Carnival Punch

The Cocktail & Sons King Cake Syrup is a Mardi Gras treat, mirroring traditional King Cake flavors with its toasted cassia bark, nutty pecan extract, raw Louisiana sugar and a little bit of oleo saccharum-- a mix of lemon peel and sugar that draws flavorful oils from the citrus -- and offering versatility for use in a variety of cocktails.
