New Orleans, LA (Jan. 21, 2026) — For those celebrating Mardi Gras far from the French Quarter, Big Easy Whiskey is once again delivering the flavor of New Orleans straight to front doors nationwide.
For the second year in a row, Big Easy Whiskey has partnered with local favorite Pigéon Catering to bring back its wildly popular Big Easy Whiskey-flavored King Cakes — an innovative and delicious way for fans across the country to enjoy the spirit, flavor, and tradition of Carnival season without necessitating a trip to New Orleans. And, honoring New Orleans' rich cocktail history, Big Easy Whiskey offers you a lagniappe of easy-to-make cocktail recipes like Easy Over Ice or its King Cake, Baby cocktail.
Whether you're missing parades on St. Charles Avenue or cocktails in the Bywater, Big Easy Whiskey makes it easy to celebrate Carnival from anywhere with its signature 5-year Whiskey made from Bourbon mash and infused with a proprietary blend of botanicals, spices, and fruit that enhance rather than mask the whiskey's smooth, rich flavor.

Even if you're nowhere near New Orleans, have your own Mardi Gras Party with these Big Easy Whiskey party-ready cocktails, including the aforementioned King Cake, Baby, or the Easy Breeze.
You can also enjoy the flavor of New Orleans delivered to your door with a Big Easy Whiskey Flavored King Cake – $76 (includes shipping). A brioche-style cake filled with a cinnamon brown sugar swirl, glazed with Big Easy Whiskey syrup, and finished with rich Big Easy Whiskey caramel icing.
