Absolute at CN?

**packerfan62** · January 6th, 2010, 08:10 PM

Hello,
We will be going to CN in a few weeks. This is our first time at a Couples resort, and we are really looking forward to it. I have been getting a lot of good information from this message board. Thanks.
I would like to know if they serve Absolute Mandarin Vodka at CN? If not, what kind of vodka do they have? What about gin?

**jamacain_me_crazy** · January 7th, 2010, 11:44 AM

Not sure about Absolute Mandarin Vodka, but in the piano bar they have Grey Goose, all other bars they have smirnoff and stoli's if I remember correctly.( I also believe they had an assortment of flavored vodkas)

For Gin.. I saw Beefeater, Bombay Saphire and I think I saw Tanqueray.(I drink Bombay or Beefeater so not %100 sure about the Tanqueray)

As I love a good "dirty Martini" I am very happy to find out they have good gin. As for Vodka my girlfriend will have to keep her fingers crossed and hope for Absolute or Absolute Mandarin.. but, that being said I am sure she would be quite content with Grey Goose!!! LOL!! Thanks for the info!!!

We had Absolut in the mini bar in our room

It is great with Ting!!!

**Coloradojuli** · January 7th, 2010, 04:59 PM

Rudi ~ I'm impressed!

**Bobby and Lisa** · January 7th, 2010, 05:41 PM

We had a hard time finding Absolut or same quality vodka while there in 2008. There definitely was Grey Goose in the piano bar, but it was very low stock, and was gone very quickly. As a result, we were forced to drink Jamaican rum, and thank God for that!!! I used to be a vodka-only drinker until Jamaica. Hey, when in Rome, right?? TRY THE RUM!!!! It's yummy!!!

**Tom-n-Lori** · January 7th, 2010, 06:46 PM

MMMM...Absolut & Ting. Nothing finer on the beach!

**toesinsand_ruminhand** · January 7th, 2010, 07:29 PM

there was Absolut and Absolut Citron. There may be another flavored vodka though

**kycrazies** · January 8th, 2010, 07:33 AM

Wow Rudi...and I thought I spent a lot of time sitting at the bar....

While I may or may not spend a lot of time a the bar,

I didn't write that down; the above was from a printed list I obtained. That's what I meant about "possible misspellings". There have always been frequent questions regarding the bar stock and I thought the list may help answer inquiries.
Now, back to the bar .......

**starfish2** · January 8th, 2010, 12:49 PM

CSA has Absolut Mandarin in several bars. A new discovery was Absolut Raspberry in the Martini bar. Requested an Absolut Raspberry martini and it was "Absolut...ly" delightful. I made a few converts after they tried it.

**packerfan62** · January 8th, 2010, 02:56 PM

Rudi,
THANK YOU for the great list of all they have to offer. We will be there in 2 weeks. I can't wait!!! Is champagne available? What is your favorite "boat drink"? Thanks again!!!

**dandpdub** · January 8th, 2010, 04:38 PM

We were on our honeymoon and got champagne in our mini bar EVERYDAY!!!!

**packerfan62** · January 11th, 2010, 07:51 AM

Can you ask for champagne in your mini bar? What is the procedure for requesting mini bar items?

**jamacain_me_crazy** · January 11th, 2010, 11:31 AM

We asked for champagne for our mini bar and it was delivered... couples rocks! Sorry packerfan about your loss... go Vikes!

**Redsoxnation** · January 11th, 2010, 02:02 PM

You fill out a slip of paper daily and list the items you want. The fantastic beverage manager Konrad is right on top of getting items that you may need.He says just ask for something and he will do his best to get it.

**Jimnmariann** · January 11th, 2010, 06:56 PM

There is a request sheet in your room where you can write down what you would like each day. You can also get champagne everywhere you go. No problem mon.

Thank you for the nice words concerning the Packers loss. I am still in shock. That being said, I still wish Brett and the Vikings the best of luck!! Thanks to everyone for the great Couples advice.
