PURPLE, GREEN AND GOLD

  • 2 oz Lucky Player King Cake Vodka
  • 0.5 oz fresh lime
  • 0.25 oz sugarcane syrup
  • 1 oz grapefruit juice (yellow)
  • 1 oz pineapple juice
  • a handful fresh mint leaves, teared

Add to shaker and shake hard with ice, double strain into a purple sugar rimmed cocktail glass and garnish with a mint crown.

This drink is the nicest of the drinks i think, not too sweet and it`s fresh without being overpowered by the amaretto flavor.


KING ZULU

  • 2 oz Lucky Player King Cake Vodka
  • 2 oz pineapple juice
  • 0.5 oz coconut syrup
  • 0.5 fresh lime juice
  • Some soda or sparkling wine to top

Glass rimmed with gold colored sugar

Shake it all with ice and strain into a big glass with ice chunks and rimmed with gold sugar. Top with soda or sparkling wine.


MARDI GRAS FIZZ

  • 2 oz Lucky Player King Cake Vodka
  • 1 oz heavy cream
  • 1 egg white
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1 small tsp sugarcane syrup
  • Soda to top

Garnish with a King Cake green sugared rim and a lemon twist.

Shake for a good minute with cracked ice to incorporate the egg white or use a hand mixer, strain into a chilled green-sugar rimmed chimney glass and garnish with the lemon twist.

A simple twist of the famous Ramos Gin Fizz replacing gin with the King Cake vodka and omitting the orange flower water which isn’t needed here.

This drink tastes like a fizzy amaretto and lemony drink, quite light and bright and quite heavy on the King Cake vodka flavor, the subtlety of the original Gin fizz is transformed to an amaretto fizz.

MARDI GRAS MORNING

  • 1 oz Lucky Player King Cake vodka

Shake it up and donate to a rocks glass with ice cubes, garnish with purple king cake sugar on the rim of the glass. Could be a good carnival day breakfast drink maybe?

LAISSEZ LES BON TEMPS ROULER!

  • 1.5 oz Lucky Player King Cake Vodka
  • 12 crushed coffee beans…12th night you know…:-)
  • 0.5 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1.5 -2 oz pineapple juice

Crush but don´t pulverize the coffee beans in a shaker, then add the lime juice and muddle a little bit, then add the rest of ingredients and shake hard with ice, then double strain (strain into a fine mesh tea strainer) into a zombie (or other tall) glass filled with crushed ice. Have the glass rimmed with green king cake sugar before you pour.

If you want to you can use a good quality coffee liqueur instead of beans, you´ll get a more pronounced coffee flavor and a sweeter drink.
