what is mixology?

[momtoleasawav]

I have seen a few mentions of this and it sounds interesting, what exactly do you do? is it expensive? can you book from home or do you have to wait until you are on board? thank you

Mixology is an awesome class that teaches you how to make several different types of mixed drinks. It's $15 a person and you have to wait to book when you're on board. We usually stop by guest services as soon as we board to sign up. This is the one class we don't want to miss. We've done the other tastings too, but mixology is the best!

Sounds like fun? What drinks are included?

 

[momtoleasawav]

are they all different drinks or specific, martinis etc...

I've done Mixology twice, once on the Dream and again on the Fantasy. On the Dream, it was about 10 people in the group, and we were broken up into pairs (well, I think it was 3 groups of 2 and 1 of 4, so no one was mixing with someone they didn't know). The drinks made were a Gin Martini, Margarita on the rocks, a Mojito, a Sunken Treasure & a B-52 (layered shot). The bartenders provided intsruction on how to do it, but the pairs made the drinks for the others involved.

We also did this on the Fantasy back in June. We had a very active DISboards and Facebook group for this cruise, and someone called to see if we could have a private session. DCL was very nice and granted us this request. They set the limit to 50 participants, and it was now 5 groups of 10 people mixing drinks. The list was slightly different. They had us make a Champagne cocktail, a Caparihna (sp?) which is similar to a Mojito, a Paris 75, a Sunken Treasure (rum, amaretto, OJ & cranberry), and the B-52.

Both times DW & I had a blast, and we hope to be able to sneak in a session on our upcoming 3-Night in Sept and on PCC 4.0 in Dec. I think the large-group version was better, not only because of the drinks, but being so active here and on fbook prior to cruising, it seemed like we were just a big group of friends rather than one couple and 8 strangers (2 of whom we chatted with for the duration of the cruise).

YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE A SUNKEN TREASURE???? I LOVE that drink!!!! I know it's got pineapple juice at the bottom & then I'm guessing blue curaçao at the top making the center green. I love that one. Hope I learn how to make it in December!!!

I knew how to make one...it's been a while, I'll see if we wrote down the recepie

ETA: if you haven't tried a High Tide, try that...equal parts Malibu, amaretto, oj & cranberry shaken over ice

 

[TifffanyD]

haha we didn't write it down but I found this online:

1 oz Malibu coconut Rum
1 oz Midori
orange juice
pineapple juice
.05 oz Curacao
Splash of Sprite

Pour Midori & Malibu rum into ice filled glass, fill rest of glass with equal parts of orange juice and pineapple juice. Shake.
Top with Sprite & float of Curacao.



I am thinking that should be .5 oz curacao... bcz who measures alcohol to the 20th of an ounce???

I'd agree with the 1/2 oz vs. 1/20 oz. unless it's medication, i doubt anything would be measured by the 1/20 oz.

1/20 oz converts to 1.47ml - LOL!!!

I think total wine MIGHT have a generic-y one (Midori is kinda $$$). Also you can check on the price of amaretto there
