drink suggestions for my upcoming vacation

[xanis]

I'm taking a family vacation at the end of this month to an all-inclusive resort in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. As you might expect, "all-inclusive" really does include everything... including the bar.

I'm not a huge drinker. I've had typical college stuff like crappy beer and jungle juice, but that's about it. Since alcohol is already paid for, my mom suggested that I use the opportunity to try different things and find out what I like.

The problem is, I have no idea what to order. I'll pretty much try anything aside from a White Russian (doesn't appeal to me at all). Any suggestions? Oh, and no appletinis. I'm not a bitch.

Also... I made Lifer, yay! It's been a long time coming. JohnCU requested that I profess my undying love for him when I made Lifer, so here it is: :lips::heart:

Of course.

Men don't drink white russians. Go for standard mixer cocktails - rum and coke, bourbon and coke, gin and tonic, mohito, that way you can taste the spirit. Pina Coladas are always nice. Men do drink pina coladas cause it gets the ladies.

Yeah I know.

I wanted to ask this question anyhow, and I really didn't feel like getting banned, so I figured that this was the best topic for my Lifer thread.

Just tell the bartender to give you something special. Those are usually killer drinks that put you on your ass. You and the wife will thank me later. Well, hopefully she will.

Going with my parents, yes.

Ok then, I'll have your mom thank me

But seriously, just ask them to give you something special. I've never been dissapointed when I've done that.

No vodka and cranberry. I had that combo one too many times and now the smell makes me want to vomit.

Good call, I'll try that.

Stick to non-alcoholic stuff. You can get drunk anywhere, why waste a trip wasted?

 

[TallBill]

Margarita, vodka + sprite, long island ice tea... *shrug*

I never said I was trying to get trashed. I just want to sample some things so I can find out what I like and don't like... oh yeah, and so when I start going to the bar back home I know what to order and don't look like an idiot.

First time I did that was my 18th birthday, first night at the bar. The bar tender knew I had just turned 18 and I asked for something interesting. He gave me a tequila shot with tobasco sauce. Ugh!

Drinking is not a binary activity. It's not like you're either completely sober or completely wasted; there's a LOT of middle ground.

Yeah it was pretty awful. At least I didn't puke it straight back up like my mate did.
