Plz recommend ridiculous drinks w/ umbrellas in them
So, I'm taking my mom to The Palms in LV at the end of May. They offer a free night when you purchase 2 during selected weeks and it makes for a nice bargain because you can get the rooms much cheaper and The Palms is a pretty nice place.
Anyway, THIS time I am not going to play poker or do any kind of gambling at all, not in the least, none! It'll be dinner at Delmonico's and The Phantom, shopping and the comedy show at the Trop, which by the way, is a great show for $20 and you should check it out. Mom will play the Wheel of Fortune and sneak off to play the Megabucks when I'm not looking even though I tell her only 2 people a year win it but she says that means she has a chance. Anyway, part 2, I'm actually going to spend a good amount of time at the pool at The Palms. I've seen a couple of pools in LV from my hotel window and once, in 1995, I went out w/ swim trunks on and almost went in the pool at the Mirage but I only lasted 5 minutes and then it was back to the craps table in my flip-flops. So I was thinking that while laying out at the pool at The Palms I can order drinks from those really young, incredibly hot honeys that they have working as attendants but I don't want to drink my regular drink (Grand Marnier) because that is not a suitable drink for lounging at a pool, I don't think. So I figure that this is the time to try some of those absolutely comedic looking drinks that you see in the movies sometimes that always make everybody laugh. The ones in the coconuts w/ the paper umbrellas and other ornamentation hanging out of them, but I don't know what any of them are called or if I'll like them or not so: If any of you folks know the names of some of these silly drinks (the more outrageous the better) I'd appreciate you letting me know and also what they taste like and how many I can drink before I become dysfunctional. For references' sake I get that way after 6 Grand Marniers in an hour. Thanks for the help. |

Bacon: What's that?
Samoan Joe's Barman: It's a cocktail. You asked for a cocktail. Bacon: No. I asked you to give me a refreshing drink! I didn't expect a fking rainforest! You could fall in love with an orangutan in there! Bring me a pint. Samoan Joe's Barman: You want a pint, you go to the pub. Bacon: I thought this was a pub! Samoan Joes Barman: It's a Samoan pub. |

OK, here you go. The Pina Colada. http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/6...acolfu3dh1.jpg [/ QUOTE ] That's a good one, and it has the paper umbrella. Of course I've heard of it before. Do you think they would put it in that coconut for me? Hey, did anybody watch Ed Furlong's video? It's very funny. I'd like to know the name of the blue drink in the gigantic snifter or the drink in the half-coconut with the 'face' on its side. |
Re: Plz recommend ridiculous drinks w/ umbrellas in them
Lava flow. the white stuff is coconut juice or coconut rum. the red is strawberry fruity goodness. when it's served, the red and white layers mingle giving it it's name http://www.waimeabrewing.com/waimea/...-lava-flow.jpg

Hurricane
http://www.mardigrasoutlet.com/_imag...cane-cup-f.jpg A couple recipes: Original 1 oz vodka 1/4 oz grenadine syrup 1 oz gin 1 oz light rum 1/2 oz BacardiŽ 151 rum 1 oz amaretto almond liqueur 1 oz triple sec grapefruit juice pineapple juice Pour all but the juices, in order listed, into a hurricane glass three-quarters filled with ice. Fill with equal parts of grapefruit and pineapple juice, and serve. New Orleans Style 1 oz white rum 1 oz Jamaican dark rum 1 oz BacardiŽ 151 rum 3 oz orange juice 3 oz unsweetened pineapple juice 1/2 oz grenadine syrup crushed ice Combine all ingredients, mix well (shake or stir). Pour over crushed ice in hurricane glass. Best enjoyed through a small straw. Garnish with fruit wedge if desired. http://www.drinksmixer.com/cat/364/ EDIT: fruity but potent, esp. if made with 151 as specified. I also enjoy Mai Tais and pina coladas on rare occasions. If they make fruity margaritas, maybe you could try one of those too. ScottieK |

Re: Plz recommend ridiculous drinks w/ umbrellas in them
Excuse me? Excuse me, senor? May I speak to you please? I asked for a mai tai, and they brought me a pina colada, and I said no salt, NO salt for the margarita, but it had salt on it, big grains of salt, floating in the glass...
And yes, I won't be leaving a tip, 'cause I could... I could shut this whole resort down. Sir? I'll take my traveler's checks to a competing resort. I could write a letter to your board of tourism and I could have this place condemned. I could put... I could put... strychnine in the guacamole. There was salt on the glass, BIG grains of salt. |

My fave is Captain Morgan with pineapple juice. I know there is a similar drink with more fluff...but not sure of the name. |

Re: Plz recommend ridiculous drinks w/ umbrellas in them
Howard,
Hurricanes and Mai Tais are clearly the correct answer. Before you drown, make sure your will is up to date. Supportively Concerned, The Sucker |

Re: Plz recommend ridiculous drinks w/ umbrellas in them
There're a lot of good suggestions so far. I only have 3 days to drink most of these. I hope The Palms is up to it.
I am definitely going to ask for a Miami Vice. |
