There are several amazing drinks to choose from. There is a bar on Carnival Glory called the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/onboard\/alchemy-bar?cid=icp_dcs_awg_SplendidRags\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alchemy Bar<\/a>. It has a really cool atmosphere &#8211; old school vintage pharmacy turned into craft cocktail bar. I found myself here a lot, the bartender&#8217;s are incredible mixologists. If you wanted to venture something off the menu they can whip up something tasty for you, no problem!\u00a0By the end of my trip I finally decided which Carnival cocktail was my favorite, the Caribbean Manhattan! Want to try it? You can make it yourself!
