Alchemy Bar Drink Recipes
The Alchemy Bar is one of our favorite places on a Carnival Cruise. There is just something so fun about watching these master mixologists create amazing cocktails.
I love that you can order off the Alchemy Bar Menu or ask the bartender to create a custom cocktail based on your favorite flavors.
Alchemist’ Sidecar
Alchemist’ Sidecar is a delicious cocktail with Hennessy Black Cognac, Patron Citronage Orange Liqueur, Lime Juice, and Simple Syrup. This classic cocktail tastes amazing and it easy to make.
Caribbean Manhattan Cocktail Recipe
The Caribbean Manhattan is sadly not on the current Alchemy Bar menu which means you definitely need to enjoy it at home. It is the perfect combination of Makers Mark Bourbon and Spiced Brown Sugar Syrup with a few other ingredients.
Cucumber Sunrise
The Cucumber Sunrise is the most popular drink at the Alchemy Bar. It is the perfect refreshing combination of Vodka, watermelon, muddled cucumber, and lime. This drink tastes amazing on a hot day or really any day.
Forty is the New Twenty
The 40 is the new 20 martini is pomegranate flavored and tastes amazing.
Martini Seduction
A delicious fruity martini with passion fruit, orange, and lime! This easy martini tastes amazing.
Quick Fix
The Quick Fix glows green and packs a punch! This drink is perfect if you love Absinthe. If you are not a fan of absinthe you can always use a little less to make it a lighter flavor.
Restorative Basil Drop
Super refreshing! This cocktail is a great mix of vodka, basil, and lime juice. Perfect for a hot summer day!
Spicy Chipotle Pineapple Martini Recipe
This martini has a bit of a kick balanced with the tart pineapple flavor. Made with Vodka, Chipotle pineapple syrup and more you will want to make a few of these.
The Deal Closer
The Deal Closer tastes like adult chocolate milk. The perfect combination of amaretto, chocolate, Irish cream, and Vanilla rum. So delicious!
The Perfect Storm
The Perfect Storm is a great combination of strawberry and rum flavors. Don’t let the name fool you this drink is the perfect drink!
Carnival Cruise Pool/Tropical Cocktails
When you think of a cruise vacation do you think about lounging by the pool and soaking in all the sunshine? I know I do!
There is just something so perfect about sipping on a fruity cocktail while soaking in as much warm weather as you can. I love all of the ports you can visit on a cruise but I also really like sea days. I used to dread them when we first started cruising but now I try to find cruises with multiple sea days.
Spending the day with no agenda other than relaxing and enjoying great drinks and food is just perfect!
Blue Margarita
The perfect blend of citrus flavors in a gorgeous blue margarita! This Blue Margarita recipe is perfect for pool parties and holiday fun!
Caribbean Breeze
This fruity cocktail tastes amazing! It is a great summer drink or party drink because you can double/triple the recipe in a pitcher.
Caribbean Colada
This blended cocktail is a fun twist on a classic Pina Colada.
Cruiser Cocktail
This fruity cocktail tastes like a vacation! Fruity, easy to make with peach schnapps and looks amazing.
Dirty Banana
Blended, fruity, goodness in a glass! If you like the banana flavor you are going to love his drink
Fun Ship Cocktail
This is one of the drinks you see during embarkation! Perfect for kicking off a cruise or party! So easy to mix in a Cocktail Glass, a bit of orange juice and a few other ingredients!
Kiss on the Lips
The Kiss on the Lips is the perfect blended fruity cocktail! It tastes so good and cools you off in the hot sun. Plus it just looks really cool.
Mango Magic
Mango goodness blended in a glass…yes please!
Miami Vice
If you can’t decide between a strawberry daiquiri or a Pina Colada why not have a mix of both!
Carnival Cruise Martini Recipes

Caribbean Sunset
This delicious martini is a mix of raspberry and coconut flavors with a bit of lime juice that tastes amazing.

Pig and Anchor Cocktails
Guy Fieri’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse/Brewhouse can be found on the Carnival Horizon, Carnival Panorama and soon on the Carnival Mardi Gras. The restaurant/brewery includes a great Flavortown Bar that has its own cocktail and drink menu.
You can enjoy microbrews that are brewed right on board within the brewhouse. If you are on a Carnival Cruise Ship that does not have the brewery on board don’t worry you can now enjoy ParchedPig® West Coast IPA and ParchedPig® Toasted Amber Ale across the Carnival fleet in cans!
