The buzz this Mardi Gras season: the launch of King Cake Vodka. But aside from shooters and jello shots, what to do with this dessert flavored liqueur? We found a recipe that should put a little pep in your parade step…
LAISSEZ LES BON TEMPS ROULER
1.5 oz Lucky Player King Cake Vodka
12 crushed coffee beans
0.5 oz fresh lime juice
1.5 -2 oz pineapple juice
Crush but don´t pulverize the coffee beans in a shaker. Add the lime juice and muddle a bit, then add the rest of ingredients and shake hard with ice. Double strain into a tall cup filled with crushed ice. For added flair, rim it with green King Cake sugar before you pour. Enjoy!

Famed local libation expert, Travis Sanders at the Hotel Monteleone, is also serving up many of these King Cake Vodka laced specialty drinks, so hit the Carousel Bar to sip and spin in between parties.
