It’s Mardi Gras time! And there’s no better way to start off the debaucherous, pre-Lenten festival than with a traditional Fat Tuesday cocktail. To celebrate like a true New Orleanian, check out this clip of one of the Big Easy’s best drink slingers showing me how to mix things up N’awlins-style.

 
Shake up your Mardi Gras celebration with these classic libations from the world-famous Sazerac Bar and let the good times roll. Or, as they say in New Orleans — laissez les bons temps rouler! 
 
Sazerac Cocktail

 
Combine first three ingredients in a tumbler while chilling a second tumbler. Remove ice from the second tumbler and coat glass with Herbsaint. Stir first three ingredients with ice and strain into Herbsaint-coated glass. Garnish with lemon twist.
 
Ramos Gin Fizz

 
Combine all ingredients, except club soda, in a Boston shaker. Shake vigorously with ice until egg is completely emulsified. Strain into a highball glass and top with splash of club soda.

Cheers!
