Sidewalk Side Spirits is a new venture from Cocktail & Sons and Louisiana bakery Gambino's that's introducing "Mardi Gras in a bottle." Gambino's King Cake Rum Cream blends ingredients like Caribbean rum, Wisconsin cream, Louisiana sugarcane and Cocktail & Son's own King Cake Syrup straight out of New Orleans to encapsulate a feel-good, local experience. Sidewalk Side Spirits gets its name from the way people gather to celebrate with friends and family.
The "king cake in a glass" is packaged with imagery and colors that tap into the spirit of Mardi Gras, offering a refreshingly different way for people to experience a taste of tradition. The product has the potential to be used in many different ways, including everything from coffee to premium cocktail recipes.
