Happy Mardi Gras, ya’ll! Tomorrow is Fat Tuesday and it’s something we love to celebrate in our family.
Every year, my parents send us a King Cake from a local bakery near their home in Louisiana and it’s always a highlight of our dreary winter. I’m always looking for ways to keep the spirit of Mardi Gras alive year-round. So when I learned that Pinnacle Vodka makes a seasonal King Cake flavor of their premium spirit, you better believe I put on my mixology hat and started mixing up cocktails.
This one is a personal favorite. It tastes like sweet honey-glazed cinnamon King Cake that’s stuffed with a lemon glaze. It’s sure to be a hit at your Mardi Gras festivities tomorrow!
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 oz Pinnacle King Cake Vodka (You can substitute for Pinnacle Cinnabun Vodka)
- 1 oz Jim Bean Honey Bourbon Whiskey
- 2 oz Lemon Sweet & Sour
Combine in a shaker and shake to mix. Strain over ice. Garnish rim with cinnamon sugar if desired or an old-fashioned lime wedge.
Laissez les bons temps Rouler!
