Sweet and Bubbly Carnival Queen Mardi Gras Cocktail

One of the biggest parties of the year is Mardi Gras. It’s sort of the last hurrah before we go into Lent and the Easter season. We all know Mardi Gras goes on and on, but there’s one major weekend that leads into Fat Tuesday. THIS is the main time to indulge and imbibe. The Carnival Queen is the perfect Mardi Gras cocktail.

Carnival Queen is sweet and feminine, with a bit of a punch, thanks to the Crown Royal Regal Apple. While it’s an amazing Mardi Gras cocktail, it’s great for all times of the year, too.

See how easy it is to make a really great cocktail? While this was created for Mardi Gras, I think it would be amazing for a bridal shower or even a wedding. It’s easy to make, and oh so showy with the champagne.
