If you’re looking to celebrate Mardi Gras with a Pensacola Beach twist, Crabs on the Beach has you covered. For a limited time, they’re serving up a King Cake Bushwacker that leans fully into local tradition.

This drink starts with their famous and much loved bushwacker recipe, poured over a special Mardi Gras rum that brings out subtle king cake flavors. It’s then topped with whipped cream, festive sprinkles, and of course the iconic king cake baby because Mardi Gras wouldn’t be complete without it.

Is this essentially an upgraded version of the classic bushwacker with what some might argue is just a king cake shot mixed in? Yes, that argument could be made. Is it delicious and worth ordering? Absolutely. It’s festive, fun, and a perfect way to celebrate Mardi Gras on the beach.

And if bushwackers aren’t your thing, they’ve still got you covered with king cake margaritas and even a king cake coffee so there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
