King Cake season is upon us, and with it, the release of our seasonal 504King Cake rum! Ahead of the release, we spent time behind the bar trying to recreate some of our favorite filled king cake flavors from all the local bakeries in cocktail form. We came up with so many that we've been releasing them one at a time, a new flavor each week! Blueberries & cream was one of the first and most popular of our Mardi Gras experiment, and we hope you enjoy it at home as much as we've enjoyed it in the Tasting Room!

We've never been on a Ski Lift before, but it sounded like a good name for a wintertime cocktail... So we figured we could gather inspiration from our memories of tropical ziplines - that's the same thing basically, right? Ski Lift tastes like riding through the air in a cool breeze - refreshing with just the right amount of bite from the three types of house-made bitters we put in this cocktail. So what if it tastes more like a warm, oceanside breeze than a frigid, mountainside breeze?  THE RECIPE

Like Tim Allen in The Santa Clause, we woke up like this. Sleigh All Day tastes like the magic of the first snow - creamy and sweet with just a note of savory spice and nutty warmth in the praline syrup (we make that in-house! Ask us about it next time you're in the tasting room). At least, that's what we think, we've spent most of our winters in New Orleans and haven't seen snow here in a decade... (Remember the magic of that snowfall in 2011?)  THE RECIPE 2oz 504Gold 1oz Grapefruit juice 1oz 504Syrups Hibiscus 1oz Lime Juice 5 Dashes Paradiso bitters (you can use angostura or cinnamon bitters instead!) Shake with ice & strain! Garnish with grapefruit peel. THE STORY
We love that citrus season always coincides with the holidays. Is there anything better than a satsuma picked fresh off the branch? Citrus flavors pair so well with traditional winter holiday spices - the tart from the citrus balances the warmth of cinnamon, allspice, clove and nutmeg so well. Since we couldn't yet find good satsuma juice, we opted to experiment with grapefruit juice cocktails. All for Yule is one of our favorite seasonal specialties - the spices in the hibiscus syrup, the smokiness of the 504Gold rum, the tart of the grapefruit juice, and the hint of tropical delight in our house-made paradiso bitters all combine to create something truly unique - we'll have another, please!  THE RECIPE
1oz 504Hibiscus 1oz 504Gold 1oz cherry syrup or cherry juice 1oz lemon juice Ginger beer Add rum, syrup and juice to a shaker with ice and shake. Strain over ice. Top with ginger beer to taste. THE STORY We're donner-ing our gay apparel to get blitz-en-ed! This cocktail began as a mis-poured version of one of our speciality cocktails for Harry Potter Trivia night... We loved the new version so much we knew it had to stay on the menu somehow! The warmth of the ginger beer combined with the sweetness of the cherry reminds us of holiday dinners. With its bright red color that illuminates anything around it, it seemed obvious to name it after a bright red Christmastime fable - Rudolph's bright red nose!  THE RECIPE 2oz. 504Hibiscus 1oz. Herbal Simple Syrup 1oz. Pineapple juice 1oz. Mango juice 5 shakes bitters (we recommend tropical paradiso bitters) Add ingredients to a shaker with ice. Shake and strain. THE STORY We are well into spooky season, and we are THRIVING. We've come up with dozens of haunt and horror inspired cocktails this month and we're so excited to share them all with you in our spooktacular Halloween Weekend Festivities! Witch's Brew was among the first Halloween cocktails we previewed this month, and we are obsessed - we like to pretend it's made with vampire fangs, zombie fingers, spiderwebs and werewolf blood... There's apparently a shortage on those ingredients, so we settled for some fruity and botanical flavors reminiscent of the herbs you might find stewing in a witch's cauldron.
