Best drink to have on all inclusive holiday?

[namechange269]

Currently on an AI holiday. There is every type of cocktail, mocktail etc on the menu. I normally just drink wine but feel I should try something.. recommendations?

Do you like very sweet drinks or not? Lots of cocktails are rather sweet

I like working my way through the cocktails.

But if I had to pick a few

Strawberry Daquiri
Pina Colada
Gin & Tonic

I would skip wine on AIs - it’s invariably nasty stuff unless very very high end - usually safer on G&ts, vodka and tonics etc if included

Mojito
Caipirinha
margarita

only if they are using proper ingredients though not nasty premixes. If the latter then stick to wine!

Pina Coladas, if made well, are heavenly.

Part of the fun of AI though is working your way through the cocktail menu and trying some new things.

no don’t really like sweet stuff.

I've never drunk cocktails, mainly because I don't like sweet drinks, but at a recent family wedding DC and their partners were all drinking cocktails and suggested a Spicy Margarita. Wow, it nearly blew my socks off!

Depends how it is made but pina colada is heaven - if it is made with icecream or cream. It tends to have a whiter thicker appearance when made this way. Enjoy rest of your holiday op! 🍹

In that case, maybe try something like a Negroni or a margarita, or a mojito but specify less sugar

Not too sweet and wine based:

Mimosa
Sangria
Kir Royale
Aperol spritz (very bitter)
Dry Martini (very strong as not much mixer)
Negroni

Not wine based:
Margarita
Old Fashioned
Bloody Mary
Mojito

That's where I'd be heading anyway!

The only acceptable answer to this is a Margarita (spicy marg also permitted).

Or a fizz (cremant or champers or English sparkling wine preferred).

Or, if it is particularly summery and you want to feel a bit party, a Hugo Spritz.

Anything else is just a waste of time (imho)

I like and old fashioned, or a simple highball. I don’t have a massive sweet tooth.

A gin martini (with a twist not an olive, olives are gross) is another favourite.

Spicy margs are my favourite, so that's what I'd have.

A big, juicy Hooogo Spritz for me please

I like short cocktails so Martinis (espresso is my fav) or Margarita or a Cosmopolitan are always good.
A spritz is nice and summery if you want a longer drink

Espresso martini 👌

thanks for recommendations..

have had a Hugo spritz- v nice
also a magarita- ok

Agree or caprihina without sugar.

Negroni can be very bitter but my DH drinks those

Negroni isn’t wine based. It’s def bitter though

Mojito, spiced rum and coke, blood orange gin and tonic.

A Long Island Iced Tea
Martini Espresso
hugo spritz

At an AI I like to start at the top and work my way down, then once I have found a couple of favourites I know what to order all week!

A negroni
Or a French 75
Or a whisky sour
Or a grapefruit gin fizz
Or indeed most gin fizzes

I think those are my favourite not-sweet cocktails.

I loved a Negroni when I was on my cruise, not too sweet

Pina colada.
