**ALD1976** · June 16th, 2015, 02:29 PM

Hi all! My question is directed mainly at the many repeaters here on the MB.
Will be at CTI for first time in August this year. I plan on trying ALLLLL the cocktails haha. Tell me what your favorites are, and if possible, a general idea of whats in it

59 days!

**Mad Jack** · June 16th, 2015, 03:57 PM

We've been to CTI twice.

I like getting a Pina Colada with a shot of Rum Cream. My wife usually just drinks Red Stripe.

Enjoy your stay in paradise

Only 242 more days until we return to Couples.

Tons of threads on this already but I am sure you will get LOTS of replies again

Dirty bananas will probably be the number one answer. They are DELICIOUS!

* 1 oz. Creme de Cacao, dark (DeKuyper)
* 1 oz. (Angostura) Rum Cream
* 2 oz. Milk
* 1/2 whole Banana
* 5 cubes Ice
* 1/2 oz. Sugar Syrup

His is a Smile Jamaica (or Jamaican Smile, don't recall exact name) and her's is an Appleton Breeze. The drinks very by resort as they have the Appleton Breeze on the menu at CN but not CSS. Had to teach the bartenders how to make it.

Hummingbird
rum cream,
Tia Maria
Milk
strawberry syrup
Banana

Okay. Still learning my way around the MBs. I will play with that search function and see what I find.

That dirty banana sounds YUM-O! I love "girly drinks" and enjoy just about anything fruity with rum. This rum cream that seems so popular....I have never had, but CAN NOT WAIT to try it out!

and since I just posted yesterday and I am one day closer lol.....58 days!!

**JEANNEW** · June 17th, 2015, 11:44 AM

Rum Cream on ice. Ingredients are rum cream and ice, LOL. Kind of like an ice cream bar or a drinkable dessert.
Also, when I can't think of what I might like, I just order a surprise...never been disappointed!!

**Janicek** · June 17th, 2015, 11:45 AM

For something really light and refreshing when it's hot, hot, hot ... we like the Mudslide and the Vodka Slush. The Mudslide is not at all like they make in restaurants with ice cream.

**D&S** · June 17th, 2015, 11:55 AM

Rum Punch, but there usually is a drink of the day which is worth trying and often time the bartender will have a specialty drink they like to make up for you.

**CouplesRocks** · June 17th, 2015, 01:15 PM

Yes, we too love the Hummingbirds and the Dirty Bananas, both that have been mentioned already, but we like ours with a rum cream float!
(That's an extra shot of rum cream on top - like they serve with the Jamaican Smile, also a favorite)

But if you're looking for something shaken or stirred, VX and cola is my husband's go-to, and Yellow Birds are mine. What's in a Yellow Bird? ...

Dash of Tia Maria
1 oz Dark Rum
1/2 oz Creme de Banana
1 oz Appleton Special
Orange Juice
and Simple Syrup

**ALD1976** · June 17th, 2015, 02:24 PM

WOW! Is anyone else feeling suddenly very THIRSTY?!!!

I am making notes to try all of your suggestions and to bring back rum cream since it sounds like you can put it on anything and it be great! lol

The vodka slush and yellow bird is definitely going on the list as both sound delish!

**calgontakemeaway** · June 17th, 2015, 02:41 PM

Mai tai or vodka with ting. Or beer

Don't forget to wash all these fruity, sugary, delicious drinks down with Red Stripe.

**Crabracer** · June 17th, 2015, 05:32 PM

Appleton rum and Jamaican Lemonade It's called a Crabracer.

**LakeH2O** · June 17th, 2015, 08:46 PM

Not a big fruity drink person, but at CSA I had my fair share of the Key Lime Martinis. The chocolate Martinis were pretty tasty too.

**Kelly-girl** · June 17th, 2015, 09:04 PM

My favourite is vodka slush. It is basically vodka, lime juice, simple syrup and ice blended into a yummy slush. My husband loves the banana banshee. I tried to look up the recipe, but there were too many versions! If anyone knows the Couples San Souci recipe let me know.

Jen and I have a silly name for a vodka ting. We call them "Ting Tangs". Not sure why, but it makes me smile.

Probably because of the song....ting tang, walla walla bing bang

**llstar5019** · June 24th, 2015, 10:06 PM

What is the Appleton Breeze? I would always ask the bartender for their recommendation.
Never a bad drink. But my favourite is the classic Rum Punch.

**gerryandsusan** · June 25th, 2015, 03:32 PM

Her - Jamaican Smile
Him - Double VX and Ting

**CM318** · June 25th, 2015, 04:41 PM

My favorite is a blended fruit punch with rum!!

**StaceyR** · June 25th, 2015, 06:44 PM

What exactly is a "hummingbird"? These drinks all sound delicious. I can't wait!

**ORV** · June 26th, 2015, 10:01 AM

My favorites, Lychee Martini

the drink that tastes like a Brownie, forget the name.

**jgsaks** · June 27th, 2015, 06:29 PM

Very simple. Johnny Walker Black on the rocks.

**blondie56** · June 28th, 2015, 04:19 PM
