Most Popular Drinks at Live Casinos

Even with online and mobile casinos becoming so prevalent in today’s gambling society, there’s something to be said for the live casinos experience. Sure, there’s live dealer casino software to make the online games more realistic, but you can’t order a drink from a live dealer on the internet. You can, however, bring the live experience home by serving the most popular drinks ordered at live casinos.

Before I go any further, let me say this. I would never condone gambling while intoxicated. I do, however, enjoy a frothy beverage or perfectly mixed cocktail now and again while playing blackjack at home. One or two drinks, that’s my limit.

With that said (and restraint strongly advised), let’s take a look at the most popular drinks served at live casinos.

1. Beer, Please!

Not surprisingly, beer is the number one beverage ordered by live casino goers. Beer is a special drink, as it doesn’t really require any special occasion. The majority of land-based casinos – especially the larger ones – keep a vast selection of beers on tap to accommodate a wide range of clientele. Whether its domestic, imported, light, amber, lager or seasonal specialties, you should have no trouble finding your favorite beer at live casinos.

And if it’s your favorite, chances are you know exactly what store to buy it from, so you can enjoy it while playing online or mobile casino games at home.

As an added bonus, beer actually has some great health benefits, though few of us bear that in mind when consuming it. In moderation, beer can help minimize the risk of things like Alzheimer, cancer and kidney stones. It also increases good cholesterol and can even reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

2. Whiskey (for the Guys)

Aside from beer, Whiskey is the most popular drink ordered at live casinos, especially by male gamblers. It’s a versatile beverage, available in a multitude of unique flavours, and mixtures. Whiskey straight, on the rocks, or mixed, is a great addition to any online or live dealer casino experience.

All you need is a bottle of your favorite whiskey and whatever you care to mix it with. Due to its high volume of alcohol content, I don’t recommend drinking it straight while gambling, unless you can maintain a slow sip.

3. Margarita (for the Ladies)

On the ladies side, Margarita cocktails tend to be extremely popular drinks. They’re fruity, sweet, and are often served with just a dash of tequila (live casinos have to save money somewhere, right?). That’s actually a good thing, as it won’t have you stumbling about after a single drink or two.

Grab a bottle of your favorite tequila, margarita mix and salt (to line the edges of the glass), and maybe a fresh lime or lemon for garnish, and you’re good to go.

4. Mojito

In recent years, the Mojito has become one of the most beloved cocktails around the world, especially in Melbourne. The concoction, involving white rum over ice with sugar, mint leaves and fresh squeezed lemon, is incredibly refreshing. However, it can be a bit on the heavy side in terms of inebriation, so pace yourself.

5. Long Island Iced Tea

It may look like tea, but the Long Island version is anything but. This drink takes equal parts of gin, rum, triple sec, tequila and vodka, with 1 ½ parts sour mix and a splash of cola. That could be an expensive menu if you’re bring it home to play at online or mobile casinos, but it sure is a popular drink at the live variety. It’s also so tasty that it’s hard to sip – be careful!
