Make Old Fashioneds parade route ready with our limited edition Mardi Gras Old Fashioned Kit. This is the classic you know, dressed up for Carnival. Rich. Nutty. Deeply Southern. Built for slow sips and long nights.
This version leans into New Orleans flavor at its core. Creole Orgeat brings a smooth, toasted nuttiness made with Louisiana cane sugar and pecans grown around the three counties surrounding my hometown. Chicory Pecan Bitters add depth with roasted coffee notes, warm spice, and just enough bitterness to keep everything balanced. The result is layered, aromatic, and unmistakably festive without being sweet for the sake of it.
Inside the kit you’ll find an 8.5 oz bottle of our Creole Orgeat, a 4 oz bottle of Chicory Pecan Bitters, festive garnishes, and a custom recipe card with easy riffs for full strength, low ABV, and spirit free versions. The balance is dialed so your pour tastes right every time. One kit makes up to 34 cocktails, which is our polite way of saying this one is meant to be shared.
Add your favorite whiskey and stir with ice for a classic Mardi Gras take, or keep it spirit free and let the orgeat and bitters do the heavy lifting. Every ingredient is crafted without artificial flavors or colors and made in New Orleans by a woman owned and led team that believes great drinks belong at great gatherings.
The packaging is plastic free and designed to look right at home on your bar cart or wrapped up as a gift. Because sustainability should be sexy and Mardi Gras deserves a proper Old Fashioned.
This kit is limited edition and once it’s gone, it’s gone. Buy yours before we sell out and let the good drinks roll.

A Quick Note on Sustainability:
Here in New Orleans, we live on the front lines of climate change. We hand-dip each bottle in wax to avoid adding single use plastic seals to landfills. We use glass packaging and print our labels on recycled kraft paper for maximum sustainability. The apothecary look and feel of our packaging is as intentional as it is beautiful. We’re here to make delicious drinks and help keep Louisiana on the map — literally. [Read more about how we keep it clean and green.]
