Be aware that bartenders often change up a recipe based on what they have available, and not all drinks are made the same way, so you might get something slightly different. A beach drink with vodka might also be made with rum, for instance. Let us know if this all-inclusive drink guide helps you mix things up on your next trip! Check out our TikTok for some more fun drink inspiration. Bartenders are some of the best friends you can make at your resort.
