What do you like to drink? Is it different in Aruba than at home?

I was looking in our liquor cabinet at home and it prompted this question.

we drink a couple of alcoholic beverages a day while in Aruba or cruise.
mostly at happy hour or before dinner.
usually frozen sweet drinks (Miami vice)
at the casinos, I may sip a vodka on rocks, but rarely finish it.

at home.......once in a while.
our neighbor made limoncello and orangecello and we have it in our freezer.
we have a sip now and again.
we do love to have Baileys in coffee once in a while.

the scotch, vodka and Canadian club in our liquor cabinet ...bottles are dusty.

we have enough wine to last a lifetime.

I’m more of a wine drinker than anything else. However, in Aruba, I tend to mix it up. That’s because I’ve been in a few restaurants where I ordered a red wine and it was served cold with ice. From my way of thinking, that’s just wrong.

If we’re at Bavaria I’ll order a dark beer; Pega Pega I order a rum punch and at the Ritz casino it’s an espresso martini. I still order wine when out to dinner, but it’s usually a white wine like Sauvignon blanc, because I do like that cold.

Definitely agree on the red wine - no ice - definitely wrong. Lol.

I tend to shy away from overly sweet drinks. At home I tend to drink vodka/seltzer/splash of pineapple or Hard Seltzer. On vacation I drink some kind of vodka concoction, and of course in Aruba I drink Aruba Aribas. I also like rum, but can't do rum and soda, so usually a light rum with pineapple juice.

Bacardi, bacardi and more bacardi, lol. Same as home just much more in Aruba, lol.

Amstel Bright at lunch.... vodka sour or gimlet before dinner and then cranberry and vodka at the casino. At home a few Corona Lights during the week!

For me a little different in Aruba than home. At home I usually drink wine, sometimes vodka. But in Aruba if I want to splurge on calories I love a pina colada or another tropical drink at lunch/happy hour. We used to order a bottle of wine with dinner in Aruba but we’ve changed some nights to have a tropical cocktail and Larry will have a vodka martini.

What’s in an Aruba Ariba again? I think I like them. Lol.
