Mardi Gras Cocktail Recipe

Looking for something new and delicious for your Mardi Gras party this year? I have a few ideas and recipes coming up here at She Knows Parties, but I thought I’d start things off with a yummy cocktail courtesy of Don Julio.

Try an upscale version of a piña colada for your Mardi Gras celebrations- the Don Julio Colada. This unique twist on the standard frozen drink, made with ultra-premium Tequila Don Julio, is sure to be a crowd-pleaser this Fat Tuesday.

I love the coconut shell glass. I wonder if anyone actually sells those.

The drink sounds yummy too!
