Temptation Caribbean Cruise Review: Why I Loved This Naughty Caribbean Cruise

Sharing is caring!

My partner Leroy and I went on a Temptation Caribbean Cruise in early February of 2020, the very first time Temptation offered one of these exotic trips. It was one of the most fun “naughty” experiences I’ve had, with beautiful ocean-view rooms, great restaurants, and a rollicking, adventurous crowd.

In this Temptation cruise review, I’ll tell you guys all about what I liked and didn’t like on this adults-only cruise. Hopefully, it will help you make a decision on whether this cruise is right for you!

What is the Temptation Caribbean cruise?

If you haven’t heard yet, Temptation is a topless-optional resort located in Cancun, with the We’ve also been to visit this candy-colored resort perched right on the ocean, and enjoyed its topless pool , variety of restaurants, hot tubs and dance nights.

Temptation Cancun Resort organized its first Caribbean cruise in the winter of 2020, and also had a cruise in 2022 and 2023. The next Temptation Caribbean cruise you can book is in 2024.

There’s so much to do on one of these adults-only cruises, from nightly entertainment, to an r-rated red room, to topless pools and hot tubs, to nightly dance parties, to fancy dinners and sexy workshops.

It’s just the ticket to spicing things up in your relationship, whether you want to stay PG or go completely X-rated. For this reason, I think a Temptation Caribbean cruise is great for any type of couple at any stage in their exploration of everything naughty.

The people are super friendly, open-minded and high-energy, and you won’t be pressured into doing anything you don’t want to do.

What Happens on a Temptation Cruise?

So much happens on a Temptation Cruise! I’ll go over a few bullet points here so you know what to expect.

Topless Pools and Hot Tubs

When we went on the Temptation Caribbean cruise in 2020, there were a variety of topless pools and hot tubs to choose from. However, in 2022, 2023 and in 2024, there is a clothing optional area, too, so you can take everything off if you dare.

We noticed the pools and hot tub were all night energy and VERY full, making it hard to relax in the main hot tub at night. These areas had a “spring break” feel, with loud, pumping DJ music and people partying and dancing. We actually didn’t hang out at the sexy pool very much as it was so loud.

There was a quiet pool in the Solarium, though, which was smaller, with a hot tub. We went into those pools when they weren’t too crowded. Now, the quiet pool and jacuzzi are the clothing optional areas, which wasn’t a part of our cruise in 2020.

The R-Rated Red Room

We also went into the R Rated Red Room to see what that was all about. This room was where Temptation held the sexy workshops, with teachers covering a range of topics, from sexual hypnosis, to sexual touch, to how to have anal sex. There were so many interesting forums!

At night, the r rated red room turns the party into a sexy party, with naked couples on beds.

My only complaint about the R Rated Red Room is that the people tending the area (changing sheets, offering towels and condoms, etc) were ALL MEN, and it seemed like they hadn’t seen people having sex before. They were all staring, and it actually made me so uncomfortable that I left and didn’t do much in that room.

However, this was 2020 on Temptation’s very first cruise, and of course, I hope they have fixed this issue by now.

When we talked to other younger couples, we noticed they seemed to just have sexy experiences in bed in each other’s rooms rather than going to the R Rated Red Room.

Keep in mind that the R Rated Red room is COUPLES ONLY, which is really nice!

Spicy Workshops

We absolutely loved the spicy workshops that came with the Temptation Caribbean cruise. We learned all sorts of things, and even watched while a woman demonstrated how to properly “grind’ her husband.

The renowned sexologists who lead these amazing spicy workshops change with every cruise, so be sure to check your itinerary before you go. Temptation will also provide you with a paper itinerary so you won’t miss your favorite sessions.

Theme Nights

The theme nights on a Temptation Caribbean cruise change for every cruise, but you can expect some super fun costume-play onboard one of these adults only cruises. Once Temptation releases the themes of these nights, you can make sure you pack the right party gear! There’s definitely a kick-ass night life scene on these cruises!

What We Loved About the Temptation Caribbean cruise

There’s a lot to love about Temptation cruises. Here are a few main points that detail what we liked the best.

The open-minded, friendly people were my very favorite part of the Temptation Cruise. There are people on various levels of their erotic journey, from most people who are just going topless to full on swingers. When we went on an excursion, here are some phrases I heard from other guests:

“You feel sexy because there are so many body types – it’s so non-judgemental!”

“We love dressing up and being looked at and complimented.”

“It’s nice looking at members of the opposite sex without your partner getting angry.”

“It makes you desire your own partner more.”

“It’s a huge self-esteem boost.”

You seriously hear SO many stories and perspectives on a cruise like this. One night, we dined with people in ther 60s and 70s who live in a swingers resort in Florida, and constantly have “play parties” at each others homes.

We also met a couple who had met at a swingers club when married to other people. They fell in love, divorced their partners and have been together ever since!

The Excursions

Another one of my favorite parts about Temptation Cruises are the amazing excursions you get to go on. Our boat stopped at both Grand Cayman and Cozumel. At Grand Cayman, I swam with huge sing rays. At Cozumel, everyone gathered at this huge beach resort where there was a beach party with food, alcohol and dancing.

Leroy and I decided to take out a Hobie cat and we sailed back and forth out in the warm Caribbean waters.

For me to have fun relaxing on a cruise ship, I need to have access to excursions. Just wandering around a ship all the time without access to the water is a little boring to me.

I also loved that the Royal Caribbean cruise ship had a full-on gym. There were classes offered, but I didn’t attend any of those. I mostly spent time going on the cardio equipment and lifting weights. Both Leroy and I were glad there was a gym onboard!

Temptation uses a different company now for its cruises called the Celebrity Summit, also a gorgeous ship!

The Bars and Lounges

The cruise ship we went on in 2020 was by Royal Caribbean, and had plenty of bars and lounges. There’s a beautiful ship-top sky bar where you can get a view of the entire ship, the sky and horizon. There was also a cool nautical-themed bar we really enjoyed, and a bar in the middle of the cruise ship where you could look up about six stories!

The ship Temptation now uses is the Celebrity Summit, by Celebrity Cruises.

The Accommodations

There are several types of accommodations you can choose from if you attend a Temptation cruise. We had an oceanfront room with a balcony, and I can’t imagine staying anywhere else. There were also cheaper options that didn’t have an ocean view, but I think that would make me claustrophobic.

The Entertainment

We loved the entertainment nights on the cruise ship. From live music, to dancing, to comedy skits, there’s something going on in the concert hall every night for entertainment. We had a great time!

What Does it Cost to Go on a Temptation Caribbean Cruise?

There are a variety of price points for the Temptation cruises depending on what type of room you book and your beverage package. Here are some examples of how much the price can vary:

• Penthouse Suite: $20,341
• Ocean View Stateroom: $2,800
• Interior Stateroom: $2,200

Click here to check out the room options on a Temptation Caribbean cruise.

Your room will come with the Classic Beverage Package, which includes:

• Cocktails, spirits, and liqueurs
• Domestic and international beers
• Wine by the glass
• Bottled still and sparkling water
• Fresh squeezed juices
• Non-alcoholic cocktails
• Fountain sodas / Coca-Cola freestyle beverages
• Premium coffees and teas

Is the Temptation Caribbean cruise for couples only?

No! Anyone can go on the Temptation Caribbean cruise. You just have to be over 21.

Keep in mind that the R-Rated room is couples only, though.

Some of the sexy workshops are also couples only, so just take note to make sure you read through the itinerary before you go.

What is the Average Age for the Temptation Cruise?

When we attended the Temptation Cruise, we boarded the boat in Tampa, Florida. As we waited at the cruise terminal, I was a little bit shocked at how OLD everyone seemed. At first, I thought we were in line for the wrong cruise! However, as soon as we got aboard my fears were assuaged.

Sure, there were plenty of people in their 60s and 70s, but there were also lots of young couples in their 30s-50s. We didn’t see as many younger couples in their 20s.

Throughout our few days jaunting around the Caribbean, we met such a wide variety of people, from super attractive young people to much older full-time swingers that even lived at swingers resorts!

I really enjoyed the diversity in age and types of people on the Temptation Caribbean cruise. What I loved the most was that this is a no holds barred type of crowd. You can ask ANYTHING sexual you want of most couples, and nothing is out of line. I love the openness and honesty of this crowd, even if you don’t want to partake in any of the more naughty behaviors.

All in all, it’s hard to estimate the average age of those onboard a Temptation cruise, but if you are expecting or wanting a crowd full of 20-year-olds, you will be disappointed.

Should You Go on a Temptation Caribbean Cruise?

If you want a really fun time with an open-minded, friendly crowd, I’d highly suggest a Temptation Caribbean cruise ( click here to book your room!). I really can’t imagine being on a “normal” cruise after this – it would seem so boring!

There are a few instances in which this adults-only cruise might not be for you. If you’re an avid nudist, you might be bummed out that there aren’t more clothing-optional areas. We actually prefer clothing optional to topless, as EVERYONE has to be vulnerable not just the women.

If you are REALLY into swinger stuff, this cruise is probably too basic for you. I’d say the majority of people on the Temptation caribbean cruise are not swingers, but there are enough swingers to have fun if you are into that sort of thing.

If you don’t like loud music and partying, this cruise might not be for you. If this is your personality type, I would recommend the Desire Pearl resort, which has a pool and a laid-back, relaxing feel.

However, if you love cruises, the Caribbean, dancing, sexy workshops, entertainment and good food, I would highly suggest trying out one of the Temptation cruises.

We had so much fun, made good friends, and can’t wait to book our next Temptation cruise!

Temptation Caribbean Cruise line has launched an adults-only voyage that’s complete with topless-optional sunbathing, poolside soirees, themed “fantasy parties” and even a “red room.”

Guests can take advantage of Temptation’s “Naughty by Nature Red Room,” which they tout as a “signature playground exclusively for couples” where they offer “stimulating tantric workshops led by top sexologists” by day and an “ultimate fantasy space for couples looking to expand, experiment and enhance their sexual freedom in a surreal atmosphere” by night, according to a press release.

Passengers can also take part in themed parties, similar to those offered at Temptation’s Cancun Resort, such as a 1980s ‘Let’s Glow’ neon event, ‘Onezie Funzie’ adult sleepover party and the ‘Back to School Sexy Nerds & Mean Girls’ party.

Cruisers can also enjoy two pools and three whirlpools — where swimsuit tops are an optional clothing choice — and visit the ship’s several bars, the spa & fitness center or the casino.

“We’re thrilled to bring the Temptation concept to life via this exclusive nautical experience, taking the most exhilarating and fabulous aspects of the brand and adding them into the mix of this overseas adventure,” Rodrigo de la Peña, CEO of Original Group, Temptation’s parent company, said in a statement. “Between the curated events led by our Play Makers and the debut of our new Red Room as the ultimate naughty twist to the cruise itinerary, this will be the most alluring cruise for couples and singles.”

Staterooms for the journey start at $711/per person, based on double occupancy, with a deluxe beverage package included. To book, interested guests can visit temptation-experience.com.

Best of Moscow by high speed train

By shuguley , February 15, 2014 in Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Recommended Posts

Sure would appreciate someone who has taken "Best of Moscow by high speed train" from St. Petersburg could please share their impressions of this shore excursion. From the description this sounds like a very long day.

Wondering how the 4 hour train trip was in terms of accommodations, etc. Also what time did you leave the ship and what time at night did you return? Were both legs of the trip on the high speed rail (I read that slower trains also travel the same tracks)?

My wife and I are considering this excursion. We thought that if we are making all the effort to go to Russia then how could we pass up going to Moscow, walking in Red Square, seeing St. Basil, etc.

Link to comment

Share on other sites.

If you are considering this on the 2015 June Baltic cruise on Voyager; my suggestion is don't. There is so much to do in St. Petersburg and although a train is one of my favorite ways to travel the time would be far better spent in St. P.

Thanks for the advice. Yes, this would be on the Voyager during the 2015 season but not yet sure exactly which cruise.

We did the Moscow excursion "on a different luxury line", but from your brief description it sounds very much like the same trip, so I will operate on that assumption. It is a VERY long day! We left the ship at 5:30 AM and returned at 12:30 AM. The highspeed train trip is comfortable, and while they call it "Business Class" it does not compare well to the equivalent class on say Rail Europe. When we did it in 2011, we did have highspeed both ways, and the trip back seemed much longer as the adrenaline and excitement had worn off!:D

Moscow itself is not that terribly different from any other big city in the world, but this Cold War kid never thought he would ever stand in Red Square, never mind walk the grounds of The Kremlin, or tour The Kremlin Palace, or see (but not visit) Lenin's Tomb, or visit The Armoury. But he did, and he loved every minute of it! Yes, it is a long day, and you barely scratch a scratch on the surface, but it is worth it. There is a tremendous amount to see in St. Petersburg, but every Baltic cruise goes to St. Petersburg, so you can go back if you choose to. Not every cruiseline offers you the chance to see Moscow.

I have not personally done this tour, but our last time in St Petersburg, the private guide that we hired for a day was leading the regent tour to Moscow on the high speed train the next day. He said it was way better than the previous alternative, which was flying to Moscow and back. He said that you actually got to Moscow faster because you didn't have to deal with airline checkin etc. it did seem like a very long day to me, and there is so much to see and do in st. Petersburg that I didn't consider doing it.

We toured to Moscow from St. Petersburg via the hi-speed SAPSAN train last September, from a Baltic cruise on the Oceania Marina. You need to have a two-night, three day port call in St. Petersburg to take this tour because the tour typically leaves the ship around 5:00 - 5:30 AM and doesn't return until after midnight the next day. We didn't take the ship's tour; we made private arrangements with TravelAllRussia for three days of touring, the first and third days in St. Petersburg and the second day the tour to Moscow by train. Our cost for the private tour for three days was about the same as what the ship charged for the excursion to Moscow alone. There are a number of private tour agencies that operate in St. Petersburg and offer the Moscow train tours; we would strongly recommend them over the ship's tours.

All three days had private guides with car and driver. The second day, the driver picked us up at the ship and took us to the train, but we were alone on the train, and met in Moscow by the guide on the station platform. After our tour and dinner, we were brought back to the train and after the return train trip met by the driver and taken back to the ship. Because you are alone on the train you must have your own Russian visas.

If this is your first visit to St. Petersburg, I would agree there is much more to see there. We found Moscow somewhat a disappointment, particularly Red Square. The Kremlin and the cathedral in Red Square were also worth seeing. But the best thing we saw was the Moscow subway! I worked for the Washington Metro system back in the 1980s as it grew from 40 to 80 miles and although I was in the computer area, I learned a lot about the challenges of running a subway system. We used the Moscow system to get across the city from where we had dinner to the train station, and I was amazed at the cleanliness', speed of operation, the short headways maintained, and the courtesy of everyone involved. A very impressive experience!

We had been to St. Petersburg before, and so had the time to take a day and go to Moscow. Also, I really like trains, and the SAPSAN is a German train set running on Russian rails. Seats are like first class domestic air, spacious but not too plush or comfortable, but with enough room. Not too much recline, and almost 8 hours on the train in two shots is a lot for an old man. They come through and sell drinks, candy, etc. but the sellers don't speak English and no one around us helped, so we had just poor coffee once coming, and brought stuff with us for the trip back. Not too much to see from the train either, particularly on the return when it is night the whole way.

If you decide to go, take a private tour and avoid the overly expensive ship's tour. I'm glad we did it, but wouldn't bother to repeat the tour; we've seen Moscow.

Thanks so much to all of you for the thorough and thought insight. Yhe information you have provided is most helpful.

countflorida: Your detailed post is very helpful. We are not quite ready for a Baltic cruise but should do so within a year. Time enough to do our pre travel research, bookings and visa gathering.:) Thank you!

Sure would appreciate someone who has taken "Best of Moscow by high speed train" from St. Petersburg could please share their impressions of this shore excursion. From the description this sounds like a very long day.   Wondering how the 4 hour train trip was in terms of accommodations, etc. Also what time did you leave the ship and what time at night did you return? Were both legs of the trip on the high speed rail (I read that slower trains also travel the same tracks)?   My wife and I are considering this excursion. We thought that if we are making all the effort to go to Russia then how could we pass up going to Moscow, walking in Red Square, seeing St. Basil, etc.

I did this on Seabourn. IMO DONT. Take Aeroflop (er Aeroflot). The train has non folding seats where you are literally knee to knee with your fellow passenger (facing each other). Further they don't believe in air conditioning. It's also the worlds slowed bullet train. I think I would have found more enjoyment wandering around the St. Petersburg and Moscow airports.

Countflorida,

This is a little off topic,, however we had planned a river cruise in Russia but decided we would rather stay on land and have booked about two weeks with Travel-All-Russia using the private guide and driver. I'm curious as to how you found them as a tour company.

The guides they provided were fine. We had a different guide each of the days in St. Petersburg, but both were flexible, pleasant, knowledgeable and spoke English very well, as did the guide in Moscow, incidentally. She was a bit aloof, distant, not too friendly, but otherwise fine. In fact, she was the one who suggested taking the Metro, which unexpectedly became one of the highlights of the Moscow excursion. If I have a complaint with AllTravelRussia, it is with their plan and its execution (more later).

I had requested emphasis on World War II (in Russia, the Great Patriotic War) sites and info. In scheduling us, they weren't careful about dates and a couple of the sites we wanted to see were scheduled on the third day, after we'd been to Moscow. But both sites were closed that day of the week, and that info was readily available, right on web sites describing them. Also, the included meals (lunches in St. Pete, dinner in Moscow) were not what we asked for: light meals with some choices, so we could avoid things we didn't like and choose things we did like. My request was ignored; we were given full Russian meals with a fixed menu, no choice. On the first day, a fish dish was the entre, but I am allergic to fish. Fortunately, I had the e-mail I'd sent with me and showed it to the guide, and she was able to change my entre to chicken, which was very good actually. But we didn't want a 3-4 course lunches or dinner (in Moscow). We had the guide drop the lunch the third day, although we never got any credit or refund. But, particularly in contrast to the ship's tours, the prices were so reasonable we didn't worry too much about it.

The people who were on the ship's tour to Moscow saw us boarding the same train for which they were forced to queue up and wait on the way back, and asked us what we had done. I was candid and open so they were not happy when I explained what we had arranged and particularly what it had cost. Also, when we returned to the ship, we found they had laid on a late supper for those who had gone to Moscow, so up we went and had something. Well, it turns out the late supper was supposed to be just for those on the ship's tour, but we and others on 'independent' tours, there were a dozen or more of us, crashed the party, actually got there first, and they didn't realize it until the larger group arrived and there weren't enough tables/places set. By that time, the 'independents' had all gotten served and were eating; what could they do?

A couple from the larger group sat down with us and asked us about our tour, and they were the ones I told about our arrangement and its cost. They turned to others who’d been with them and announced the details, loudly enough so the whole room heard, which started a lot of bitching and complaining. I gathered they weren't very happy with the ship's tour to begin with, and this was the straw that broke the camel's back. We finished up and beat it out of there, but overheard later that one of the excursion staff came to check on something and ran into a real mess. I caught a cold on the trip, which forced me to bed the second day following in Tallinn, so by the time we reappeared we heard about the contretemps' but apparently no one recalled who started it, thankfully.

Because of what happened to us, I would probably not use AllTravelRussia if I were to go again, or if I did, I would be sure to get confirmation of every detail of the tour. They do have good reviews generally, and we were certainly helped by their visa department and liked the guides and drivers. Their weakness, I say now with full 20:20 hindsight, is that once the sales person who plans the tour, sells it to you and collects your money, he (or she) transfers the plan to their Russia office for implementation; there is no follow-up to make sure it gets done right. And that is where our problems arose; we paid for a custom tour but got a standard package with a few destinations switched, and no one checked them out, even to see when they were open the day we were scheduled to go. If you check every detail that’s important to you, it should be OK, but that’s a hell of a way to have to do business, in my opinion.

Thank you for the 20/20 hindsight observation on your Russian tour operator, and better priced than the ship's excursion cost.

Thanks very much for the feedback.

We had the same experience as you so far as price. We originally booked a Viking Cruise but, hearing some things about the river cruises that made us unhappy, looked into other options. T-A-R cost the same or less than a cruise and had us in hotels for 11 days. We opted for the private tour. They have three tour levels, based on hotels. We originally opted for the four star as it did not cost much more than the three star hotels. Finally we decided to throw it all in and upgraded to five star. In Moscow we will be at the newly opened Kempinsky which is two blocks from Red Square. In St. Petersburg it is the Grand Hotel Europe, one of the most vaunted luxury hotels in Russia. Location is important for us as the tours use up only part of the day so being in the center of everything for our independent touring is important. As with many other cities, the less you pay, the farther out of the center of town you are.

We have been working with our salesman in D.C. and he seems to get back to us with the changes we want. He recently returned from Russia so is up on everything. When I asked they said they paid the full TA commission if I wanted so I got my usual TA on board so he is watching our back and giving us that extra level of comfort. He also set up our air, which I know pays him little or nothing, and got us business class for much less than T-A-R wanted for economy, though it took working for a while with a consolidator. He's happy to get his 10 percent on this trip without having booked it. He also took care of the trip insurance. We've been doing a lot of research on the CC sister site Trip Advisor and will write a report there. We will, I guess, become a source of info for CC members after having spent 5 days in Moscow and 6 in SP.

Moscow Muled

Top 5 caribbean mule recipes.

May 09, 2020

In this post, we reveal the Top 5 Caribbean Mule Recipes anywhere on the internet. Read on to learn how to make this awesome variation on the classic Moscow Mule!

Introduction

At times, one desires something new and exciting that complements the old. So, in comes the Caribbean Mule!

While you are probably familiar with the Moscow Mule, the Caribbean Mule is a variation that might just become your new favorite. The Caribbean Mule is a popular Mule that substitutes vodka for rum. An avid rum-drinker will no doubt love this version of the traditional Moscow Mule. And the best part is that it can easily be made from scratch without leaving your home. 

In this article, we’ll take a look at the easy-to-make, yet absolutely irresistible recipes for the Caribbean Mule. We’ll explore how the cocktails tastes, how it ought to be served, the different ways it can be made, and the different recipes. So, let’s get started!

History of the Caribbean Mule

Although there’s plenty to love about the original Moscow Mule, variety is undeniably the spice of life. Thus, there is good reason to have a collection of recipes for your cocktails. With only a cabinet full of liquor from different parts of the world and a few basic ingredients, exploring with the Mule drink is like going on an adventure from the comfort of your home bar. 

Because the original Mule was named to pay homage to where vodka came from, Russia, its variations have followed the same idea. The Caribbean Mule takes the spirit of the enchanting blue waters of the Caribbean islands, combined with conventional ginger beer. 

With the Caribbean Mule, you can choose to use spiced rum, white rum, pineapple-flavored rum, or even coconut rum. The sweetness of the drink is livened up by the ginger flavors.

Caribbean Mule Ingredients

The ingredients in this variation are:

• Rum – To achieve the best flavor, choose a premium quality rum.
• Lime juice – Fresh lime juice balances out the sweetness and adds a tangy flavor.
• Simple syrup – This can be made at home and is comprised of water, granulated sugar and, if you want to add a greater ginger kick, fresh slices of ginger.
• Ginger beer – Choose a high-quality beer for the best results.
• Ice – Use small crushed ice for heightened sensation and guaranteed chilling while drinking.

Which Rum Should You Use for your Caribbean Mule?

Spiced rum brings a comforting, warm feel that’s perfect during fall. When paired with ginger beer, the result is an extra sweetness and spice perfect for those cozy, cold nights or for entertaining your guests. Even when it comes to mixed drinks, you should always ensure you buy quality spiced rum. Preferably, use one with a medium to heavy texture. The flavors of the rum come out and help even out the ginger beer and simple syrup. 

You can also choose to use Red Leg rum. Red Leg spiced rum comes from the makers of Blavod, a premium vodka. The name is inspired by the red legged hermit crab that is indigenous to the coral reefs found in the Caribbean. The rum is infused with vanilla and ginger  and then rested in oak casks to marry all the spicy flavors. 

The Easy Caribbean Mule Cocktail

Ingredients:

• 4 oz spiced rum
• 2 small pieces of fresh ginger
• 4 oz ginger beer
• ¼ oz homemade ginger simple syrup
• ¼ oz lime juice

Instructions:

• Muddle the fresh ginger.
• In a cocktail mixer, add the simple syrup, spiced rum, and lime juice and shake well.
• Strain, then add ginger beer to create that absolutely delicious spicy cocktail. 

Pirate Inspired Caribbean Mule

This cocktail will transport you to the ocean blue waters of the dreamy Caribbean from wherever you are in the world. 

• ½ oz white rum
• ½ oz gold rum
• 1 oz coconut rum
• Pineapple wedge
• Mix all the rums.
• Add ginger beer, then stir gently.
• Serve in a classic copper mule mug over ice and garnish with the pineapple wedge.

The Kranks’ Caribbean Mule

This easy-to-make Caribbean style cocktail is one tasty treat. It draws its inspiration from a holiday favorite, ‘Christmas with the Kranks.’ In the movie, a couple whose kids are all grown up and have left home go merry-making on a Caribbean holiday cruise. This particular cocktail uses cranberry syrup, which gives the drink a distinctive twist.

• 4 fresh cranberries chopped
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 12 oz ginger beer
• ½ cup white sugar
• ½ cup water
• 1 oz fresh lime juice
• 2 slices lime
• Ice as needed 
• Put the water, sugar, and chopped cranberries in a saucepan and cook over very low heat.
• Stir frequently until the cranberries are completely soft.
• Use a fine-mesh sieve to strain the mixture. Press the pulp gently to extract the liquid.
• Let the syrup cool for about 20 minutes at room temperature. Cover the syrup and put it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before use.
• Pour ½ oz of lime juice and 1 tablespoon of the cooled syrup into two Collins glasses or copper mugs.
• Add ice, then pour rum and ginger beer in equal amounts and stir using a cocktail stirrer.
• Garnish with cranberries, a lime wheel, and rosemary sprig.

Bright Caribbean Cocktail

This low-carb cocktail is bright enough to make you forget a chilly and dull day outside your window. It’s also perfect for weekend entertaining. Besides, you get to enjoy all the goodness of a low-carb  drink which lets you indulge while also helping you in the weight management department!

• 1 1/8-inch slice of fresh ginger
• ¼ teaspoon of pineapple coconut water enhancer
• 4 oz sugar-free ginger beer
• 1 oz pineapple rum
• Frozen cranberries
• 1/2 oz lime juice
• 2 oz club soda
• Muddle the ginger in the bottom of your cocktail mixer.
• Fill with ice.
• Add all the rum, water enhancer, and lime juice. Shake well.
• Put the mixture in a glass and add the club soda and ginger beer
• Garnish using the frozen cranberries and serve immediately.

The result is a sparkly cocktail that is ideal for weekend sipping. If you prefer your drinks a little sweeter and a bit heavier, then add more ginger beer.

Ginger Peach Fizz

The dark rum used has a flavor that perfectly complements the peaches  in this utterly amazing cocktail.

• 1 ½ oz dark rum
• ¾ oz simple syrup
• ¾ oz lime juice
• 2 slices of peach
• Muddle peach slices in a cocktail shaker.
• Add ice, lime juice, rum, and simple syrup, then shake.
• Strain mixture in a highball glass and top with ice.
• Fill the glass with ginger beer and stir.
• Use the mint sprig to garnish.

Which One Should You Use: Ginger Beer or Ginger Ale?

Although it’s possible to use ginger ale instead of ginger beer in your Caribbean Mule cocktails, you won’t achieve the depth of ginger flavor, which is what makes ginger beer such a great mixer. Ginger beer is actually fermented and has a sharper, more pronounced ginger flavor and almost .05 percent alcohol. Besides, it’s less carbonated compared to ginger ale .

Making Homemade Simple Syrup

Simple syrup is a mixture of sugar and water that’s dissolved and then cooled. The ideal ratio should be 1:1.

To make a ginger simple syrup, you should mix a few fresh slices of ginger with water and sugar and put it in a small saucepan. Then, place it over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove from the heat and allow to cool.

Should You Make Your Own Simple Syrup or Use A Store-Bought One?

Even if you're a novice, making your own homemade spiced Caribbean Mule with your own simple syrup is very easy. The advantage of making your own is you can control the sweetness and flavor when cooking. For instance, adding extra ginger will give your drink more punch. On the other hand, if you need a faster drink, then store-bought simple syrup is your best bet. However, it will not have as much ginger flavor. 

Get Creative

Does the idea of rum and ginger beer sound fascinating? Rather than just following a specific recipe, take a tall glass and fill it with ice to the brim. Next, pour a shot of rum or two. Add ginger beer to the ice and rum until you find the balance that perfectly suits your palate.

It’s Always a Good Time

With these delicious and refreshing recipes, you can rest assured that these cocktails will excite any palate. The drinks are meant to be sweet but not overly sweet, and the alcohol contents, although generously poured, can still be subtle depending on what you like.

Cocktails are more than simply drinks. They make friends out of strangers and bring people together. So, sit back, relax, and have a good time with any of these amazing recipes.
