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 To riff a bit on the Favorite Food topic, what's your favorite after-dinner drink? For me, it's Bailey's on the rocks; optionally with a shot of espresso mixed in. Big Tule, ellcee and Ogilthorpe 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder how a cup of Chai would go with Bailey's? Chai is pretty much the only tea I even consider adding milk or other dairy-type products to.

CruzOnBye 142 Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Kraken and Diet for me! I've never ventured out much into spiked coffees and teas, but the more posts I read about them...why not try?! I mean, that is what the DX is for right? Sampling...

DandA 392 Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Usually head to the Schooner Bar, Sandy Collins for me and Brandy Alexandra for the misses. If still in the MDR maybe an Irish Coffee. JLMoran and Ogilthorpe 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ogilthorpe 964 Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 After dinner while at the restaurant, almost always a sambuca straight up (with a couple coffee beans) and a double espresso on the side (or should that be the other way around?) JLMoran 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its served in a martini glass.

Limoncello in Italy is nothing more than moonshine. I had to go and climb comm. towers the next day. It was NOT pretty. Amaretto. UMMMM.....love it. Try a pina colada with Amaretto (vs rum).

HeWhoWaits 1,236 Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Sadly, my favorite after-dinner drink on the cruises no longer exists in its purest form. Loved the daily special layered drinks in the special shooter glasses you could keep. We have quite the collection of those glasses and have parties for our friends where we serve different layered drinks we've tried over the years.

Pima1988 1,071 Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 In the restaurant it is always cappuccino and a shot of Amaretto. Schooners it is the Sandy Collins. Ogilthorpe and JLMoran 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joshgates 156 Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 On my way to dinner a stop at the Wonderland bar for a Rolling Stone, although looking forward to trying the urban garden martini at CP150. After dinner an espresso martini or another stop up to Wonderland to ease into the evening before switching to Titos and soda with a slice of orange (occasional splash of cranberry too).
