Boat drinks

Looking for a simple tropical drink recipes that I can have pre-made and just add the rum/alcohol before serving... Going on a 4-5 day cruise without the kids and we're staying on the hook. No generator so that means no blender. Need to mix something up at home and keep it in a thermos/cooler that the admiral will enjoy.

If you have a good cooler my wife mixes these drinks and pours then into sandwich bags, Ziploc type,and freezes them. when they turned to slush you could just stick a straw in the bag,we do this for concerts.
Cucumber Martini
1 shot vodka
1 shot fine-shredded cucumber
1/2 to 1 shot of simple syrup (depending on how sweet you want it)
3 shots water
Shake and pour in a tall glass with lots of ice
I always pre-mix in quantity and store cold. To make the simple syrup, put water in a pan and add lots of sugar - heat (do not boil) and stir until all of the sugar dissolves.
@raybo, come on, out with the watermelon mai tai recipe! If you do, maybe I'll tell my mai tai recipe. But here is one I make for the admiral that isn't too strong, but tasty:
1 part coconut rum (I usually add a bit more)
1 part sweet & sour mix
1 part pineapple juice
1 part orange juice (we use peach mango V8 fusion light instead of pineapple and orange juice - get your veggies at the same time! LOL!)
splash of grenadine
splash of sprite

Sure does come up often, but always a new one worth trying!
Can't say I've ever heard of 3-olive watermelon vodka, but I do have a place that I'm sure has it. Mai Tai mix though, come on, isn't that cheating. Gotta make it all from scratch.
Dare I give up my recipe here...This one took lots of time and effort by me and my brother-in-law. Completely came up with it after a full weekend of trying different things. It is award-winning (yes, I've won contests with it)...
(Remember where you got this one from!!
)
2 parts rum (use your favorite or mix light/dark - I usually use a light rum or coconut)
1/2 part amaretto
1/2 part triple sec
1.5 part lime juice
1 part grenadine
1/2 part water
I premix it into a gallon jug & I'll water it down more on hot days so I get my intake of water and not be too loaded too quickly! LOL!

Go Steelers!!!
@raybo3, I'm gonna listen to you and buy some of that funky vodka. You'd better be right!
But seriously, what is Mai Tai mix? Is it just one of those that you'd find next to the sweet & sour mix? or do you use a particular one?
Handy, we are really glad you don't drink hard liquor either!

Diggin, Those things are a hit with the ladies, I've learned. They are quite a novelty and they disappear quick! ...depending on the admiral, can be a good or bad thing, lol.
Here's me and the admiral making ziplock drinks disappear.
