When there’s no need to splash the cash, splash your glass instead.
There is no reason not to be a little adventurous when all your drinks are free. The joy of going on all inclusive holidays iS that you can treat yourself to a drink you have always like the sound of, but didn’t want to spend your cash on it just incase it was awful.
So, consider these ten cheeky little numbers that you wouldn’t even have to lift your wallet for.
Cosmopolitan
The high of sophisticated chic, this classic blend of vodka, cointreau and cranberry juice will make you feel every bit the glamorous traveller as the name suggests.
Mojito
The most popular thing to come out of Cuba since sugar, funny hats and hand-rolled cigars, the mojito is all things to all palettes. This cocktail is a classic favourite and is perfect for an evening by the pool.
Kir Royale
If you’re the type who likes the bubbly with a bit of a twist, then this is for you. The sweet dry flavour of champagne and creme de cassis makes this cocktail the perfect aperitif. A perfect opener before that all-inclusive dinner!
Margarita
The great thing about margaritas is that no two batches are ever the same. The simple base of Tequila, lime and syrup can be augmented with all manner of fruity combos. Remember that there are only two types of people in this world: people who have margaritas with salt on the rim of their glass and those who don’t.
Pina Colada
The Pina colada is a sweet sip-able surprise, supposedly a morale-booster for Puerto-Rican pirates in the 1800′s.. Hopefully it won’t raise any piratical tendencies in you, keeping your all-inclusive cruise plain sailing.
Long Island Ice Tea
Despite the innocent-sounding name, this baby is a serious cocktail. Being mostly alcohol, its best to take your time over the Long Island Ice Tea, lest the vodka, gin, rum, tequila and triple-sec all go to your head!
Pink Lady
This classic combination of Gin, cream and grenadine is the perfect accompaniment to a night out searching for that T-Bird who’s the ‘one that you want’.
Negroni
A marvellous cocktail with a murky past, the Negroni is a mix of gin, vermouth and campari, making it a bitter-sweet drink that speaks volumes to those who want an aperitif with a little more bite to it than a Kir Royale. (Featured here below the Pineau)
Caipirinha
This beauty from Brazil is bursting with vitality; with a little brown sugar add to the main ingredient of Cachasa, mixed with lime and cordial. It’s certain to have you up and out on the dance floor along with the best of them.
Martini
Perhaps the most recognised cocktail from the world of film, the Martini is all about the little differences; do you prefer it straight up? With a twist? Shaken or stirred? If in doubt, just ask for what James Bond would have.
