whitsmom Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Our Alaska cruise (July) will be with 3 other couples and with having the drink package I will want to try some new (to me) drinks. Any suggestions? Hubby is a bourbon guy mostly but likes the occasional frozen drink. Me on the other hand like the fruity, frozen, and wine.

rjac Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Buffalo Trace bourbon for your husband. Very hard to find in the states, but, Royal has partnered with Buffalo and has it on board and you can buy it by the bottle in their liquor store. Buffalo is a very smooth good tasting bourbon. I prefer mine straight with 1 or 2 ice cubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no shortage of Good Bourbon in Kentucky! rjac and mom2mybugs 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPS Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 If you want frozen & fruity, my wife's new favorite from the Schooner Bar on Grandeur this year was "Kiss On The Lips": Peach Schnapps, Mango Mix, Grenadine, & Crushed Ice. mom2mybugs, whitsmom and Skid 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLMoran Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I always recommend a margarita made with a reposado tequila. From the menus others have posted here, Sabor offers at last two options there -- the Sweet & Spicy, and the Grand(?) Margarita.

mbk999 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 It's a little old school but the Schooner Bar's Sidecar was a new favorite. whitsmom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLMoran Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Other thought I had for something new to try is a mojito -- light, refreshing, doesn't have to be made strong. And the flavor will vary with whatever fruit the bartender adds to it (mango, lime, etc.) whitsmom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate bourbon more now but still have no desire to drink it straight. In things maybe...give me a good mixed drink with bourbon.

Might add, R-Bar drinks are notorious to having an ingredient that might only be at that bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetsTryThisPlace Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I must agree with the Lava Flow, both my wife and I really enjoyed it. Also, the Royal Castle was a nice strong drink with lots of citruses. I think even your husband may enjoy that one (minus the cup it comes in, although I thought it was fun but with alcohol package it would be extra anyways so just skip the cup ;) ) mom2mybugs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGTLH Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 All this Buffalo Trace talk is wanting me to bust out the straight from the barrel Blanton's I have. Also, please don't hurt me for this comment. Adding Blanton's makes for a killer whipped cream. Still need to work on that ratio or heavy cream to Bourbon. whitsmom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RestingBird Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Since @KLAconQueso hasn't chimed in yet I'm stealing one of her possible answers...pineapple juice and Patron (reposado if they have it). It's not my favorite, but I had to try it once I saw her mention it on here...pretty darn good. KLA and whitsmom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSUFAN Posted June 21, 2023 Report Share Posted June 21, 2023 Mrs Fan started getting a BBC (Banana, Bailey's, Coconut) on the last trip at embarkation. It's a whipped up frozen thing that seems more like a spiked milkshake. I still like a good Bloody Mary for breakfast. I took advice from another poster and brought a jar of blue cheese stuffed olives to add to the Bloody Mary. Dad Gum that was good advice. Then for me the rest of the time is Buffalo Trace on the rocks (my preference at home is Tennessee Whiskey over bourbon, specifically Dickel 12).

GoldenTimeHero Posted June 21, 2023 Report Share Posted June 21, 2023 My top two are the mango lava flow with karken and the hennessy margarita. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
