Mardi Gras is celebrated this year on Tuesday February 9th (Fat Tuesday) and is basically one big party celebration before the 40-day abstinence of Lent. Here in the U.S.A. Mardi Gras is typically celebrated in New Orleans but you can find big Mardi Gras celebrations in other countries all around the world.
In honor of Mardi Gras, our friends over at Sparkling ICE sent over some Mardi Gras – Inspired Cocktail Recipes for all of us to enjoy. Just remember, you have to be 21 years or older to consume alcohol. Please drink and celebrate responsibly!
You can find additional easy-to-prepare cocktail recipes right here on the TwoClassyChics blog.

Now that I shared two delicious cocktail recipes with all of you in honor of Mardi Gras, I would like to know if you celebrate it and if so, how? Have you ever attended the Mardi Gras celebration down in New Orleans before?

I like the sparkling ice beverages but never thought of using them in a cocktail. The Black Raspberry Brut cocktail looks especially good. I did not celebrate Mardi Gras and have never been to New Orleans but looks like quite the party.
The Lemonade Hurricane would be a nice one for parties. I’d like to try the raspberry one, but I developed an allergy to them a few years ago.)
Sparkling Ice’s Black Raspberry is one of my favorite flavors. I always enjoy reading the recipes and I would love to try the one involving champagne.

I’m not sure which one of these cocktails sounds the best! The both sound delicious!! I think I’ll add them to my girls night menu!
Drat. Missed Mardi Gras. I’ll make the Lemonade Hurricane Cocktail Recipe even though I missed it.
