Universal’s Mardi Gras: International Flavors of Carnaval has kicked off, and if you’re looking to grab a drink in the center of the action, the French Quarter Bar has you covered. It’s located in the outdoor extended queue for Transformers, just outside Gramercy Park (or the French Quarter, as it’s known this time of year).

*NEW* Oh Baby – $12 for 20 oz. single serve or 12 oz. souvenir cup, $14.50 for 20 oz. souvenir cup
this custom brew is bursting with vanilla and cinnamon flavors on a base of sweet yet roasty malt
Category 5 Punch – $12 for 12 oz. single serve, $13.50 for 12 oz. souvenir cup, or $16.50 for 20 oz. souvenir cup
Myers’s Dark rum, Cruzan Aged Dark rum, passion fruit purée, mixed with grenadine, orange and lime juice
The drink is returning from last year, but it has gone down in quality significantly.
It has a strange, sour aftertaste and is far too heavy on the syrups.
Abita Purple Haze (ABV 4.2%) – $11.50 for 20 oz. single serve or 12 oz. souvenir cup, $14.50 for 20 oz. souvenir cup
a lager brewed with real raspberries, wheat malts, and Wanguard hops
Goombay Smash – $12 for 12 oz. single serve, $13.50 for 12 oz. souvenir cup, or $16.50 for 20 oz. souvenir cup
Cruzan Aged Dark rum, Don Q Coconut rum, Grand Marnier, Coco Lopez cream of coconut, mixed with pineapple, orange and lime juices
This is a great take on the piña colada. The lime gives it a bit of tartness, and the cream of coconut is complementary rather than overpowering. You can taste the rum without a strong alcoholic taste. This was one of our favorite drinks at the festival!
