🎭 Bringing Bourbon Street to the Bay: Red Apple Lounge’s Mardi Gras Pop-Up


When Mardi Gras season rolls around, Ocean Springs gets a taste of New Orleans flair—thanks in large part to the annual transformation of Red Apple Lounge into the vibrant Mambo Pop-Up Bar. From January 17 to February 13, 2024, our Tarantino-inspired cocktail haven embraces the festive spirit of Mardi Gras, offering guests a unique blend of cinematic ambiance and Crescent City celebration.


🎉 A Pop-Up with Panache

Each year, Red Apple Lounge temporarily sets aside its usual film noir vibes to don the purple, green, and gold of Mardi Gras. The Mambo Pop-Up Bar features themed decor, lively music, and specialty cocktails that pay homage to New Orleans traditions. It's a limited-time experience that brings the energy and excitement of Bourbon Street right to the heart of Ocean Springs.


🍹 Carnival-Inspired Cocktails

Our Mardi Gras menu is a festive fusion of classic New Orleans flavors and creative mixology:

  • Purple Drink: A bold blend of Elijah Craig bourbon, Everclear 190, and grape juice.

  • Sazerac: A traditional concoction featuring Rittenhouse Rye Whiskey, absinthe, simple syrup, and Peychaud's bitters.

  • French 75: A sparkling mix of Couvignac Cognac, lemon, simple syrup, and Prosecco.

  • Hurricane: A tropical storm of Plantation Dark Rum, Bacardi Light Rum, lemon, and passionfruit liqueur.

  • King Cake Martini: A sweet treat with Taaka King Cake Vodka, half & half, amaretto, whipped cream, and a King Cake baby garnish.

  • Moonpie Martini: A dessert in a glass, combining marshmallow vodka, crème de banana, crème de cacao, half & half, and a Moonpie garnish.


We also feature local brews like Abita Mardi Gras and Chandeleur Carnival Cake Ale to round out the festive offerings.


🎭 A Celebration to Remember

The Mambo Pop-Up Bar isn't just about drinks; it's a full-fledged Mardi Gras experience. With vibrant decorations, themed nights, and a lively atmosphere, Red Apple Lounge becomes a hub of celebration during the Carnival season. Whether you're a local or just visiting, it's the perfect place to immerse yourself in the Mardi Gras spirit without leaving Ocean Springs.
