We aren't all lucky enough to be able to party throughout southern Louisiana during Mardi Gras. But don't worry - these cocktails will have you wanting to parade down the streets wherever you happen to be on February 28, throwing beads at anyone else who couldn't make it to New Orleans.
Enjoy your Fat Tuesday responsibly, and Bon Mardi Gras!
Cheers!
