I love those fruity, girly, sweet, sugary, slushy drinks......Miami vice, mango tango, woo-hoo, and purple shit......But also, until I get sick of it a couple days into the trip I order a lot of long island ice teas. I gotta give it to them there for that, they don't use the pre-mix like 99% of bars here in Toronto.....I'm sure the proportions are wayyyy off, but they get you twisted in a hurry.......By night though, it's all about the vodka/water with mio now. Big ups to kevin_Ailsha for introducing me to that concept.
I've had good luck with the Skyy Vodka - waters too...but try it with PowerAde Zero Drops or Vitamin Water Drops rather than Mio. You've then got hangover reducing electrolytes in each drink. It's almost good for you...well, that's what I tell myself.
We usually go for 10-12 days...and over that time, we drink everything we can think of. The sweet blender drinks are perfect for between lunch and dinner or to nurse away the previous night's hangover. At home, we love beer...but not every day for two weeks. Dos Equis happens to be my favorite import back home and I always prefer tap beer over bottles...so I'm pretty happy with the one choice available. At night, it's usually Skyy Vodka with water, Sprite, soda or sour. By the end of the trip we're usually getting pretty creative with the bartenders. I don't know whether the drinks are watered down or not...if they are, that's probably a very good thing, because I remember many nights stumbling back to the room followed by many killer hangovers.
Good call.....gotta check out the flavours. We also usually finish/start the day at Temptation with a packet of Gastrolyte....Maybe a placebo effect, but we have never had a hangover since starting this routine. The only tough part is remembering to take it when you stumble back into the room completely trashed.
Try each bartender's variation (they are basically the same, but each has a "spin"" of the Wet Pussy shot. Very important. Miami Vice, Mango Tango are solid options. Tiger's Rainbow Shot is a Must Do! Did I mention that the Wet Pussy is just MADE for doing bodyshots, that's always good... Stacia drinks a thing the tenders at the premier deck bar started calling Stacia's Water, which is vodka, a sparkling water (Pellegrini? Perrier?) and a twist of orange, lemon or lime drop rind in water. Clean, but will fuck you up if you're not careful, it's half booze...
