Celebrate Mardi Gras 2026 anywhere with whiskey delivery from Big Easy Whiskey, plus king cakes, easy cocktails, and New Orleans flavor shipped nationwide.
Mardi Gras has a way of making distance feel personal. If you are not in New Orleans, you feel it. The brass bands you cannot hear. The parades you scroll past. Big Easy Whiskey understands that longing and is doing something about it. With nationwide shipping, whiskey-forward cocktails, and a limited-run Big Easy Whiskey King Cake, the brand is making it possible to celebrate Mardi Gras wherever you are.
It is a flavor-first approach rooted in New Orleans tradition, built for people who care what is actually in their glass and on their table. If your idea of celebration involves real taste, a little indulgence, and zero compromise, Big Easy Whiskey just made Mardi Gras travel.
Bringing New Orleans Flavor Beyond the French Quarter
The heart of Mardi Gras has always been hospitality. You feed people. You pour for them. You make sure nobody leaves empty-handed. Big Easy Whiskey extends that spirit beyond Louisiana by shipping to 46 states through its direct-to-consumer shop.
The whiskey itself is designed to taste like New Orleans feels.
Warm spice.
Subtle sweetness.
A richness that plays well neat, over ice, or in cocktails that do not need overthinking. This matters for anyone hosting a Mardi Gras gathering outside the Gulf South. You want something festive, but also credible. Something fun-loving, but not novelty.
For drinkers who care about where spirits come from and how they are made, Big Easy Whiskey fits neatly into the growing appreciation for regional American spirits with a clear sense of place.
The Return of the Big Easy Whiskey King Cake
For the second year in a row, Big Easy Whiskey partnered with Pigéon Catering to bring back its whiskey-flavored King Cakes with nationwide delivery. These sold fast last year for a reason.
The cake itself is brioche-style, filled with cinnamon brown sugar, glazed with Big Easy Whiskey syrup, and finished with a caramel icing infused with the brand’s signature flavor. It is indulgent without being cloying. Sweet, but grounded. A dessert that knows when to stop.
Here is the smart part. The cake is completely alcohol-free. That makes it unexpectedly relatable. You can serve it to kids, Dry January participants, or guests who just want dessert without a pour. Everyone still gets the flavor. Nobody feels left out. That is very New Orleans.
Cocktails That Do Not Get in the Way
Big Easy Whiskey leans into simplicity with Mardi Gras–ready cocktails designed for hosts who would rather enjoy their party than bartend all night.
Easy Over Ice is exactly what it sounds like. Pour. Ice. Done. The King Cake Baby cocktail layers familiar baking spice notes without turning the drink into liquid dessert. These recipes are built to be forgiving, fun-loving, and scalable for groups.
In cities like Chicago, New York, and San Francisco, where home entertaining often leans a little too serious, this approach feels refreshing. Not everything needs a tincture. Flavor should still feel playful.
Mardi Gras Merch With a Sense of Humor
Big Easy Whiskey is also debuting Krewe-inspired merchandise, including tees, hats, and canvas totes, timed for Mardi Gras. The designs skew celebratory rather than costume-y, which makes them wearable beyond one night.
Order by February 6 to ensure delivery by Mardi Gras. Hosting tip. A tote filled with beads, napkins, and a bottle of whiskey is a better party favor than plastic masks destined for a drawer.
A Brand Built on Real Place and Real Taste
Big Easy Spirits Company was founded by industry veterans intent on building the city’s first modern spirits supplier. That mission shows.
Big Easy Whiskey is not trying to be everything to everyone. It is trying to taste like somewhere. In a market crowded with flavored spirits chasing trends, that clarity matters. Resources like the American Craft Spirits Association have highlighted the growing importance of regional identity in American spirits, and Big Easy fits squarely into that movement.
