Special Drinks to order while on vacation

Aside from the standard Pina Colada and Mud Slide, can I get a list of great/specialty drinks to order while at Aventura Spa - and basic flavor? (i.e. banana, lemon etc) Also what is in a Miami Vice?

A Miami Vice is half pina colada, half strawberry Daquri...very good! Had them at Secrets Capri and will have more in just 5 days at Gran Porto real

Mojitos and/or Caipirinhas are our favorites when we are in PDC.

Along with any Mexican beer (XX, Corona, Sol...), margaritas, or tequila.

Agreed. I am leaving in 16 days and will load up on those awesome Miami Vices. Coco Loco and Blue Hawaii's are also great at the Iberostar resorts.

Caipirinhas - excellent choice. There are a couple of bartenders who knew how tio make these. Diego was one of them. Say hello to him if you happen to see him.

I've never tried it, but I have seen bunches of native vacationers put worchestershire and I think tabasco in their beers. Might have to give that a whirl next month.

Mojitos made correctly are outrageously potent and tasty.

Still, though, with all the choices, just give me a cervesa and limon and I'm cool.

It's a brazilian drink made with lime, sugar, and a brazilian Liquor called Cachaca (similar to rum, but different).

Tasty!
