Redshoe Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 (edited) I am a very amateur drinker. I usually stick to the sweet, fruity, frozen drinks so I dont have a large repertoire of favorite mixed drinks. Given the list of available liquor in the Suite Lounge, what kind of mixed drinks can you recommend that they would be able to make? This will be my first time in a Suite so I’m unsure what to expect. I often do Amaretto or Midori sours, have tried a lemon drop and liked it if that helps, but I don’t like rum and coke or beer. ETA: I’ll be on Allure if that makes a difference Edited May 24 by Redshoe Added detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsten Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 I just got back from Oasis and the bartender in the suite lounge made me a drink with elderflower liquer, vodka, sour mix, club soda, and a dash of strawberry puree for color. I don't like really sweet drinks, so I asked for it to be light on the elderflower and sour mix. It was very tasty; you could ask for more sour mix and elderflower if you want it sweeter. THey also had other liquers to make sweeter drinks. Redshoe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordell1 Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 They will be able to make most drinks, including frozen drinks. They are free, so this is a good time to try some new ones! Redshoe and CruisingOz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Post-covid they order from the main bar, so you can get anything. Pre-covid they had a mini bar set up in the lounge so options were limited. CruisingOz and Redshoe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that changed very recently? Redshoe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both my post-covid cruises so far people were getting frozen drinks Maybe it was just a couple of nights I tried their blender was down or something, I normally don’t ask for frozen ones but did this last cruise. I don’t honestly recall what I ordered on our S2S symphony - allure post Covid (Nov). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 I was on Allure post-covid and no frozen drinks. I like sweeter drinks as I am a lightweight, so I often got Bellini's, the drink of the day and tequila sunrises. Redshoe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Ogre Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 Why is it that when ever I ask for a whisky they always ruin it by adding ice. I never asked for ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't ask for my beer, coffee, milk, OJ, tea and such neat and they don't come with ice. I was not mad about it just disappointed and sent it back.

I could see how a waiter would assume the rocks Kirsten 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"wink" I always drink Whisky no "e" Whiskey is a distilled spirit made in America or Ireland. Whisky is a distilled spirit made in Canada, Scotland or Japan. So yes, I drink whiskeys primarily, but sometimes whisky, likely Scotch. WAAAYTOOO and Jolly Ogre 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
