Maybe because it’s the state where I fell in love and was married, but I love all things Mardi Gras! I remember watching the parades all over the state of Louisiana and loving the celebration each year when Mardi Gras rolled around.

Now that we’re living in Arizona we aren’t heading to any Mardi Gras parades this week, but I will be sipping one of these and celebrating in my own way!

  1. What a perfect addition to any Mardi Gras Celebration!! I’ve pinned this to my Mardi Gras Pinterest Board.

    Thanks for joining in the Pin-n-Tell #PinUP Pin Party, we hope to see you again. We have a new theme every Friday :)

  2. Cheers! Happy Mardi Gras! I haven’t been able to find purple sugar – still looking!

    1. What?! I actually think I might have one in my cabinet! What time can you be here tonight? ;)

  3. Sara Pirate (@CleverPirate) says:

    This is so festive, love it!

  4. Has anyone substituted something for the peach schnapps? Peach anything and I do not get along but this drink sounds good. It would also be perfect for a Mardi Gras mixer I’m throwing.
