Every stay at Rosen Shingle Creek should include lounging by one of our four sparkling pools with a refreshing drink in hand.
You can tell a lot about a person by the drink they’re sipping poolside on a beautiful Orlando day.
Regardless of what you’re drinking, we’re happy you’re choosing to spend your stay with us at Rosen Shingle Creek.
In case you were wondering, here’s what your cocktail order from Cat-Tails Pool Bar & Grille says about you.
The Poolside Margarita
Casamigos Blanco Tequila, Blue Lagoon Orange Liqueur, Tres Agave organic agave nectar, lime juice, orange juice
If you’re sipping this blue beauty poolside, you probably enjoy turning a few heads from guests strolling past.
Everyone seems to be lowering their sunglasses and wondering what mystery drink you’re sipping.
They’re also probably a little jealous of your prime lounge chair location – and that’s the way you like it.
You’re not one of those pool-goers that doesn’t dare get your bathing suit wet.
Instead, you’re in the water, leaning on the pool deck with your drink in your hand, your face shadowed by the brim of a large straw hat.
You’re on vacation and you want a drink that visually reminds you of your leisurely freedom. Enjoy every moment.
Mango Melon Margarita
Patron Silver Tequila, Mango Purée, Watermelon Purée
If you’re drinking this frozen fruity favorite, you’re a fan of a playful twist on a classic Mexican cocktail.
In fact, you probably have dinner reservations at Mi Casa later.
You like your margs icy and smooth with the perfect balance of tequila, but vacation calls for a tropical take on your usual go-to.
So, you’ve decided to wholeheartedly embrace summer vibes with the addition of two delicious and summery fruits: watermelon and mango.
You can be found with your feet up under an umbrella, maybe flipping through the pages of the summer’s hottest beach read.
Or, if you’re feeling social, perhaps you’ve found a seat at the bar and are making small talk with the friendly bartenders and other resort guests enjoying their time by the pool.
Be sure to save room for another round of hand-crafted margaritas with your Mi Casa dinner reservation!
Aperol Spritz
Prosecco, Aperol, club soda
This sleek and trendy drink is as classy and classic as your sense of style.
If you’re drinking an Aperol Spritz poolside, you’re leaning into the Mediterranean vibes exuding from the architectural influence around you at Rosen Shingle Creek.
This slow sipper is smooth and laid back, just like the person drinking it. Nothing is going to stop you from savoring this citrusy, bittersweet beverage.
You’re probably sporting Italian designer sunglasses and something with bold stripes; a bathing suit maybe, or a tote bag carrying your towel and sunscreen.
Maybe you take a break from lounging poolside and wander to Emma’s Creekside Farm, our onsite garden growing a variety of produce and Italian herbs.
Aperol Spritz fans also appreciate the art of aperitivo and can be found snacking on something delicious from the Cat-Tails food menu.
Lava Flow
Bacardi Superior Rum, Pina Colada, Strawberry Purée, Rum Floater
If you’re laid out poolside with a Lava Flow in hand, you’re on vacation and you don’t care who knows it.
In fact, your vacay started the second the sparkling blue pool was in sight.
You’re the life of the party at the pool, the kind of person who brings your own beach ball and makes new friends inviting other people to join a game.
You like your drinks sweet and strong, just how you like your Southern hospitality.
The perfect blend of tart fruit and sweet coconut, this frozen cocktail is the go-to drink for playing by the pool and soaking up the Orlando sun (with your sunscreen, of course).
Blood Orange Mule
Grey Goose vodka, blood orange ginger beer
If you’re sipping a mule by the pool, you’re the kind of person who likes things spicy.
This no-frills drink is simple and straightforward with a signature gingery bite and a Floridian citrus twist.
You also like your vodka how you like your resort stay: high end.
This isn’t your first vacation, or at least not your first day at the resort.
Maybe you’re in town for a conference, or you’re unwinding after a long day on the golf course.
A Blood Orange Mule is the perfect drink to have in hand as you network and socialize — or find a secluded spot where you can enjoy your cocktail in peace and quiet.
Cabana Punch
Grey Goose Le Citron Vodka, Bacardi Pineapple Rum, pineapple juice, cranberry juice
If you’re enjoying a refreshing Cabana Punch, you’re someone who enjoys the finer things in life.
In fact, lounging poolside just isn’t enough for you. You need to reserve a private cabana.
That’s why you’ll be enjoying your drink in one of Rosen Shingle Creek’s private cabanas, complete with a comfortable couch, TV, outlets, and privacy curtains.
Instead of tiring your wrist fanning yourself, you’ve chosen to lie beneath a ceiling fan for a cool breeze.
Your cabana lifestyle is as close to the beach as you can get while lounging by a pool.
When it comes to vacation, you take a truly tropical approach to your getaway.
And, with antioxidant-rich mixers like pineapple and cranberry juice, you’re still mindful of taking a health-conscious approach to your indulgences.
