Princess Cruises has crowned the 24k Gold, a citrus-based margarita, as king of its cocktails in 2017, topping a list of the 12 best-selling cocktails across its fleet of 17 ships.
Favourites including the Cosmopolitan, Long Island Iced Tea, Mojito, Pina Colada and Strawberry Daiquiri all make the list. But it’s the ‘24k Rita’, a Princess Cruises speciality containing Cointreau, Grand Marnier, tequila and citrus, that comes out on top.

Tony Roberts, vice president Princess Cruises UK and Europe, said: “For many of us, the idea of sipping a cocktail onboard a cruise ship while the world drifts by is the perfect holiday escape.
“Seeing a broad range of cocktails make the list is no surprise – our ships travel across the globe so while for many a Pina Colada is the perfect accompaniment to a Mediterranean sailing, a warming Grey Goose Martini is best served on a crisp day in Alaska.”
